Sassetta

Characteristic village perched on a rocky ridge surrounded by greenery. Its unique location allows a pleasant stay, where the fresh air of the hill is softened by the proximity of the sea. Numerous and well-equipped accommodation, especially in the countryside, offer hospitality for a relaxing climate

 

The territory of Sassetta is a rare beauty and never predictable, the woods surrounding the medieval village, comprised mainly of chestnut and oak, are full of charm and mystery, a singular fascination linked to the quality of this area beautiful and at the same time rough and uneven terrain. This is perhaps the aspect that best characterizes Sassetta and its surroundings, a wild beauty almost primitive. The town is located on spurs of red marble retains traces of centuries of history. Many were the powerful who took turns to exercise the power of Sassetta, the oldest of which were the Corn family of Pisa Orlandi who dominated in these places for about four centuries. In 1405 Sassetta followed the fate of many castles close to her, in fact, passed under the power of Florence when the family of the Gherardesca, which in those years exercised rights to the castle, he accepted the act of submission to the Florentine Republic. The old town, dominated by the castle, is formed from a continuous web of narrow streets and alleys at the end of which often give wonderful views that give a strong feeling of serenity and peace, and that make Sassetta the ideal place to find a natural dimension that more and more we risk losing
