The Valdicecina, Tuscany
A landscape that seems painted rather than real
The road that leads to Casa Brunelli winds through a landscape that seems painted rather than real: cypress trees marking the ridgelines like brushstrokes, olive groves silver-grey in the morning light, and the ancient hilltop silhouette of Volterra visible on the horizon, ten minutes away. You are in the Valdicecina — the valley of the Cecina River.
This is the Tuscany that exists beyond the tourist routes: a working valley of olive harvests in October, truffle hunters in November, and skies that turn every shade of gold in the hour before sunset.

Explore the region
Everything and nothing — that’s the Tuscan way
From Casa Brunelli, you can fill every day with intention or empty all of them. Volterra is ten minutes away — Etruscan museum, alabaster workshops, medieval piazza, Roman theatre open to the summer sky. Florence and Siena are under 90 minutes. Free natural hot springs in the Tuscan hills, white truffle hunting in November, private wine tastings at estates that produce Italy’s greatest bottles, cooking classes in a Tuscan farmhouse kitchen — it’s all within easy reach.
Or you can choose the pool, a cold glass of Vernaccia, and the panorama of Volterra across the valley. Call that a perfect day. Tuscany never disappoints either way.
