The valley, surrounded by picturesque hills, is an ideal place for trekking, horse riding and bike riding along the roads and the paths flanked by hundred-years-old cypresses and pine trees, admiring the typical landscape of Tuscan hills covered in olive groves, vineyards and woods alternating with cultivated land.
Gusts can also practice other sports, such as fishing, golf- thanks to the training course situated near the house - tennis, five-a-side football and bowls thanks to the multi-sporting facilities with children’s playground situated at 100 m. from the house.
