Visit of the village horseriding
Arriving on horseback at the castle along the countryside lane lined with vineyards and olive groves will make you feel like a medieval pilgrim.
Meet Andrea, known as the “man of horses”, always at the riding school training young horse riders or accompanying travelers on tour to discover the area, and his family who, together with his wife Lara, run the Agriturismo and restaurant located in a natural oasis.
At Castel del piano you will be welcomed by Andrea and Sabina, couple of “foresti” (foreigners) as the local people usually refer to those who are not originally from Lunigiana. They bought this small castle, restored it and made it energetically self-sufficient. Here, they produce excellent wines blending vintage grapes with ancient local varieties.
Travelling on horseback along ancient mule paths, silent woods and historic bridges gives you the opportunity to explore the area from a privileged perspective you couldn’t enjoy if you were driving.
