The ancient
Botruccio Farm is in Pomarance, in the heart of Tuscany,
among verdant hills crossed by the river Cecina.
Secular impressive cypresses and a vast pine-wood frame the house,
where you can find pleasant corners for your relax.
The agritourism in fact stretches on a six-hectare surface, which
can also boast of an olive grove and vineyards.
As regards the naturalistic and artistic beauties of the Val di
Cecina, the Botruccio Farm occupies a strategic position: at only 20
km from Volterra, half an hour from the sea and at an hour’s
distance from the main Tuscan art cities: Pisa, Firenze, Siena.
The agritourism’s guests have the opportunity to choose among
diversified itineraries: it is possible to visit the ancient
medieval villages secured upon woody hills; the ruins of the
Romanic-Norman church and of the fortress of Sillano; the
boraciferous soffioni and the Geothermal Museum.
The visit to the urban centre of Pomarance will also reveal itself
interesting, with the church of the village embellished by paintings,
and with the beautiful nineteenth-century buildings of via Roncalli.
Moreover, the nearby manège provides the opportunity to cover most
of these itineraries by horse, fully savouring the smells and tastes
of an almost untouched country-side.
Mountain-bikes are also be available.
Not to miss either, for those who love folklore, is the Palio
delle Contrade which is held yearly on the second Sunday of
September.
The municipality of Pomarance also offers an assorted choice of
sport facilities, including the swimming-pool heated with
geothermal vapour, for those who in the peace of their stay don’t
want to forget to take care of their body.
