We have found the Batzella Winery by chance, but the decision we made to visit this place was really worth it. If you don’t want to visit the big wineries but still enjoy the characters and personality of the Bolgheri wines - this place is for you. I can’t but say only good words about the family and the winery. Mr. Batzella turned up to be a nice and pleasant man who also speaks fluent English which was a good point for us. The tour was beautiful, from the vines to the cellar, to the fermentation tanks and warehouse. We learned how the Bolgheri region originally started to be a wine region, what is the modern trends in the Tuscany winemaking and also the unique story of Mr. Batzella himself. In the end of the excursion we tried some really nice wines, from which we personally liked the Tâm - a really passionate wine that truly accords with its name. Thank you very much once again and wish you only a great success for you, your wife and son in the future! By the way, missing your dog also, she was a funny tip in our trip! Best of luck! Igor & Kristina

We just arrived from our two week vacation and this was one of the highlights of our trip. We were looking forward to it and we were not disappointed. We happened to be the only people on this tour so we had Serena’s undivided attention! She is so down to earth, very informative and made us appreciate Bolgheri and the region’s wines even more. The grounds were immaculate and she was generous with the tastings (I lost count) that was paired with bread and their amazing olive oil. We prefer red over white but both were so good we bought several bottles of both. I researched a while before deciding on Terre del Marchesato and we can’t wait to go back! Thank you Serena!

Cavallino Matto is the amusement park of Tuscany. It’s situated in a landscape context of great natural beauty immersed in the beautiful pinewood of Marina di Castagneto Carducci, It’s at 500 mt. from the coast awarded for twenty years with the Blue Flag of Europe. The park has many and important attractions (over 30) located in an area of 70000 square meters including the colorful little train, the roller coaster for adults and children and the Shocking Tower, 50 mt of pure adrenaline from which you can admire the beautiful Tyrrhenian coast.Moreover, inside the park you can find aquatic rides and big structures for the shows like Cinema 4D Movie Stars Theatre and the Grande Pala Verde which can contains 600 people. The Parks has an important didactic area for (the) schools. The project “Green Park Experience” aims to bring (the) kids to discover the unspoiled nature where the park is located. Through a nature trail a tutor offers the chance to know the flora and fauna typical of the Mediterranean wood. Following the motto “Learning has never been so funny” the students will engage themselves in workshops of environmental education about the value of reusing waste and how transform cans and bottles in colorful and fun characters. The students can also learn a draft road safety education, through a path with road signs on board of mini-cars and with the help of a policeman directing the traffic!

Went with our 3 kids (9,7,4) in November at the end of their season and loved this park! Never have we been to a park where you can hope off a ride, run around and get back on again. They actually had to post signs on the bigger "adrenaline" rides that you can't go on them too frequently! The kids loved the stand up roller coaster (the older kids are tall so it was their first upside down coaster). My husband and I loved the drop tower where you can see over the massive gorgeous canopy of trees to the sea... and then drop 50m ha ha... Good for the whole family. Can't speak for the food as we brought a picnic, but we liked that there weren't a lot of extra costs that would make the kids beg for more stuff. We even liked the shows although we speak no Italian and have no idea what they were saying. The science and dino shows had as laughing regardless. A perfect day out really!
