Sasso Pisano is a beautiful, historical village in the region of Castelnuovo Val di Cecina, in the province of Pisa. In the past this castle and the ancient village have been an important part of Tuscan history, and it sits in a dominant position overlooking the valley. There is a restaurant and bar in the village and there are many village festivals such as the Prugnolo mushroom festival, the Sasserino olive oil festival and the festival of San Bartolomeo. A particular feature of the village is the fabulous bathing and health spa powered by the hot springs of the area which has now been restored to provide a centre for well being with hydromassage and there is even a 'putizza' with jets of hot water and mud treatments. There are also tennis courts and a campers area. (here)
