Above a windy hill, in the Tuscan countryside near the sea,
Podere Calvaiola enjoys the breath taking views of the Tuscan landscape.
The farmhouse was built in 1750 for 3 families who had the task of
managing the crops of the surrounding land.
It rises among Etruscan ruins, in fact, the surrounding countryside
was part of the state of the Etruscans of Volterra and from 1700 of the
Barons of Casaglia. It is inside its wood that in 1932 a tomb dating back
to a powerful Etruscan family was found. This tomb is now located in the
archaeological museum of Cecina. For this reason, today, part of the
surrounding forest is bound by cultural heritage.
Podere Calvaiola is located in the region of Tuscany, province of Pisa.
It is a 10 mile drive to the sea and 1 hour away from Pisa, its closest city.
Nearby there are also several medieval villages. We highly suggest to visit Volterra, San Giminiano, Castagneto Carducci, Castellina Marittima and Montescudaio.
If you are planning to stay a few extra days in the area, Firenze, Siena and Pisa cannot be missed!
However we have to warn you, be careful to Stendhal syndrome, these places are beautiful!
