Peccioli is a medieval village nestled in the Valdera region of Pisa, which has recently emerged as one of Tuscany's most captivating destinations due to its ability to blend tradition and innovation. It won the Borgo dei Borghi 2024 competition, showcasing how history, art, and sustainability can come together in an authentic and enchanting setting.
As you stroll through its cobblestone streets, you'll find historical buildings and ancient churches, such as the Pieve di San Verano, a prime example of Pisan Romanesque architecture, and the Museum of Sacred Art, housing works from the surrounding parishes. The Palazzo Pretorio, adorned with heraldic shields, is home to the "F. Bigazzi" collection of Russian icons, offering a unique journey through the sacred and the secular.
Peccioli's cultural vocation is further enhanced by projects that merge contemporary art with the landscape: among these is the Palazzo Senza Tempo, featuring a terrace overlooking the hills, and the colorful Endless Sunset walkway by artist Patrick Tuttofuoco, which adds a visionary touch to the village. There are also family-friendly spaces like the Prehistoric Park, which features lifelike dinosaur replicas that delight both children and adults.
The village is also a lively hub for events: the summer festival "11 Lune" showcases theatrical performances, concerts, and artistic displays, while during the Christmas season, the streets come alive with markets and festive atmospheres.
Nearby attractions include the renowned Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, a natural amphitheater famous for Andrea Bocelli's concerts, the Castelfalfi Golf Club set in the Tuscan countryside, the Pieve di San Martino in Palaia, and the "Jerusalem of San Vivaldo" in Montaione, a religious complex replicating sites from the Holy Land.
Peccioli's hilltop location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring some of Tuscany's most iconic destinations: Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, and Florence are easily accessible, as are the well-known seaside resorts of Versilia, from Viareggio to Forte dei Marmi.
The surrounding area, dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and nature trails, invites outdoor experiences such as hiking, cycling, and culinary tastings. Visiting Peccioli and its surroundings means embarking on a comprehensive journey through art, history, nature, and flavors in one of Tuscany's most authentic corners.
