TO DO

Location and distances


Villa Silvia is located in Terricciola, in the immediate vicinity of Peccioli, in the centre of the Val d'Era, a rural area of Tuscany that goes from Pontedera to Volterra and which takes its name from the Era river which flows at the foot of the hills. In this area of authentic Tuscany, are many beautiful borghi that make up the Alta Val d'Era Park Union such as Peccioli, Palaia, Chianni, Lajatico and Terricciola, which have all remained unchanged in their structure, each with its own peculiarities that are worth discovering. The liveliest centre is Peccioli, defined as an open-air museum for the various artistic forms in the streets and squares, a town with all services and a wide cultural offering, thanks to the four museums located there and the amphitheatre which, in the month of July, proposes various theatre performances and concerts. Around Peccioli are several small hamlets, including Ghizzano, which has become famous in recent years for its colourful Via di Mezzo, where you can admire a row of terraced houses with multicoloured façades. Not forgetting Lajatico, birthplace of the famous tenor Andrea Bocelli, where every year, in July, he holds his concert in the Teatro del Silenzio. The strong point of this area is undoubtedly the food and wine, ranging from Chianti DOCG wine to extra virgin olive oil, truffles, cheeses and cured meats, all produced by local farms that offer the possibility of visits and tastings. Precisely because of the importance of food and wine, guests will find many events linked to the traditions and typical local products of the land marked by the rhythm of the seasons. Furthermore, Villa Silvia is strategically located for visiting some of the most famous towns in Tuscany, such as Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, as well as Pisa, just a few kilometres away.
