B&B in Sassetta, Tuscany



A relaxing Sunday afternoon can start by a warm fireplace with a good healthy lunch in the hills of Tuscany. 
Our did.... We found the information about this organic heaven by chance in a small health food store in Castagneto Carducci. Looked it up and was positively surprised and had a lovely Sunday. 


The Bed & Breakfast or Spa is called La Cerreta and is up in the hills of a small town called Sassetta. Between Bolghari and Castagneto Carducci.  One can renew oneself in their natural spring with sulphate water.  They serve Bio dynamically grown food in their restaurant. We had a delicious meal with vegetables and a plate of Agnelotti pasta with artichokes and cottage cheese. They serve mostly meat for seconds , so we skipped it and enjoyed a plate of cheese and a very nice organic Sangiovese red wine. The sourdough bread, baked from an ancient grain in a firewood oven was excellent.


Food for eyes is to see the first flowers bloom on the hills.


The back side of the restaurant. Should be even lovelier on a sunny day.


The woods are mainly Oaks and Cork-Oaks. A very silent and peaceful atmosphere.

Happily relaxed after a few days in the Tuscan hills,
