Challenging ascent in the final part, arriving at the Le Panche pass and then falsopiano until below the Volterraio castle (spectacular view from the castle).
The road surface is good and there is little traffic after leaving Rio Marina.
Perhaps avoid going there in August, as it is too hot and busy.
Absence of water fountains.
There are no refreshment facilities on arrival.
