From the estate it is possible to enjoy a marvellous view over the gentle hills that are alternating between olive trees, vines, green and wood. On the hills nearby, one can still admire the ruins of the antique castle dating back to the 11th century. Later, it became one of the most important fortresses of the Republic of Massa Marittima. Only a few kilometers away there is the lake "Lago dell'Accesa" with Etruscan findings, the medival Fort of Perolla and furthermore the ruins of the historic "Stone Castle" (it. Castello di Pietra).
