Maglietola: Stone Houses, History and Trails
Accommodation in Maglietola
Maglietola is a small settlement near Colla, also known as Magliettola. A handful of stone houses define the place. In the wider travel area, Maglietola is one of the villages in the Bardine Valley; it is also the last village before the Pioero area. These reference points make the small settlement interesting to travelers who want to include local village history and scenery in their stay in Tuscany.
A Small Place with a Clear Location
Coming from the direction of Aulla on the SS63, the route passes through Rometta, Ceserano and Colla; turn right for Maglietola. This sequence of place names provides clear directions for the approach and highlights Colla as a nearby landmark.
If you are weighing up an art city against a rural place to stay for your trip to Tuscany, Maglietola offers a different scale: the focus here is on a small village, nearby church history and the surrounding trails. This appeals to travelers who want to explore culture not only through major cities, but also through smaller places and their surroundings.

Church History Nearby
San Terenzo Monti lies near Maglietola. There, San Terenzio Church is one of the oldest churches in Lunigiana; the Lombard Transualdo founded it in 728. The interior is decorated in the Baroque style, and the church contains a 15th-century marble baptismal font.
The 8th-century founding and the 15th-century baptismal font mark widely separated points in time; the Baroque style also describes the interior’s design. This allows culture enthusiasts to place the church in both a historical and an architectural context.
Hiking: A Circular Trail and a Route Section
Route descriptions dated December 29, 2024, mention two different types of hike: the 2.2-kilometer Sentiero 200, a circular route between San Terenzo and Valla, and the 2.4-kilometer section of Sentiero 201V from Bardine to MaestĂ della Cima. The 201V section is 0.2 kilometers longer, but planning also means distinguishing between a loop and a named route section. So when choosing a hike, it helps to consider its format and stated endpoints as well as its length.
At the trail signpost at an elevation of 389 meters, Sentiero 201V is described as a clear, fairly wide path. It first descends through the forest, followed by uphill and downhill stretches. The path offers a view of Maglietola.
Via dei Martiri di San Terenzo begins opposite the start of Sentiero 201V, providing a clear landmark for finding your way around the trail area. Check trail conditions before hiking.
