General presentation
Volterra et Val di Cecina
Tuscany and more wildruscan, between the town of Albatre, clay hills, villages and open landscapes.
To understand what Volterra and Val di Cecina are, you must look at Volterra, the Roman Theatre of Volterra and Val di Cecina. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by urban life, heritage, countryside and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: slow roads and summer heat. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Volterra
Volterra stands out for a fabric of tight streets, contrasting materiality and sudden perspectives towards the nearby heights. By alternating local market and peripheral routes, the city shows a personality that is not limited to its monuments.
Place
Val di Cecina
Val di Cecina offers a diffuse landscape of countryside, villages and modest connections, rich in variations of light. Following a simple loop along the main axes allows to perceive the superimposed scales that make up the valley.
Place
Larderello
Larderello Surprises by the way the industrial site and natural forms coexist in the same visual setting. Advancing near the structures and then towards the open areas helps to understand the material history of the place and its present presence.
