tuscan poetry

The blue blood of this noble land, which is famous for its Cabernet, Sassicaia and Ornellaia, runs along the Bolgherese road. Noble in its soul and simple in its traditions, the countryside of Castagneto has quite unexpectedly discovered itself to be a capital of outdoor tourism.

Even professional cyclists think that it is the best place to go cycling: little traffic, a wide choice of tracks and a pleasant climate all year round.

In Ecosistema Vacanze classification (a list of the more liveable tourist resorts) by Legambiente, Castagneto is in the first position in Tuscany and in the third on a national scale. In the last 10 years it has been awarded the Blue Flag six times, a prestigious prize given by the EU to seaside resorts having the best services and cleanest sea waters. However, numbers and official lists cannot describe either the atmosphere of these places or the best stories of these hills.

If timeless places attract you, cross the hills towards Sassetta. There along the tracks of Sassetta Trekking you will find that there are some people who live for nature and have immersed themselves in it, teaching children to horse-ride, bake bread and listen to plants … Fairy tales? Sure, but true.
