The best running trails around Palazzuolo Sul Senio

The place is very beautiful. Too bad it was supposed to be open and instead....

The Fontana Moneta refuge has bedrooms, toilets and hot water. It is a perfect place to refresh and stay overnight. It is located near the Sintria stream and not far from the church of Sant'Andrea. The entire complex was carefully restored by the UOEI (Unione Operaia Escursionisti Italiani) section of Faenza, which preserved its original layout and architecture. If the original name, "Fontana Moneta", perhaps derives from the tax that the local lords made the poor people pay so that they could use the water fountain under the church, today the refuge is dedicated to Primo Peroni, one of the founders of the Group Speleologist from Faenza and pioneer of hiking in the Romagna Apennines, who passed away in 1978.

Great place to stay if touring. excellent breakfast

... centuries-old building complex with adjoining church near the Sintria stream ... The refuge (completely restored and furnished) is served by water, electricity, gas and has 31 beds distributed in 5 rooms as well as 2 dining rooms with kitchen and 5 toilets with shower and hot water. ... You can access the use of the self-managed refuge: - by contacting the "attendance management" staff of the "Fontana Moneta" refuge - by booking online on the website » parks.it ... According to an undocumented tradition, the name Fontana Moneta (which derives from a fountain still existing below the church, near the waters of the Sintria stream) could be traced back to a tribute that "the lords of the castle above demanded from the poor people who brought to draw water". But this is probably a fantasy. Probably "money" was intended as an adjective for "equipped", that is, "closed or defended or not disposable". ... The entire building complex (including the church dedicated to S. Andrea), located at 634 m. above sea level in the heart of the Romagna Apennines, it has been carefully restored by the U.O.E.I. section of Faenza, rigorously preserving its original layout and architecture.

Nice, well-kept, welcoming refuge. I took the family there to eat and sleep and we enjoyed it very much.

The Alpine Refuge "I Diacci" (941 m asl), immersed in the green beech forests of the upper Mugello on the crest of the Tuscan-Romagna Apennines, not far from the Sambuca Pass, is a perfect stop for trekking, Nordic walking, mountain biking and horseback riding. The Rovigo river, which flows not far from the refuge, with its ancient mill and its waterfalls remains an enchanting destination in both summer and winter. The Refuge offers rooms with private bathroom, a large dining room and a simple but appetizing cuisine. DOG FRIENDLY.
