Diacceto, a quaint town nestled 1/3 of the way through Stage 2 of the Via di Francesco pilgrimage trail, offers a moment of transition for hikers. As you leave behind the vineyards and olive groves of the Arno River Valley, the deep forests of the Central Apennine mountain range lie ahead, welcoming you into a world of friendly solitude much loved by mystics like St. Francis. Experience a taste of history with a stop at the charming Locanda Tinti or visit the nearby Casentino forests.
