Visiting the “Terre di Pisa” means going back in time, walk, run or drive free in the territory, off the beaten tracks, inside an ambience of recreation and calmness where you feel at home.
Build your own itinerary, across unknown places keeping small treasures of history and art, proud of their traditions and identity. Move around on foot, by bike, by vespa or as you please, surrounded by breathtaking landscapes which will astonish you for their authentic sometimes wild atmosphere .
You discover other “masterpieces”: wine, olive oil, cheese, truffle, the many local food products going back to the Tuscan farmers tradition but having its roots in the Etruscan or Roman time.
