Experiences
A walk through the vineyards at sunset, the scent of freshly baked bread mingling with the salty breeze, a shared glass of wine.
This page was born from the desire to tell a story. To tell the story of this part of Tuscany, still off the beaten path of mass tourism and therefore still vibrant and authentic.
I will tell you about places to discover, stories to listen to, flavors to savor. About the sea, an undisputed protagonist, about the heartwarming village festivals, about moments when simplicity transforms into happiness.
This is my invitation to slow down.
With a cup of tea in hand and an open heart, I take you with me through the pages of this Tuscan diary.
Welcome to my House in the Castle.

The Villages
The villages are an immense historical, artistic, and cultural heritage. Each community and each village has its own history, gastronomic tradition, and religious and secular festivals. The Tuscan villages represent an open-air museum and await you with their beauties, their shops, and the trattorias that will welcome you like family.
The Beaches
The Etruscan Coast is famous for its variety of colors and for its wild and unspoiled beaches where rocks alternate with free beaches. Depending on your preferences and also on how the wind 'blows', every day you can explore different beaches and find hidden corners, sand dunes, pebbles or rocks.
If, on the other hand, you love comfort, you can choose from many lidos with umbrellas, bars and restaurants on the beach to have everything in one place.
Wines and Wineries
The Suvereto area is also called Val di Cornia DOC and includes the territories of Suvereto, Sassetta, Monteverdi Marittimo and parts of Piombino, San Vincenzo, Campiglia Marittima and Monteverdi Marittimo. The white, red and rosé wines express character and strong personality. From Tenuta Casadei, reachable on foot from Suvereto, to Petra or Tua Rita, there are many wineries to explore in the area.

The Little Guide
The Little Guide Project was born about a year ago, in collaboration with Bruna from Podere La Gualda Vecchia. Together we committed ourselves every month to developing a theme that could encompass our personal vision of the territory, and from that project a book, a real guide, was born.
I am sure it will also enrich your holiday by helping you choose better and not 'adding' too many activities during your stay.
