A true voyage into the heart of the most authentic, wildest Tuscany. A land of charcoal burners and transhumance herders on an itinerary that offers glimpses of an area of breathtaking beauty. Immersed in the Mediterranean maquis with shimmering views of the coast and the isle of Elba. Cypresses, cork oaks and monumental turkey oaks punctuate the road amongst ancient farms with olive groves and vineyards. Wide open spaces are interspersed with the magic of the woods until you reach Sassetta, a small village with great character where you can take a refreshing break in the spa waters of the Cerreta.
