Camporaghena: the village where time stood still
Camporaghena is a small stone village in Lunigiana, at 800 metres above sea level, in the municipality of Comano. It's where our B&B is. No shops, no bars, no traffic. Just stone, silence and a view that stretches to the Apuan Alps and the sea.

What Camporaghena is
Camporaghena is a village of about 50 inhabitants, perched on a ridge between the Taverone and Rosaro valleys. The houses are all in stone, the alleys are narrow, the only sounds are the wind, the bells and the birds. There's no shop, no bar, no restaurant. The nearest services are in Comano, 10–15 minutes by car.
It's the perfect place for those seeking silence, slowness and an authentic experience. It's not for those looking for entertainment, nightlife or comfort at hand. Here you come to switch off, walk, read, look at the mountains.
