Places to be discovered along winding roads dotted with lavender bushes and brooms. Suggestive itineraries, in the green heart of the Apennines, lead, along streams and churches, to heights dominated by ancient towers. Here nature is the most precious jewel adorned with the colors, scents and flavors of herbs and fruits that Casola has never forgotten.

Located in the heart of the Romagna Apennines. it can be reached by going up the Senio Valley, along a suggestive road that branches off among gentle hills worked in ordered rows of vines. Casola Valsenio constitutes, together with Brisighella and Riolo Terme. the mountainous part of the province of Ravenna thus presenting the culture, economy, environment and costumes typical of the Romagna Apennine. The rediscovery and preservation of the various medicinal and aromatic species characterize the entire locality, offering natural glimpses of rare beauty.
