Pisan Hills – Tuscany: undulating landscapes, stone villages and Tuscan taste between Pisa and Valdera. The Pisan Hills extend south-east of Pisa, between the Era river, the Valdera and the first hills overlooking the sea. It is a sweet and silent Tuscany, made up of white roads, stone farmhouses, vineyards and olive groves. Ideal for those looking for slow, authentic tourism off the beaten track, but close to cities of art and beaches. 🏘️ Villages of stone and discreet beauty: From Lari with its castle and cherries, to Chianni, Casciana Terme, Palaia and Peccioli, each village tells a story made up of countryside, craftsmanship and traditions. The paved squares, loggias, shops and local festivals offer an immersion in the most genuine Tuscany. 👉 Tip: Visit the village of Peccioli, famous for its murals, art installations and the well-kept historic center. 🚶 Among hills, vineyards and hot springs: The landscape invites you to walk or cycle through golden fields, neat vineyards and small forests. Many paths connect the villages and offer sweeping views all the way to the sea. The presence of the thermal baths – as in Casciana Terme – adds a touch of well-being to the discovery of the area. 👉 Tip: After a walk between Chianni and Rivalto, treat yourself to a relaxing thermal bath in the center of Casciana. 🍷 Wine, oil and country flavors: The Pisan Hills are a land of wine and extra virgin olive oil. Here is produced the Chianti delle Colline Pisane DOCG, an elegant and fragrant red, and excellent Tuscan IGTs. The products of the land – cured meats, cheeses, honey, vegetables – enrich a rustic and tasty cuisine. 👉 Tip: Stop at a farmhouse or wine shop between Terricciola and Lajatico for a tasting overlooking the rows. 🎭 Art, nature and small events: Among the villages of the Pisan Hills there are contemporary art installations, theater festivals, open-air concerts and festivals related to typical products. In Lajatico, the Teatro del Silenzio – commissioned by Andrea Bocelli – hosts unique events immersed in the landscape every year. 👉 Tip: If you travel in summer, look for the events on the calendar at the Teatro del Silenzio: music and nature in perfect harmony. 🛏️ Where to stay: The Pisan Hills offer authentic and relaxing hospitality: farmhouses with swimming pools, B&Bs among the vineyards, panoramic farmhouses and eco-friendly facilities. Many offer experiences such as tastings, yoga in the vineyard, bike tours or Tuscan cooking classes. 👉 Tip: Choose a site near Palaia or Lari to have nature, culture and great food always at your fingertips. In the Pisan Hills, Tuscany is more intimate and relaxed: among vineyards, villages and sincere flavors, every day is an invitation to slow beauty.
