This location area is the best place from which to enjoy a stay in Lucca because the centre and the train station are both easily accessible by foot and since it is now almost impossible for anyone except residents to drive a car into the city centre you could leave your car inside the villa's gate and start your visit by walking, travelling in a horse drawn carriage or riding a bicycle around the romantic and massive walls surrounding Lucca enjoying the incredible views over the city.

The Tuscany / Lucca Province region

From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, from extraordinary paintings and sculpture to frescoes and architectural masterpieces.
Visitors to Tuscany come for many reasons. Many come in search of fine art, others to explore the extraordinary countryside. Gourmets and wine buffs descend on Tuscany to enjoy the simple yet wonderful cuisine and wine. Walkers enjoy the mountain paths, cyclists the rolling hills, summer vacationers the sea coast and islands. Students come to learn the beautiful Italian language and culture.
There is a lot to see and do in Tuscany, the more you come to know the region, the more extraordinary Tuscany appears.
Tuscany was the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, and its artistic heritage includes architecture, painting and sculpture, collected in dozens of museums, the best-known of which is the Uffizi and the Bargello in Florence, but also in many other towns and cities in the region.
Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and nature, and often by the combined efforts of both. Think of the vineyards: rows of baby green vines that manage somehow to march in arrow-straight formation up the gently rolling hillsides, bounded by single files of darker green cypress trees, snaking sandy roads leading to rust-coloured farmhouses and moss-coated castles, symmetrically rounded hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one single building. Every inch of land has been sculpted, first by the elements and then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were always twofold: make the land produce as much as possible, make the land as beautiful as possible.

As Lucca is centrally located, this flat is also a wonderful base for a couple wanting to spend a holiday exploring Lucca and other cities in Tuscany such as Florence (70 km), Pisa (20 km), and Siena (110 km). Nearby is also the sea-side region of Versilia, with the famous resorts of Viareggio (20 Km) Torre del Lago - the lake of Giacomo Puccini - (15 km) and Forte dei Marmi (25 km) with its spectacular marble quarries, the Apuan Alps (60 Km) and the wonderful mountainous region of Garfagnana, that includes absolute jewels like the medieval village of Barga (35 Km). - TIRRENIA GOLF CLUB ( 25 Km / 16 Miles )
The Lucca railway station is reachable in a few minutes walking.

The Lucca area

'Lucca – Tuscany’s Jewel City - is a romantic, medieval town rich in the arts.'

It is the capital of the province of the same name in northwestern Tuscany. It is an important city for art and traditional culture, presenting a vital historic centre of extraordinary value, which has conserved, almost intact, the compact urban network of houses, towers, medieval churches, Renaissance palaces and 19th-century piazzas. Lucca is one of the few towns which has maintained intact its superb 16 C City Walls which protectingly encircle it, a charming place to stroll among the trees and grassy banksancient town walls intact.
Lucca City of a thousand faces and of an intriguing and discreet charm which is there to be discovered and increasingly appreciated as one gets to know the city better
Lucca city of great artists, of immortal composers such as Boccherini, Catalani and Puccini
Lucca with its is shop windows which testify the flourishing continuity of mercantile business dating from past centuries and never forgotten; with the streets of its town centre where the traditions are renewed every day offering a variety of wines,gastronomic, handmade and local products, with its Antiques Market, one of the most important and oldest in Tuscany the 3rd weekend of each month.
Lucca with its monuments, squares, fountains, museums;with its tranquil medieval town centre in great part pedestrian, with its theatre, the Teatro del Giglio and its esteemed seasons of opera, prose, orchestral music and dance; with its important cultural events such as the Comics Revue and the Summer Festival, the traditional ones such as the Procession of Santa Croce during the city's September festivities, or the Flower Market dedicated to S, Zita in April; win the sure knowledge that you can walk through the city at any time in complete safety.
Lucca is a city which offers the tourist attractions of historic interest and natural beauty, with one of the oldest botanical gardens and which is also the ideal place to stop and stay for a few days to get to know it better and to give one the chance to see how easy it is to get to, by train, road or motorway, the other cities of historical fame, the Versilia Riviera or the pleasant resorts of the Mediavalle and the Garfagnana
It’s impossible to describe Lucca and its beautiful surroundings in a few words.It would be nice to start your visit by walking , travelling in a horse drawn carriage or riding a bicycle on the powerful romantic walls (3 miles long, twelve metres high and thirty wide) enjoying the incredible view of the town rich in churches precious as jewels and brimming with ancient towers and buildings. Strolling along the shady downtown streets, one can breathe the true atmosphere of Lucca and enjoy the reserved but courteous character of the Lucchese. In the narrow streets, lined with ancient shops and artisans’ studios, the daily life of the city is palpable, hard working and lively.
