Holiday home Rivalto 3
The holiday home Rivalto 3, built from natural stones, is located on a hillside between the towns of Chianni and Rivalto, both of which can be reached on foot. From up here the view is wonderful and goes far over the Era Valley all the way to Volterra. The holiday home Rivalto 3 is very quietly located on a road with little traffic and offers two spacious holiday apartments, each for 4-5 people. Each apartment in the Rivalto 3 holiday home has its own covered outdoor area as well as an area equipped with garden furniture in the shared fenced garden. In addition to the unique view that you can enjoy from the bedroom windows and the garden, it is the special rural architecture that makes this property so attractive. Both the design of the windows or the arches at the transitions from one room to the other as well as the arrangement of the stairs and terraces convey the flair of bygone times, which at the same time forms a harmonious unity with modern comfort, which of course the guest cannot do without must. Thanks to its two self-contained apartments, the Rivalto 3 holiday home is the ideal holiday destination for two families of friends, as it offers private retreat space on the one hand, but also plenty of space for communal activities on the other. In addition to various shops and an outdoor swimming pool, the small town of Chianni also offers taverns and restaurants and therefore the opportunity to eat out and get to know the typical Tuscan cuisine. The spa town of Casciana Terme, 5 km away, has a thermal bath with an outdoor pool, hydromassage and medical and wellness treatments. Various hiking routes lead around Chianni. Especially in autumn, the forests are an El Dorado for mushroom pickers and fans of chestnuts, and the winegrowers and olive farmers also offer tastings.

In the center of the village you can admire the church of Saints Fabiano and Sebastiano, whose facade still bears the coat of arms of the noble Florentine family of Mazzinghi. Worth mentioning, also in the village, is the oratory of the Compagnia della Santa Croce, whose external appearance dates back to the 16th/17th century. Century has been completely preserved. Inside the oratory is kept the painting of the Sorrowful Mary and S. Giovanni, a work of art from the 17th century.

Donato with her majestic altar made of multicolored marble, the chapel of Santissima Annunziata. Religious worship has shaped the area of Chianni and Rivalto in recent centuries. This can also be seen in the beatification in 1833 of the monk Giordano of Rivalto, orator and theologian, born in Rivalto in 1260.
