In contact with nature
The network of local dirt roads are perfect for lovers of walking and trekking. From the farm it is possible to enter the network of paths of the Macchia della Magona a forest complex of great naturalistic value. There is a widespread network of nature itineraries, consisting of 16 marked paths that reach very spectacular panoramic points including the Belvedere di Poggio Cavaliere and the Passo delle Golazze Aperte.

These routes are also ideal for gravel bikes and mountain bikes that start directly from the structure to enter the rich network of paths and perhaps try the very close route of the prestigious MTB competition Gran Fondo Costa degli Etruschi.
For road bikes the asphalt road is only 700 meters away and from here you have access to all the most sought-after routes of the hinterland and the Tuscan coast.

For dogs it is a paradise. In addition to being able to enjoy walks they have the opportunity to bathe in the nearby river full of natural beaches of gravel and river sand. There are 2 kennels for dogs and a large fenced area with a wooden house if necessary.
