Cerbaiola is a unique and special corner of Tuscany, with the authentic atmosphere of a medieval farming village. Most of the town has been carefully redesigned and refurbished after years of abandonment when the last families, in the middle of the last century, left to pursue their dreams and hopes among others following the inexporable pull towards larger and growing cities.

The approach, even if you need to take a gravel road for the final two km, is fast and easy coming from either direction – the Apennines or Florence and Siena, or alternatively from the coast along the Thyrrenian sea. The river Cecina, which snakes its way along the small valey below us, describes the limit of the province of Pisa, and on the other side lies toward Siena, the closest major historic city (about 40 km away or 40 min by car). Florence is about 70 km to the North, or 1hr by car thanks to the Siena-Florence autoroute.
