About Londa
Londa is a village among woods, vineyards, olive groves and streams running down from Monte Falterona, on the border of the Casentinesi Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park. It was historically cut off where the Rincine and Moscia creeks meet. You enter over a two-arched 19th-century bridge into Piazza Umberto I, a natural amphitheatre often used for events and shows. Just outside is Lake Londa, an artificial lake popular for fishing, with walks and picnics on its banks, events in good weather and a park visitor centre on the shore. The homes are spread through the countryside around the village rather than in the centre.

- Best for
