Podere Santa Rita

Traditional cooking and gardening classes are held on-site. Theme gastronomic events are also organized during the year, especially starting in the beginning of spring and lasting until the beginning of autumn, taking place outdoors along with various types of artistic events which animate the adjoining gardens framed by oak trees.

The farm's favorable position offers its guests a wide selection of activities and places to choose from: in fact, it is near some of the most renowned swimming areas of the Etruscan Coast (San Vincenzo, Vada, Castagneto, Bibbona, Cecina, Baratti, Castiglioncello,  Quercianella, Calafuria), where the sea is framed by long beaches lined with shadowy pine forests.

It is also possible to discover local nature which holds botanical preserves, animal refuges, woods and thick pine forests: including the Punta Falcone, Sterpaia, Rimigliano, Montioni, Poggio Neri and Colline Livornesi Natural Parks and the Bolgheri, Orti-Bottagone and Magona protected reserves.

The countryside crossed by the prestigious Wine Road is dotted with noble vineyards and olive groves: there are wine cellars, villages and towns, castles and characteristic restaurants along the road where traditional local products can be tasted in a unique historical context.

Etruscan civilization left important remains among which are the necropolis built by the sea (Baratti-Populonia), easily reached in a short amount of time.

Montescudaio is also an excellent starting point for interesting excursions to cities of art throughout Tuscany, to Pisa (45 km), Volterra (35 km), San Gimignano (55 km), Siena, Florence, Arezzo and Lucca. 

The area offers numerous possibilities for amusement in contact with nature or taking advantage of the proximity of the sea: fishing, underwater excursions and general aquatic sports (sailing, surfing, windsurfing) that can be done alone or at specialized centers; walks, hiking trails, bicycle rides and horseback riding excursions offer the possibility of enjoying the beauty of nature, surrounding oneself in the tranquility of the Mediterranean scrub.
