Area Collina

The area where Campo di Carlo is located is one of the most enchanting in Tuscany: the hills of the Etruscan Coast. This part of the region, nestled between the sea and historic villages, strikes a perfect balance between unspoiled nature, ancient culture, and authentic flavors.

Just a few minutes from the agriturismo, Sassetta welcomes visitors with its compact and panoramic center, surrounded by chestnut forests and crisscrossed by trails ideal for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The Forest Museum and the Poggio Neri Nature Park are perfect for discovering local flora, the history of charcoal makers, and regional traditions, all set in a tranquil green backdrop.

About a fifteen-minute drive away, the medieval villages of Castagneto Carducci, Bolgheri, and Suvereto offer picturesque views and atmospheres rich in history. Their cobblestone streets, stone buildings, wine shops, and artisan boutiques allow one to immerse in the most authentic spirit of Tuscany. Bolgheri, in particular, is famous for its iconic cypress avenue and being the home of some of the world’s most prestigious wines, such as Sassicaia and Ornellaia.

The beaches of the Etruscan Coast, all reachable in under thirty minutes, range from wild coves like Buca delle Fate and Baratti to family-friendly beach resorts in San Vincenzo, Donoratico, and Follonica. The often crystal-clear sea, frequently awarded the Blue Flag, is bordered by shady pine forests, natural parks like Rimigliano, and areas perfect for boat excursions or day trips to Elba Island.

For those interested in exploring the artistic side of Tuscany, Campo di Carlo serves as a great starting point for visiting Volterra and San Gimignano, or for day trips to Florence, Pisa, and Siena. The surrounding area also holds significant traces of Etruscan civilization, such as the necropolis of Populonia, which can be explored through paths immersed in Mediterranean vegetation, and the San Silvestro archaeological and mining park in Venturina, where visitors can discover ancient mines and metalworking techniques.

The region is also abundant in wellness opportunities: the Terme di Sassetta, just 2 km away, is affiliated with the facility and offers spa treatments set in nature. Nearby are also the Venturina wellness center and the thalassotherapy at Marina di Castagneto.

Lastly, for food and wine enthusiasts, the Etruscan Coast Wine and Oil Route offers memorable experiences with wine tastings, visits to olive oil mills, themed events, and dinners in taverns where one can rediscover the flavors of traditional Tuscany.
