Journeys
around Vitalonga
BREATHE CONSCIOUSLY
The “Regenerate your Energy” courses surround and cross Vitalonga vineyards, in a very suggestive natural contest, where perfumes and colours emerge from silence. The “Regenerate your Energy” experience derives from some ancient Oriental meditation techniques: to walk and breathe consciously. A way to live nature and inner well-being.
SALUS PER AQUAM
First the Etrurians, then the Romans, up to the feudal nobility of Middle Ages and Renaissance. The richness of the thermal waters San Casciano dei Bagni is well known since ancient times. Its 42 hot springs dip in the uncontaminated nature and in the suggestive landscape around, creating a pleasant place, destination of countryside lovers. San Casciano dei Bagni is situated at the limits of the province of Siena, few minutes away from Vitalonga. Not far from the thermal complex, on the hill overlooking the valley of Paglia river and facing Mount Amiata, there is the enchanting hamlet of Celle sul Rigo. Here marvellous landscapes open, that were places of light-heartedness for the poet Giosuè Carducci, during the years that he spent here together with his family.
NATURE AS A WORK OF ART – Villa Cahen
In the marvellous gardens of Villa Cahen you can find various and rare arboreal and herbaceous species, coming from very far places, too. Plays of light and shadows reflect on its snow-white walls, to which the shutters and the overhangs modulations add colour notes. A very important detail of the villa is the garden, in which nature and art identify, a place in which living and contemplating are a unique thing. A nature that is modelled as a work of art in the arrangement of trees and plants, flowers and lawns, where colours, lights and bird song offer, to who wants to live the garden living in it, a complete harmony for the contemplation.
PURE NATURE – Mount Rufeno Reserve
The Nature Reserve of Mount Rufeno is situated in Latium, at the border with Umbria and Tuscany. It protects extended woods, in a hilly landscape crossed by the Paglia river. There is a predominance of oaks, in addition to maquis and reforestations of coniferous and it hosts a very rich wildlife with lots of rare species.
