Holiday apartment in Chianni: experience trails and landscapes

The CA Circuiti (Cammino ed Avventura) trail network is located in Chianni and leads through gentle hills, lush forests and clear streams. The trails have varying levels of difficulty, ranging from easy walks to challenging trekking routes. These different levels of difficulty allow for a graduated daily itinerary: easy walks and challenging trekking routes can be considered separately within the trail network, while gentle hills, lush forests and clear streams shape the landscape impressions of individual routes in the Chianni trail network in different ways. There is also a parking area at the bridge over the Carbonaia stream for visiting the Cascate del Ghiaccione.

Culture, festivals and medieval sites

The Chiesa di San Donato has medieval origins; the first written records about it date back to 1277. Chianni's historic medieval centre also shapes the cultural character of the town. The Chianni Opera Festival is regarded as a traditional opera event in this historic centre and is associated with opera performances in Piazza del Castello. During a stay, therefore, history and the performing arts take centre stage alongside nature trails.

The Sagra del Cinghiale di Chianni takes place every year and was established in 1976. The festival offers typical game dishes, including pappardelle with wild boar ragù. Another regional speciality is Olio extravergine d’oliva di Chianni. The extra virgin olive oil from Chianni is characterised by its intense colour, low acidity and fruity flavour. Chianni is also located at the end of one of the routes of the Strada del Vino delle Colline Pisane.
