Corte della Maddalena

Corte Della Maddalena is situated in a small village in the National Park of the Tosco-Emiliano Apennines, in a large valley in the border of Tuscany, close to Pianura Padana Land and the beautiful Ligurian See with the famous Cinque Terre. In every season the nature all around the village is nice and suggestive and it goes from chestnut wood to that of beech. There are many lakes surrounded by greenery and a breathtaking ridge and special places like Pietra Di Bismantova. It is a mountain full of water and forest trails that can lead you easily in very suggestive places, like Sorgenti del Secchia. Just two kilometres there is Cerwood, the biggest Italian adventure park on the woods, a real spasse for young and adults. Untouched nature, but close to historical cities like Bologna in Emilia-Romagna or Lucca in Tuscany. And so close to big firms like Museo Ferrari in Maranello.

Corte Della Maddalena is an old stone court, completely restored by Apennines workers. With Wood, Stone and Iron. The property is closed around a large central yard , and with a private garden on the back from where you see the mountains. It is a romantic place, full of history, energy and warmth, where it is possible to stay quiet, to write, to spoil a love story, leave for an excursion in the wood or in the mountain with Vincenzo and Rosi, two hiking guide. The breakfast is a real cuddle. You can eat crafts and homemade sweets. Corte Della Maddalena is a magical place, where time seems stand still and so quit to host a bird that come back every year to nest inside the ancient walls. It is a place where you can find Amanzio Fiorini's imagines and archive, the old photographer of the Apennines and Rosi' s grandfather. It is a place where, if you want, you can learning Italian by doing, or where you can listen ancient stories about the mountains and their people. .....because your vacation is a trip to remember....
