Rifugio Negritella
2.9About
Rifugio Negritella sits at 1986m in the Apennines, serving hikers crossing between the Arno and Tiber watersheds. The hut anchors the long-distance trails through this quieter mountain range. Access is from Pratovecchio (about 12km away) via the Casentino Valley. Most hikers arrive on foot in 4–5 hours from lower trailheads, though approach times vary with your starting point.
The rifugio has 30 beds across simple rooms. Meals are home-cooked and served family-style; half-board is standard. Showers work with limited hot water—this is a working mountain hut, not a resort. The kitchen stocks basics for packed lunches. The hut stays open year-round, though winter visits require advance notice since staffing drops. Mobile signal is patchy; don't count on it.
Book directly by phone (+39 0575 520048) or email. July and August fill quickly; book 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends. May, June, and September are quieter and often have availability on shorter notice. Winter ascents need confirmation at least one week ahead. Arrive before dark—the road ends well below the hut, and the final approach is on foot only.
