Agriturismo "La Ghiraia"

25/04/2025

Let’s take a little journey through modern Italian traditions – those habits that might not be written in history books, but are deeply rooted in the hearts (and stomachs!) of Italians.

April 25th is Liberation Day, a national holiday remembering the end of Nazi-fascism in 1945.
A meaningful date, yes… but like every Italian celebration—be it religious or political—it’s mostly honored at the table!

In spring (Easter Monday, April 25th, May 1st), it means one thing: BBQs.
No historical reason, just sunshine, warm air, and a good excuse to eat outdoors with friends and family.

🔥 At La Ghiraia, you’ll find a cozy barbecue area waiting for you—perfect for enjoying this tradition all season long!

4 Tuscan ghost towns you absolutely must visit

Embark on a journey off the beaten path and discover the mysterious charm of Tuscany’s forgotten villages. These abandoned ghost towns whisper stories of bygone eras and offer a unique glimpse into Italy’s rich history, perfect for the intrepid traveler.

Buriano
Located in Montecatini Val di Cecina (province of Pisa), Buriano lies silent today, yet its future promises transformation. Acquired by a Swiss group, plans are underway to turn this abandoned village into an exclusive resort with 120 beds. Imagine the revival of life in this magical corner!

Toiano
Nestled between Palaia and Volterra, Toiano is a medieval gem filled with enigmatic ruins. Explore the remnants of its castle and drawbridge, and admire its deconsecrated 11th-century church. Recognized by FAI as a “place dear to the heart,” Toiano exudes mystery and timeless allure.

Villa Saletta
Just a short drive from Toiano, Villa Saletta offers breathtaking views over the Valdera. Although it remains uninhabited most of the year, it springs to life in summer during the Festival of Popular Theater, where local Tuscan artists perform in this enchanting setting. (pic by )

Fabbriche di Careggine
Hidden beneath the waters of Lake Vagli in the province of Lucca, Fabbriche di Careggine is a truly unique ghost town. Abandoned in 1947, it occasionally resurfaces when the lake is drained, revealing ancient stone houses, a historic three-arched bridge, and the evocative Romanesque Church of San Teodoro—a hidden treasure preserved by nature.
