collesalvetti  
collesalvetti
Set in the countryside in a wonderful natural environment, Collesalvetti is surrounded by hills, woods and Mediterranean scrub. Apart from the main town of Collesalvetti – originally an ancient Roman settlement, then a medieval fief and busy agricultural village – there are numerous villages with historic monuments in this area of Etruscan-Roman origin, where traces of prehistoric times can also be found.

Farm holidays are well organised and offer a warm welcome; specialities based on game, cured meats, cheeses and locally produced vegetables can be enjoyed on the farms and in local restaurants. Quality wines and olive oil are produced along this part of the Costa degli Etruschi crossed by the Wine Route.

For years, events celebrating open-air life and sport have been held in this area, chosen for its natural environment and the opportunities it provides for enjoying country pursuits. Its closeness to the sea and the art cities makes Collesalvetti a good base for holidays full of variety.
