Trekking-Hiking
Casa Santicchio is at the centre of a series of trails marked by the National Park of the Casentino Forests, by the CAI and by us.

This allows for easy access on foot to the most beautiful areas and to the most spectacular views, passing through the woods and along the streams. Possible hikes vary in length from a half an hours walk to excursions lasting a whole day. Although it's possible to walk almost all year round, the best seasons here are spring, summer and autumn.

Residential Retreats
Casa Santicchio is the ideal place for residential retreats on yoga, meditation, dance, massage, tai chi, photography, painting and art.

Thanks to the quietness of the location, the beauty of the surrounding wilderness, the genuine food and the authenticity of the place it definitely provides the perfect backdrop for these activities.

Relaxation
Arriving back at our refuge, after a day spent walking on the trails of the Park, you deserve a surprise: our Finnish wellness treatment! Immerging yourself in the larchwood bathtub with spring water at 40 °, you will restore both body and spirit, while admiring the view of Mount Penna, the mountain which was so dear to St. Francis and the place where the Sanctuary of La Verna is found.

In the peace and quiet of Vallesanta, a brief cold shower will prepare you for the Finnish sauna and allow you to enjoy a unique experience.
