The history of Castelfalfi dates back to the Middle Ages, and today it represents a perfect combination of history, nature and modern comfort.

San Miniato, city of good cuisine and white truffles, looks from a hill over the plain through which the Arno flows. The monumental palaces prove its grandeur, but all its charm lies in two esplanades formed by the unexpected Prato del Duomo and the square in front of the castle of Emperor Frederick II. The name San Miniato was previously followed by 'al Tedesco' (from the German.), because the city was the Tuscan residence of the German emperors from the 10th century.

Palaia is an ancient agricultural center of Etruscan origins, known for its historic churches and agricultural traditions. Some notable landmarks are the parish church of San Martino and the church of Sant'Andrea. Surrounding areas such as Montefoscoli and San Gervasio are home to museums displaying vintage agricultural tools and tractors. Palaia is a starting point for scenic excursions to picturesque villages such as Colleoli, Villa Saletta and Toiano. Palaia is also known for the white truffle harvest.

Forcoli is a fraction of the Italian municipality of Palaia, in the province of Pisa, whose name derives from the old "Forcole" in turn derived from Castrum Forcolae. A stop in this place from times gone by is a must.
