Quadrilocale in Via della Rocca

This is the hilly Valdera countryside between the lower Arno plain and the first inland Tuscan ridges, with mixed farmland, olive groves, woods and scattered hamlets. The Era valley lies in this area, and the Arno corridor is just to the north. San Miniato is the nearest town of size in daily use, with a substantial historic centre on a hill above the Arno, and Pontedera is nearby for services and rail connections. The area is known for wine, olive oil and truffles, especially around the San Miniato hills.
