In the part behind the house, following the natural conformation of the terrain, at a higher level with respect to the garden, is a wooded area with holm oaks. The elegant hedge that starts from the boundary wall at the entrance delimits the various areas: the pool area, the parking area and the path leading to the villa. The handy parking area is located at the entrance to the property, just past the gate. In the hedge that delimits it is a gap leading to the villa entrance which can also be reached from the pedestrian gate along a terracotta path with steps and bordered by herbs.

Location and Distances

Villa Nikka is located a short distance from the borgo of Riparbella, in Val di Cecina, with its small historic medieval centre around the castle which dates back to the year 1000 and was built by the Counts della Gherardesca. The numerous woods in the surroundings are perfect for walks or bike rides, as well as excursions on horseback, along nature trails such as that of the Giardino degli Scornabecchi. The area is devoted to the production of wine, thanks to the sea breeze, favourable exposure and the soil mainly made up of sand, fossils and minerals rich in iron which permits the obtainment of structured wines. In fact, close by are many excellent wineries of international level. The most important locality in terms of size and services is Cecina, just a short distance away, where you will find a wide range of services, public transport, all kinds of shops and many restaurants. Past the town centre and crossing the tree-lined avenue that leads to the sea, is Marina di Cecina with mainly sandy beaches, with facilities suitable for families and for those looking for a place to just relax. To the south is the Tombolo Biogenetic Reserve, a lush pine forest of over 15 km. Protected and administered by the State Forestry Corps, it has dense vegetation and is inhabited by numerous animals such as rabbits, foxes, porcupines, roe deer and badgers. Furthermore, in Marina di Cecina can be found riding stables, clay pigeon shooting and the Acqua Park, an amusement park for adults and children with numerous slides and swimming pools. Equidistant between Cecina and Riparbella is the Giardino Sospeso (Suspended Garden), an adventure park with various treetop trails with varying degrees of difficulty.
