The center of  Tuscany - Florence, Pisa, Volterra, Valdera and around La Sorgente

The Valdera territory has always been in the centre of the territories under the heel of Florence, Pisa and Volterra and always sought after these cities.

This territory, luxuriant and rich of water (here flow together four rivers: the Era, The Cascina, the Roglio and the Arno).

The Valdera area has been occupied from the Etruscan period (VIII – III C b.C.) that leaves in Valdera and many vestiges of tis presence are still visible.

But it is the Medieval period that leaves in Valdera the most revealing traks of an important past, it is easy to find in Valdera majestic fortresses, sever Romanesque parish churches, rich castles.
Valdera is a territory rich of vegetation, where people loving nature can find interesting field trips, horse or bicycle itineraries, all in the typical Tuscan landscape with rows of cypresses and panoramic paths that wound up the vineyard in an harmonious landscape.

Culture in Valdera is important too: small museums are a fact that continually increases and several are the dates of theatre representations and concerts.
