Castagneto Carducci

Small Tuscan mountain town, worth a short break with a Chappucino in the old town. Typical Italian cafes, restaurants and picturesque alleys and squares with wonderful views.

Sassetta is a picturesque village located in the Cornia valley, characterized by narrow streets and quiet squares. This location is renowned for its red marble, a world rarity, which has always been expertly shaped by stonecutters and skilled sculptors.

Defying the weather forecast with a look at the sky.
Right decision - no heavy rain event 😂, best cycling weather.

Can you go more often - you never bathe twice in the same river, because other waters follow

The obligatory round trip to Bolgheri for ice cream 🍦
This year there was lavender ice cream, but it somehow tastes like detergent or fabric softener 😳🤣
