This charming hotel combines old with new, with lots of original features but also modern comforts such as a free internet point. You will find a cosy reading room and 2 TV lounges. The restaurant was opened in 2007 and serves traditional Tuscan dishes, a mix of meat and fish, all accompanied by an extensive list of Italian fine wines. During the summer it is especially nice to eat out on the terrace. Stia is in the Casentino Valley in a large protected area of the Parco Nazionale del Monte Falterona e delle Foreste Casentinesi. There are plenty of castles, monasteries, and pure water springs to discover.
