Good location in a pretty Tuscan village where there are coffee bars, restaurants and some local shops. Ideal for the lovely walking trails, for all the natural and cultural attractions that are in the surroundings, and for the proximity to the sea.

The area is known for the abundant geothermal energy, and, indeed, a geothermal plant can be seen in the distance from the property. This uses steam which comes from the natural reservoirs of hot water below the earth's surface, as a perfect form of sustainable, renewable green energy with zero emission pollution. It is possible to take guided trails to see the steam emerging naturally from the underground on the rocky outcrops in the area.
