Catarsena Holiday Farm

The Holiday Farm lies in the province of Arezzo and is surrounded by the green and pleasant Tuscan countryside, in the heart of Casentino, at the border with
Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park.
The structure lies at 450m a.s.l., at about 6 km from Bibbiena in direction La Verna, in a central position in the valley: from here you can easily reach places of unique beauty like Camaldoli, Poppi, and Bibbiena.
We offer accommodation in two different buildings at about 300m one from the other: Chiesina farmhouse and Catarsena villa.
The Agricultural Holding
The agricultural holding covers about 900 hectares, at an altitude between 450 and 950m a.s.l. It was once divided into more estates according to the sharecropping system, while now it is mainly covered with forests.
