Montescudaio, a small village upcountry, is only 12 km away from the sea. Thanks to its strategic location, it was an important place in the Middle Ages, and in the Renaissance it was an important castle. Even today, you can enjoy a breathtaking panorama right from the Church Square. On serene days, the view reaches the plain of the river Cecina, the blue Tyrrhenian Sea with its islands Capraia, Gorgona and Elba. The geographical location and the natural environment favour a hill/ seaside tourism. Large woods offer a refreshing oasis in the summer. Montescudaio has become well known in Europe also thanks to its DOC wine. In automn, a wine festival takes place on the castle square. There are also in the summer numerous popular festivals and cultural events. After a quiet walk on the alleys, through gates and arches, you can enjoy a Cappuccino in the typical restaurants on the small “piazza”.
