Ideally located, for a peaceful holiday, in a tranquil setting, which is in fact part of an old Royal Park, yet within less than a 15 minute drive from the Walled Mediaeval City of Lucca.
Lucca is famous for its intact walls which fully surround the old city – these vast structures are so wide, there are little parks located on the top, with plenty of places for relaxing, and with vehicles banned, it is the perfect place to rent a bicycle and cycle around admiring the views both inside and out….
The windy streets are full of beautiful architecture, including the famous Ampitheatre, bars, restaurants, regular market and designer shopping.
Closer to home and within 2 kms are shops, supermarket, tennis courts and some restaurants.
Drive time from Pisa is around 40 minutes, The Coast is only 35 minutes away, Florence is accessible in say 45 mins, Pistoia 25 mins and Siena around 90 minutes.
Perfect!
