'I cipressi che a Bolgheri alti
e schietti van da San Guido in duplice filar…' with
this poem the famous Italian poet Giosuè Carducci
celebrates the beauty of the street that connects the
sea to the antique village of Bolgheri.
The Etruscan Coast medieval villages are gently set between
the sea and the hills, or are immersed in the countryside,
and have the power of bringing the past to life again.
Suvereto, Campiglia Marittima, Castagneto Carducci, Sassetta,
Bolgheri, they all have paved alleys and quiet churches,
museums and many-towered castles. They create a fairy
itinerary that shows castles, parishes, tiny ancient theatres,
cloisters and villas hidden in the green where each summer
classic music concerts are held. In the harmonic environment
created by Medieval architecture, we also find Roman and
Renaissance evidence that testimony the social and historical
richness of these places.

There is a place in Tuscany that
escapes from the mentality of hectic tourism, this place
is called Costa degli Etruschi (Etruscan Coast), far away
from the 'hurrying-up world' that distorts the concepts
of space and time. There is no need to go far away to
find out that we are plunged into Nature because this
is still, in various areas, a virgin territory: its coast
has not gone through crazy cementations and visiting the
country, one can still find the hills and maquis of the
past centuries. You will walk through the trails of the
Etruscan Parks, where no sound of engine has ever disturbed
its nature. Riding a horse, walking or riding a bicycle,
you will discover the soul of this land, genuine and unobtrusive
like its people, fragrant like its grapes and wines, virgin
as its olive oil.
Contact
us us to know our convention with the Etruscan
Parks.

the largest European Marine Park
When the Tyrrhenian Venus emerged from the waves of the
sea, seven gemstones fell from her tiara, and so the Islands
of the Tuscan Archipelago were born. They are Elba, Giglio,
Capraia, Gorgona, Pianosa, Giannutri and Montecristo.
This is the ancient legend of the birth of the Tuscan
Archipelago, extoling the great role played by the sea,
which is the essence of today's National Park.
From legend to science, things change slightly, but the
"gems" remain, the "sisters" remain
seven sisters joined by the sea. During the Archipelago´s
geological history, the movement of the sea, at least
four hundred million years old, has altered the number
and shape of these gems, it has united them and has detached
them from the continent. It has ruled their animal and
vegetable domains; it has determined their history, their
monuments, their customs and traditions.
If you want to know about possible daily excursions from
our farm-house to the islands of the Tuscan Marine Park,
please contact
