Montecatini Val di cecina

The medieval village and its Tower

Montecatini Val di Cecina is a beautiful town of medieval origin located in central Tuscany, a twenty-minute drive from the ancient Etruscan city of Volterra.

The village is splendid and well-preserved and offers numerous reminders of the period including the Castle, old houses and the church of St. Blaise.

Montecatini’s location is perfect for exploring the beauty of Tuscany in a day trip, from beaches to art cities, but also for lazily enjoying widespread beauty untouched by the concrete ugliness of industrial areas and highway interchanges.

The area is dotted with small villages and ancient hamlets surrounded by nature, clay hills, vast areas of forests and cultivated valleys.
