Vallombrosa, located in the municipality of Reggello, is a destination that combines natural beauty and spiritual history. It is home to the State Biogenetic Nature Reserve, famous for its forests and scenic trails. Vallombrosa Abbey, founded in the 11th century, is a symbol of simplicity and meditation. The 'Circuit of Chapels' and Paradisino offer paths of reflection surrounded by nature. Vallombrosa and Saltino were famous health resorts in the 19th century. In the 1960s, a tourism revival was attempted with a ski resort, but without success. The Vallombrosa Arboretum, founded in 1870, is a valuable botanical collection.
