For those wishing to visit the less famous but equally charming and interesting locations near our "borgo" we suggest you to explore the following spots:
Montecatini Val di Cecina In this medieval little town you can admire the high tower (XII century), the Palazzo Pretorio, the Belforti Tower and the Romanesque-gothic church of S. Biagio.
