Holiday in Castagneto Carducci

If you are planning your holiday in Castagneto Carducci, here are some suggestions for an unforgettable holiday:

Visit the long row of 2540 century-old cypress trees that connect the Oratory of San Guido to the historic centre of the village of Bolgheri, reaching as far as the fairy-tale red brick castle of Bolgheri.

For wine lovers, visit the Via Bolgherese, also known as ‘the wine road’, with vineyards interspersed with olive groves, restored farmhouses and estates where you can sleep and do tastings.

High on a hill you will find Castagneto Carducci with its beautiful Castle of the Conti della Gherardesca around which the village was built. From Piazzale Belvedere it is then possible to enjoy a breathtaking view of the sea, glimpsing, on clear days, even the islands of the Tuscan archipelago.

Important wineries produce their wines in the area: Antinori, Mario Incisa della Rocchetta and the Consorzio Bolgheri Doc. At the Tenuta di Guado al Tasso, on the Via Bolognese, you can taste the fine wines of Bolgheri accompanied by Cinta Senese cured meats.

It is also possible to buy organic chillies at the Peperita farm in Bibbona.
