Poggio Cavallaro lodge

The Poggio Cavallaro refuge is a structure available to nature lovers and excursions in the park. It is possible to stay there by booking. The refuge can be reached from the provincial road (towards Florence) shortly after Giumella, taking path 319 going up for about 3.5 km. Another way is from the Manzo pass (road that connects Premilcuore to Portico di Romagna) taking the forest road (closed to transit) covering about 5.5 km. In both cases the excursion is pleasant and the landscape enchanting. The refuge has a dining room with fireplace, kitchen with LPG gas, bathroom with rainwater in an underground cistern and two bedrooms with 12 places on bunk beds. An external diesel generator guarantees electricity for several hours while in the large garage there is a wood deposit and a stove (always wood) that powers the radiators for heating.
