Villas in Terricciola

About Terricciola

Terricciola is an old village in the Valdera with Etruscan roots, and it calls itself a City of Wine. Vines run over the slopes in every direction. The highest point of the village holds the Church of San Donato, with mid-19th-century neoclassical interiors, and the streets below are narrow and winding. The homes are grouped together in the countryside near the village rather than in the centre. The hamlets of Soiana, Morrona and Pitti are scattered around, and on the road towards Chianni stands the Sanctuary of Madonna di Monterosso. Expect quiet evenings: dinner, a bottle of local Vin Santo, then early nights.
