• Castelnuovo in Val di Cecina

Monna is an ancient Tuscan farmhouse sitting in a completely unspoilt valley on the river Cecina. The property is on an active farming estate producing mainly corn.

The highlights of Monna are undoubtedly the most charming 15x8 mt swimming pool, great breeze throughout the summer and very welcoming live-in hosts which make it a perfect base for a truly relaxing holiday in the land where the lemon tree blooms.

At the same time, being Monna less than an hour away from Siena, Pisa and the wonderful Thyrrenean coast, Monna is a good base for exploring the 3 provinces.

Monna offers its guests 2 independent apartments, a large open air BBQ and wood oven area for your parties and a playground for your children.
The house is indeed particularly indicated for families with children and extended family reunions.

The area offers wonderful walks through centenary chestnut groves towards the Appennines, where you can enjoy stunning views of the Cornia Valley, The Tyrrenian sea with the Isle of Elba and on a clear day even Corsica.

Other walks take you through the valle del Pavone in deep woods and moving towards Sasso Pisano you can take a fascinating walk along the fumaroles and sulphureous exhalations characterizing the area.

The land around Castelnuovo is very rich in thermal baths and springs, making it an ideal destination also in Autumn and winter. Petriolo and Galleraia are but a few.
