Holiday apartment in Partina between castle, parish churches and waterside setting

Partina combines a distinctive waterside setting with stories of castles, churches and village life, as well as its own culinary tradition. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Partina, you can choose a place where the landscape, visible traces of history, sacred architectural heritage and traditional cuisine each add a different dimension to your trip. For families with different interests, this means that the waterside setting along the Rimaggio and Archiano, the history of the castle and churches, the Bonconte da Montefeltro cycle and footpath, and Ravioli di Partina can be considered separately when planning each day. Depending on the day's preferences, you can make the landscape, architectural history, path along the Archiano or ravioli the focus of your time in Partina.

Elevated setting on the Rimaggio

Partina is situated above the Rimaggio stream, immediately above its confluence with the Archiano River. This setting is a clear point of reference if, when choosing a holiday apartment, you want to consider not only the name of the village but also the character of the landscape.

Castle and historic buildings in Partina

Partina developed around an old castle, which has been documented in records since 1095. Some original parts of the castle have survived and remain visible. Partina is also home to Villa Rosa Scoti, a historic aristocratic villa. The Church of San Biagio began as an oratory and was elevated to the status of a parish church in the 18th century. The Chapel of Santa Rita is another notable historic building: it was restored and recently donated to the municipality of Bibbiena. Visitors interested in culture can regard the castle, Villa Rosa Scoti, San Biagio and Santa Rita as specific historical highlights in Partina.

Parish churches with a long history

Outside Partina, on the road to Bibbiena, stands the ancient Pieve di Santa Maria, which dates back to the 11th century. The remains of the Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta in Partina are now incorporated into a farmhouse. They have been documented since 1005 and are considered among the most important parish churches in Casentino. In the 18th century, the Pieve di Santa Maria Assunta lost its status and was deconsecrated. The former Museo di Partina was closed in 2010. For visitors interested in culture, the two parish churches form a distinct focus alongside the castle, villa, church and chapel.

Cycle and footpath and Ravioli di Partina

If you would like to combine cycling and walking, the Bonconte da Montefeltro cycle and footpath begins in Partina on the left bank of the Torrente Archiano. The connection between the village and the starting point of the path on the Archiano makes it a clear point of reference for an active part of the day. The village's cuisine offers a completely different way to experience it: the village women roll out the dough for Ravioli di Partina by hand. When planning your day, you can consider the path as an active segment and the ravioli as a culinary highlight separately.
