Areas Servd: Monte Amiata. Mount Amiata, an ancient and mysterious volcano, was the holly mountain of the Etruscans. It was rich and glorious between the VIII th and XII th centuries, thanks the power of the Abbey of San Salvatore, built to control the Via Francigena. All the villages were built during the Middle Age, and they are today as well conserved as in the past. Probably, we see all around us the same landscape and the same buildings that a medieval countryman could admire in the year 1000.
In the land it’s possible to admire a great variety of plants and landscape: under the 1000 mt of height, the beeches all around the peak of the mountain create a green crown and gives to the mountain its look of gigantic cone, the real lung of Tuscany; going down, the chestnut trees, source of food for centuries and centuries, that are still today precious for the gifts they offer to those fond of chic gastronomically products. Finally, the historic “borghi”, all around the cone at the height of 600-800 mt, grew up where the springs of water gushed out.
At a lower level, the hills of Val D’Orcia and Maremma: the realm of olive trees and of the vineyards of Montecucco, Montalcino, Scansano and Montepulciano.
The reason why our guests visit this land are various: nature, the paths for hiking, those for the mountain bike, the parks, the naturalistic areas, the plants, the flowers (the marvellous spontaneous orchids, for instance), the animals.
The spas, the medieval villages, the churches, the museums and the castles are all of extraordinary interest.
But the queen of the land is surely the cuisine. Very rich and motley, it is a traditional one, but rediscovered and reinvented in the last few years, thanks to the care and passion used in making the most refined and exquisite products of the land: extravergin olive oil, chestnuts, mushrooms, truffles, wines. It’s possible to taste them in the territory’s feasts of the food: the “sagre”. |
