The three provinces of Siena, Florence and Pisa converge here. It is a central area of Tuscany, quite highly populated, but unspoilt. All this makes it an ideal stage for many kinds of excursions. We
prepared some itineraries you can follow on foot or on bike.
Excursions on horse-back must be booked and agreed upon.
