Our staff continually select villas to offer to all those who wish to spend a holiday in Tuscany. On this page we offer our
villas in Castelnuovo in Garfagnana
Castelnuovo in Garfagnana is the main town of Garfagnana and it is famous for its "
Rocca ", which hosted in 1522 Ludovico Ariosto, the composer of "Orlando Furioso".
Visit the Duomo, the eighteenth-century convent "dei Cappuccini" and the eighteenth-century "Archivio Notarile"
From Castelnuovo there is a magnificent panoramic road that takes you to the 14th century "
Pieve Fosciana " and to
Castiglione di Garfagnana , a 14th century fortified village. We then move on to
San Pellegrino in Alpe , and old hospice for travelers.
In the area you can also visit the
Ethnographic Museum that houses the tools and instruments used in agriculture in the past in Garfagnana.
It is here that we rediscover the use of spelt. Almost disappeared in modern times as it was replaced by the wheat, the " farro " , wheat that was the real food for Romans, here in Garfagnana finds its antique, constant and modern oasis.
Thanks to Garfagnana, the "farro" today is now back in fashio and the "minestra di farro", spelt soup, is today served also in very important restaurants.
