San Biagio
Piazza dei Priori
Piazza dei Priori, the main square of Volterra. Here you will find the oldest "palazzo" in Tuscany. In the Middle Ages, the local government was based in the building. The original name of the building was therefore the Domus Communis, which roughly translates as the town hall.

It is one of the most striking squares in the world, Piazza Duomo in Pisa, renamed the Piazza dei Miracoli (Square of Miracles) by Gabriele d’Annunzio due to the sheer amount of masterpieces it hosts. Just one hour drive from Volterra!

Horseriding
There are many things to do in and around Volterra. Our holiday homes are the perfect starting point. But what's better than enjoy the Tuscan hills from the back of a horse?
San Vincenzo
San Vincenzo is a small but cozy fishing village on the Tuscan coast, only 1 hour drive from Volterra . Nice to combine a day at the beach with the boulevard at the marina. Beaches can be found on both sides of the harbour. A small beach can be found north of the harbour, with a parking lot directly behind it. Just make sure you don't leave any valuables in your car! The sea south of the harbor is a bit wilder with high waves.
