Guide to Pomarance

"A refreshingly rural spot where life runs at a slower pace, Pomarance offers a unique escape to the country."

To recharge yourself, you could not do better than visit the peaceful town of Pomarance. Breakfast in bed, between cool linen bed sheets, before stepping outside into the bright sunshine and making your way down to a glittering swimming pool. Or practice your backhand on the tennis court. After re-energising your body, why not visit the church of San Giovanni Battista with its lovely frescoes and the Palazzo Pretorio in Pomarance? The serene atmosphere will leave your spirit feeling revitalised. As you are near the sea, why not hire a car and cruise along the coast road? Starting in Livorno, stop by at Cecina for lunch and finish your route in San Vicenzo. Warm up those calf and thigh muscles with a long walk in the mineral-rich hills of the Cecina valley, dotted with historic, hill-top towns and verdant woodlands. Breathe in the refreshing scent of the pines and chestnuts and feel relaxed again. If you want to pick up some decorative art – perhaps a statuette or an amphora vase – then visit Volterra. Famous for the alabaster that is quarried locally, there are more than two hundred workshops where you can watch craftspeople work their magic on the smooth white stone. After exploring the ancient treasures of the town, as the sun dips over the wooded hills, return to the rustic tranquillity of Pomarance. And enjoy dinner sitting round a wooden kitchen table with lively, friendly hospitality, enjoy some pappardelle alla lepra, pasta with hare sauce or wild boar sausage, served with loving care by your hospitable trattoria owner.
