Even if we are only 2 km away from the village, and 500 m from the bike-path, a car can be usefull.
COMING from Florence, the shortest way is SS n°70 that passes through the village of Pontassieve, climbs up the Apennines to the Consuma Pass and then descends to Poppi and Bibbiena.
COMING from Arezzo, you must follow the SS n° 71 which goes up the valley, skirting the Arno river (Capolona, Rassina, Bibbiena).
When you arrive in Bibbiena, take the road going to the village Hospital. After the Hospital go northwards (LA VERNA direction) for nearly 800 m; then you will find on the left a little road with the sign "SOCI" (a narrow road which goes down steeply). Take this and 400 m later (at the end of the slope) you will find on your right an avenue with rows of cypress trees. Welcome to Fattoria di Marena P.S. if you get lost, phone us!
