The Centre is situated on the walls of the fortified medieval village of Casole d’Elsa. The amenities of the village, one minutes walk through medieval streets, are perhaps our greatest asset. Many bars and restaurants, a summer swimming pool, a palio (horse race 2nd Sunday in July) local dances and fiestas allow our visitors to truly savour traditional Italian life. Beyond the walls there are panoramic views in every direction (San Gimingano, Volterra and Monteriggione are visible in the distance). The museum and churches here contain some top quality art works.
