Trips and tours:
Rivalto is situated in the Park of the High Era Valley, southeast of Pisa close to Volterra and next to the Province of Florence and Siena. This territory grants various tourist itineraries. You can visit Romanic churches, small medieval villages, fortresses, castles, villas and old landlord’s palaces. The Thermal Spa of Casciana at 7 km away represents one of the major attractions of the region, with water springs at 36° C, a place for healing and fitness, with inside and outside swimming-pools. Seaside places are also easy to reach, like Vada and Cecina at around 30 Km southwest of Rivalto, about 50 minutes by car. The landscape is changeable, and it is nice to walk in the peaceful and unpolluted neighbourhood. If you like practicing sport activities in contact with nature, there are several paths through the Era Valley to take by foot, mountain bike. On the 2nd and 3rd weekend of October a great chestnut festival takes place in Rivalto. In Chianni in November a wild boar festival.
New Year's Eve in Tuscany:
What does the word “Tuscany” convey to you? Don’t you think of the flavour of its towns, like open-air museums? Have you already been impressed by the fascination of their history, arts, and landscape?
The famous towns of Pisa, Florence, Lucca, Siena must be visited but the countryside especially its hills with vineyards, cypresses and pines will surprise you! If you get to the countryside, don’t forget to taste the local wines and cooking. That’s really worthwhile.During the first winter days it would be great fun to spend some time at the spa of Casciana Terme quite close to Rivalto, to relax oneself.
Distances from Rivalto to: Casciana Terme 4 km, Pisa 45 km, Lucca 50 km, Florence 74 km and Siena 80 km.
The Apartments:
The apartments of this facility have been obtained by a careful work of restoration, which has improved the historical details of ancient Tuscan architecture and has introduced new elements for a question of modern comfort and efficiency. Today each apartment has an originality of its own. The furniture is in harmony with the style of the palace. The old and the new are well-combined together. The furnishings in the living-rooms are partly original. Very traditionally, the old tables are made of wood, the chair are straw-bottomed; whilst the sofas are comfortable and new, the colour TV’s are new, the kitchens are very efficient with gas rings and dispose of big fridges with freezers. The bedrooms have beds of wrought iron, with new solid and comfortable nets and mattresses; whilst the big and small wardrobes have been carefully bought in the antique markets scattered all over Tuscany. The bathrooms are completely new, and modern designed; some of them are also fit for those.
