The farmhouse Podere Palazzone "Toscana on horseback"
is located in the countryside at the border of the Berignone Forest,
the biggest Natural Reserve of Tuscany, distancing 1 km from the
centre of the medieval village of Pomarance, Province Pisa, Italy.
Here you enjoy a spectacular view of the classical Tuscan hills of
Upper Cecina Valley and the ancient Etruscan town of Volterra,
famous today also for being the scenery of the bestseller
"Twilight". On the horizon appears the sea and the often snowed up Alpi
Apuane. At one hour drive there is the low-cost airport of Pisa,
well served by Ryanair.
The great thing about Pomarance is its very central location within
Tuscany. From this natural paradise one hour is needed to reach all those things that make Tuscany
one of the preferred European holiday
destinations: The cities of art of Florence, Siena and San Gimignano, the Etruscan sites of Populonia and Vetulonia, the sea
and the Elba Island. We are surrounded by enchanting medieval towns,
famous vine streets, thermal baths, cathedrals, castles and lots of
attractions for teenagers and children.

We are proudly part of the district "nobil contrada del MARZOCCO" represented by
the lion, symbol of the dominance by the Florentines until 1472.
Still today, from the bottom of the ancient civic tower, he keeps an eye on
us. Each September the four districts of Pomarance fight for the
Palio delle Contrade
and the whole town turns into a medieval marketplace.
The farmhouse Podere Palazzone and its horse riding stud is located in plain
countryside at 1 km from the old centre of Pomarance.
You reach it by the road S.S.439 after the roundabout of Pomarance direction
Massa Marittima / Larderello. After 500 m there is a gas station on the
right hand side. Take the first street on the left after another 200 m, Via del Palagetto,
following the signs "Trekking
Maneggio". Turn again left after 100 m. At the end of the cypress alley
you reach a huge secular oak, which marks the entry of the stud Podere
Palazzone. Welcome!
