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. Agriturismo, farmhouse holiday rentals with swimming pool and flexible arrival date abound in this area. In this section you can find budget holiday accomodation near Pisa and Volterra.

Tuscany

Also known as vacation homes, these privately-owned, fully-furnished villas and farm apartments offer many advantages over hotels, motels, and other forms of conventional accommodation. Vacation home rentals provide special and unique holiday experiences unavailable elsewhere.
Our Vacation homes come in all shapes and sizes.

They can be found in the medieval hilltop towns of Tuscany, deep in the rural areas of Val d’Orcia, right in the middle of art cities like Venice, Florence and Rome, on a lush beach in Sicily.

No matter where your vacation plans take you or what you plan on doing once you get there - hiking, biking, skiing, diving, or just reading books and laying out in the sun - there are vacation rental properties on Pure and Authentic ready to meet your needs.

Vacation rentals provide you with unparalleled space and privacy, which are so often lacking in the single room typically offered at a hotel or motel. With all of the amenities of your own home, like multiple bedrooms, fully-furnished living rooms, and many other comforts, vacation rentals are a great way to vacation like a local.

Thanks to the available kitchen, you can cook your own basic or gourmet meals and don’t have to eat out for every breakfast, lunch, and dinner - unless, of course, that’s what you want. Preparing meals this way can be a great way to save money, especially if you are travelling with the kids.
