Sitting high on a hill we could set it from our villa across the valley so we decided to visit the ruins. It is well landscaped and being restored but not a lot remains of the original. It is interesting and the rooms that are restored are well done. It appears Dante may have lived here in his exile.

Disappointing.…

The castello is worth seeing. The landscape around is gorgeous and the views amazing. The grounds are nice and there is a small museum in one of the towers. The brochure provides sufficient information, but seeing the castello per se is completed quickly. What is really worthy in my opinion is the landscape around it, including the beatiful pieve de Romena. I hiked there from Pratovecchio in 2 hours round trip. It is a nice hike. Most people get there by car but they miss the nice little details along the road.…
