Villa
Minozzo is in the heart of the Appenine mountain range on the
tip of the 'Parco Giganti' a protected national wildlife reserve.
Deer, wild boar and birds of prey are common sight and because there
is no intensive cultivation the food chain has never been broken,
the insect life such as butterflies and moths, grasshoppers, fireflies
and gloworms are in abundance.
The area has many tracks and footpaths for walkers and mountain
bikers to meander through some of Italy's undiscovered landscape
observing the wildlife and virtually not seeing another soul.The
many wonderful villages such as Sologno,
Minozzo, Febbio
and Santonio can be reached on the ancient tracks and paths often
without crossing tarmac roads.
The older houses built of stone can be seen in all the villages,
a few are neglected and in need of restoring and in many cases are
for sale in this tranquil part of Italy.
There are many hotels and guest houses in the area for those who
want to see what the area has to offer.
