Badia Tedalda, Tuscany in the upper Marecchia valley

Badia Tedalda is the part of Tuscany that crosses the Apennine ridge: the municipality lies in the upper valley of the Marecchia, the river that flows down to Rimini, right up against Romagna. The Marecchiese road links it on one side to Sansepolcro, over the Viamaggio pass, and on the other to the Romagna side of the valley. The land is woods, pasture and many small hamlets.

Buying here means choosing the mountains. The town hall is at around 700 metres, winters are cold, and for the hospital, secondary schools and offices you have to drive, either towards the upper Tiber valley or towards the coast.

In 2023 there were 957 residents, down 12.3% on 2011. It is an older population: an average age of 53.9 against 47.6 in the province of Arezzo, with over-65s at 38.8%. Foreign residents make up 12.4% and households have 1.97 people on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Badia Tedalda is in seismic zone 2 in the Civil Protection classification, like 23 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.210 g. For a stone house or an old farmhouse, ask what structural work has been done and what paperwork goes with it.

On the slopes the report checks the official landslide maps and measures the gradient for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes its cadastral maps here, so you can trace the land parcel, which is useful when land comes with the house.
