Caldana is a medieval Tuscan village with about 1000 inhabitants which stands on a hill 300 metres above sea level. It looks onto the Etruscan city of Vetulonia and was the setting for the German TV series ‘ein Haus in der Toskana’. Here you will find dreamy alleyways, music festivals in the summer and the autumn, local Tuscan cuisine in the Giardino, bars, restaurants, banks, grocer’s stores, Pepe the baker’s, gelaterias and friendly, open people. Le Chiuse borders on Caldana, which we visit from time to time when we want to go for a stroll. The surrounding area offers interesting excursions: the mining museum at Gavorrano, 10 minutes; the excavations at the site of the Etruscan city of Vetulonia; the nature park at Maremma, 30 minutes; the Monte Argentario peninsula; the thermal baths at Saturnia, 60 minutes, and the Parco de Tarocci Niki de Sant Phalle. Impeccable beaches at Castiglione della Pescaia – Punta Ala. Excursions to the Island of Elba.
