Le Valli was restored in full respect of traditional Tuscan architecture and turned into a welcoming holiday farmhouse divided into 4 apartments.

What we liked about this property is its simplicity: it has everything - with no frills!

Each apartment has its own entrance, outdoor space and individual heating.

We also liked the large common room with fireplace, ping pong, areas for reading, TV sat which is ideal both for the kids to have fun even during naptime and for those who like to stay up late and socialise.

This large common room is also ideal for large groups wanting to eat together in one place.

Outside there are a wood-burning oven for pizza, a barbecue, parking and an infinity swimming pool 4x8 meters.

A holiday at Le Valli guarantees for absolute tranquility with extensive views over the surrounding countryside.

The adjacent forests are ideal for hiking and its central location allow to quickly reach cities of great artistic and cultural importance as well-known seaside resorts.

Coming to the COLLINE METALLIFERE is taking a journey back in time through geysers, intriguing ghost copper mines, Etruscan fortresses, thermal spas, wild nature and perfectly preserved medieval hamlets vibrant with community life.

Le Colline Metallifere is the very heart of unknown and unspoilt Tuscany, a corner where the three provinces of Siena, Pisa and Grosseto meet to form a varied and spectacular scenery.

The name originates from the geological composition of the rocks – rich in metals – which have given birth and sustenance to generations since the ancient times.
Records dating back to Etruscan times witness the deep relationship this people has had with the land and its nature. The love and respect for the natural composition of this land, together with the wit and ingenuity have led to a perfect balance between exploiting the land and preserving its beauty.

Sustained by copper and alum mining first, geothermal energy production and farming now, the Colline Metallifere have remained an undiscovered pearl in one of the most visited regions of Europe.
Its beauty lies mainly in the varied landscape which spans from gentle hills to rugged valleys dotted with crags and geysers, cattle grazing free amidst sunflower and corn fields.

The villagers love their quiet life and have decided to offer a limited quantity of accommodation to sensible, respectful and quiet tourists who will tiptoe into their land with the wish to savour an almost forgotten lifestyle.

Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina is a small village in the Colline Metallifere, sitting on the offshoots of the Maremma overlooking the Tirrenean sea and the Isle of Elba. Its origins date back to the Lombard period (VII c), witnessed by a number of fortresses - still standing in the area - which the Lombards built when opening new roads in search for minerals between Volterra and Massa Marittima. The area around Castelnuovo is rich in archaeological sites of the neolithic, etruscan, barbaric and medieval periods. The land is also marked by stunning millenary parish churches witnessing the rooting and spread of Christianity in the area. The landscape is characterized by gentle hills, about 500-600 metres high, except the Devil’s Yard reaching 875 mts. Besided the River Cecina, the region is crossed by the Cornia stream that springs here and by tributaries of the Cecina, the Pavone and the Possera being the most important ones. The woods are thick and the vegetation ranges from the Mediterranean scrub – pine trees, junipers, English oaks, strawberry trees – to the typical Appennine vegetation with turkey oaks, hornbeam, ashes, chestnuts.
