Less than two kilometers away from the agricultural tourist spot you can find the hills of the Montalbano and the wet area called “ The Fucecchio Marsh” in which you can choose to go on easy and relaxing bicycle rides or more demanding excursions with mountain bikes.
Trekking in the hills has been made easy by two recent publications: “Wildlife and excursion map of the protected area of Montalbano”, and that of the marsh “Nature and wildlife footpaths map of the Fucecchio Marsh”.
The agricultural tourist spot is part of an association called the “Strada dell’olio e del vino del Montalbano, le colline di Leonardo” which indicates the major and most characteristic places in the area like farms and wine cellars, bringing out the tourist resources of the Montalbano and showing the most typical pathways of the area. This offers tourists the possibility of tasting typical Tuscan products.
The “Podere Galilea” agricultural tourist spot is the ideal place for anyone who wants to undergo the thermal treatment in Montecatini or Monsummano, adding the tranquillity of the countryside to the effects of thermal relaxation. The Grotta Giusti, in particular, is five minutes away and proposes thermal treatment in caves, a wide use of the thermal swimming-pool outdoors, and muds and aesthetic treatments.
A short distance away, reachable either by bicycle or on foot, there is an 18-hole golf course which stretches amid the surrounding winding hills to the remains of the villa romana of San Lorenzo (Montecatini Golf).
For those who like wing shooting, ten kilometres away, they can find the Sporting Club at Montecatini. Furthermore, one can take part in the wine harvest and the collection of olives in the farm and to taste digestive liquors made from aromatic herbs.
