"Falterona Hotel" overlooks right this antique and charming square of Stia, with its beautiful XV century palace now completely restored thanks to a successful union between antique architecture and modern comfort.
The "Alto Casentino" area is rich in castles, hermitages, monasteries and pure water springs; everything here seems to be mystic and legendaty, in the middle of the wonderful "National Patk of Casentino Forests", with its total nature reserves such as "Sasso Fratino" which can boast the greenest and richest in fauna woods in Tuscany.
The river Arno rises on the slopes of "Falterona Mount" and its waters mix with the ones of the many brooks and small streams which flow down to the valley.
Thanks to this abundance of waters, a project for a thermal centre has been recently started in Stia, thanks in particular to the salutary water of Calcedonia spring, that gush out from about ten taps in the park of the antique "Palagio Fiorentino" only a short way from "Falterona Hotel".
