Premilcuore and the Apennines of the Casentinesi Forests

Nearby locations

In the heart of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Casentinesi Forests National Park, Premilcuore is one of the most authentic villages in Romagna.

 

Awarded the Orange Flag by the Italian Touring Club, it preserves the charm of traditional mountain villages: stone alleys, the Rabbi River flowing through the town, and a peaceful atmosphere where time seems to move more slowly.

 

This is still a little-known area waiting to be discovered, far from mass tourism, where nature, traditions, and hospitality offer an authentic experience of the Apennines between Romagna and Tuscany.

Thanks to its strategic location, Premilcuore is the ideal starting point for discovering a region rich in nature, historic villages, and local traditions.
