Bed & Breakfast · Santa Sofia (FC) · Casentino Forests
A tastefully restored home in the Romagna hills, in the heart of the Casentino Forests National Park. Nature, silence and genuine hospitality.
Ca Maìna is an old house restored with care and taste, in Santa Sofia — gateway to the Casentino Forests National Park. The breakfast room with its crystal chandelier and wood stove, homemade jams with our own label, the kitchen with original exposed beams. Ridracoli Dam is ten minutes away. You won't find an automated front desk: you'll find us.
Every room has a character, a name, a soul. All with private bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi and countryside views.
A historic village of Tuscan-Romagna, set along the Bidente river, in the province of Forlì-Cesena. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it emerged as a crossing point between the valley and the Apennine passes toward Tuscany. Today it is the gateway to the Casentino Forests National Park: a lively centre, with shops, restaurants and an ancient bridge over the river that lights up warmly every evening.
Santa Sofia is the gateway to the Casentino Forests National Park. Four seasons of nature, sport and culture within easy reach.
An extraordinary feat of engineering in the heart of the Park: 103.5 m high, 33 million m³ of water. A blue lake among the forests, wildlife, and activities all year round.
Guided tours on the lake: one of the most spectacular ways to experience the dam and the forest.
Guided outings through the lake's hidden corners, between nature and the history of the Ridracoli hamlet.
A science museum about water, in an ancient stone building. Guided visits into the dam's tunnels.

One of Italy's most important historic forests, on the border between Romagna and Tuscany. Monte Falco (1,657 m), Monte Falterona (1,654 m). Cool and green in summer, snowy and silent in winter. Exceptional wildlife just minutes from Ca Maìna.
