THE SURROUNDING AREA

A few minutes’ drive from San Vincenzo along the old Strada della Principessa will bring you to unique beauty spots like Baratti and Populonia, once home to the Etruscans, or the wonderful Rimigliano nature reserve, ideal for walks and rambles. Then there is Punta Ala, where the jet-setters muster, not to mention the frequent ferry and hydrofoil sailings to Elba from nearby Piombino.
Other cities not to be missed, such as Pisa, Volterra, Florence and Siena, may be visited easily on day trips.
