BOLGHERI
Bolgheri is world-famous for its excellent wine production, hosting some of the most prestigious wineries in Tuscany. The small village is nestled between green hills and vineyards, and is easily recognisable by its iconic Viale dei Cipressi, almost 5 kilometres long and mentioned in the poetry of Giosuè Carducci. Strolling through its cobbled streets, you can admire old shops, historic buildings and experience a timeless atmosphere. Bolgheri is a place that combines tradition, food and wine and nature, perfect for those seeking Tuscan authenticity.
CASTAGNETO CARDUCCI
Just a few kilometres away, Castagneto Carducci offers a dive into Tuscan history and culture. This medieval village, perched on a hill, is named after the famous poet Giosuè Carducci, who spent part of his childhood here. Here you can lose yourself in the cobbled streets, visit the castle of the Conti della Gherardesca and taste the local flavours. From Castagneto's panoramic viewpoints, the view sweeps from the countryside to the sea, offering unforgettable glimpses.
In addition to the villages, the area offers a wide range of experiences in contact with nature: from wine and food itineraries in the renowned wine cellars to walks along the hill paths and along the Etruscan Coast, with its unspoilt beaches and crystal-clear waters. History buffs can explore ancient archaeological sites, while sea lovers will find relaxation and fun on the beaches of Marina di Castagneto.
