Along the road from Volterra (12
km) to San Gimignano (15 km) you find the Cafaggiolo
estate,
not far from the villas of Ulignano (17th century) und Scopicci (18th
century) as well as
the medieval church "Pieve della Nera" (11th century).
A few steps from the farmhouse you can see the trail leading to the adjoining and
uncontaminated "Natural reserve
of Monte Nero" with the lovely waterfalls of the Nera. The variety of rare plants and animals surprises
constantly visitors fond of nature and trekking with the sudden appearance of many species
of birds and ungulates as well as with wide fields covered with wild orchids. |

The short distance of 12 km to the most interesting etruscan city of Volterra, of 15 km to San Gimignano, the "city of the medieval
skyscrapers", and only 45 km to the coast
will allow you to complete a unique holiday made of physical and intellectual well being
and enrichment.
