THINGS TO DO
During your stay you go along green-filled paths either on foot or on mountain-bike and admire the crystal clear water of our small yet delightful lakewhere you can go fishing as well.
You'll also be amazed when you see the Medieval Rocca di Pietracassia (antique castle that dominates the entire valley) and you'll get to meet all our animal friends which of course collaborate in our farming activities; pigs, ducks and hens,cats and our fun-loving dogs>Pasquale, Zara and Briciola. Moreover you will be shown the famous breed of cows “Chianina” whose name recalls the re-known Florentine steak!
This in fact brings us to note that each apartment has its own gazebo in the spacious and green-filled garden as well as a plastic picnic table and chairs plus a barbecue for you to enjoy. The shared oval-shaped swimming pool is 11,5x5,5 mt. and it is positioned in such a way as to best benefit from the wonderful Tuscan sun! (swimming is allowed from June until September).
Your children can run and play freely and safely in the entire garden as well as the swimming-pool area since it's all fenced in, so that you can truly relax and maybe think about trying our massage and healt SPA service directly in your apartment or outside. You can taste and buy local food specialties. If you like, we can also accompany anyone interested in visiting wine, oil, cheese and honey producers in the surrounding areas.
Our FarmHoliday place also houses a small Church belonging to our family business, where now and then you can participate to religious services if you wish, nonetheless it's always open to whoever wants to say a prayer, which never harms!
How to reach us
You have two possibilities coming from the highway:
1) A12 Genoa-Rosignano Marittimo, in this case exit Pisa Aereoporto (Centro), and then directly onto the highway SGC Pisa-Florence.
2) A1 Bologna-Florence, in this case, the Firenze Signa exit and then right on the highway SGC Firenze-Pisa-Livorno.
In any case, you leave the highway in Pontedera / Ponsacco.
(Caution, if you come from Florence, it is the second exit for Pontedera!) and follow the signs for Ponsacco, where you arrive after about 4 km. You go through Ponsacco and follow the signs for long-distance Volterra (trucks). You come on your way to La Sterza (20 km distance) through the towns Capannoli Selvatelle La Rosa, where you follow the signs for SALINE DI VOLTERRA. In La Sterza in front of the restaurant DA Pasquino you turn right in direction MIEMO ( be careful, the sign is poorly placed).
