Vivi i borghi e le colline toscane

The area sits in the hills between the Val di Cecina and the Tyrrhenian coast. The nearest coast is the Etruscan Coast around Cecina and Bibbona, about 12 km away, with pinewoods and long sandy beaches. Riparbella is part of the Montescudaio wine area in the inland hills, with olive groves, vineyards and Mediterranean woodland. Cecina is the nearest larger town, with rail services, supermarkets and the usual coastal-town services. Volterra, on its hill above the Cecina valley, is within the wider inland area and is known for its Etruscan remains and alabaster work. This part of the province is known for wine, olive oil and mixed coastal-hill countryside.
