Known as the "Borgo delle Camelie" (Village of Camellias), Sant'Andrea di Compito is a charming hillside jewel characterized by ancient stone towers, historic courtyards, and springs of purest water. Thanks to an exceptional microclimate, the village hosts the splendid Camellietum Compitese, a botanical garden of excellence that gathers hundreds of centuries-old camellia varieties from all over the world.

The ascent to San Andrea from the via di Tiglio is very beautiful. Along a stream. There are two fountains along the way where you can fill up with water. The beautiful descent to Massa Maccinaia is worth the climb, which is quite moderate. Once you're at the bottom, you can decide to climb a few more meters to San Ginese or you can ride without any climbs towards Lucca or Bientina. Very beautiful route.

Small village, famous for its Camellias... from here you can go down towards Massa Macinaia and then Guamo through what is reported as a variant of the Via Francigena...
