Immortalized in the
verses of Giosuč
Carducci's poem
Davanti a San Guido:
"I cipressi che a Bolgheri
alti e schietti van da San
Guido in duplice filar.",
this ancient village
emanates a unique
charm.
A short distance from
the sea, surrounded by
countryside rich with
vineyards and olive trees,
the village with its
harmonious architecture
is entered through
a red brick castle, and
is characterized by
paved alleys and ancient
stone palazzos adorned
with geraniums.
Golden sunsets and
flights of swallows
animate the skies.
Craft shops, wine shops,
trattorias and well-known
restaurants offer local
products and the
traditional cuisine of this
area, accompanied
by splendid Bolgheri
DOC wines.
The churches, the poet
Giosuč Carducci's
childhood home and the
San Guido oratory are
fascinating places of
interest.
Numerous agritourisms
and horse-breeding
farms can be found in
the surrounding
countryside, crossed by
lovely roads such as
the Bolgheri avenue
and the Via Bolgherese,
an ideal destination for
walks, cycling and horse
riding.
