The Tuscany 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 difficulty is really where to start. Certainly most should start with Florence, then continue on to Siena and Pisa. The roll call of cittą di arte, cities of art, is daunting: Arezzo, Cortona, San Gimignano and Lucca are all striking. 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
Lucca area
Lucca is the capital of the Province of Lucchesia and is one of the richest areas in Tuscany for history, tradition and culture. The area offers an extraordinary variety of interesting tourist destinations from Versilia on the Tyrrhenian coast, where there are international seaside resorts such as Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, to Garfagnana renowned for its natural beauty in the apuan Alps, to the hills overlooking Lucca where wine and olive oil abound together with some of the most beautiful and historically renowned homes in Tuscany. Lucca, is one of the most ancient towns of Etruria with its rich cultural and mercantile heritage and boasts a unique town centre which is completely enclosed by monumental walls which date back to the 1500th century. The Wall, whilst not being quite as well known as the Great Wall of China, is a spectacular fortification. There are also churches, of course, monuments and the gardens of the great villas. Lucca is the perfect starting point for anyone wishing to visit the other famous cities and towns in Tuscany and in the neighbouring regions

Guestbook
- Ciao Giovanna and Daniela We were late leaving this morning and did not have time to write in the guest book. We are so pleased we chose Lucca to stay in and even more pleased to be able to stay in your apartment. It was perfect. To be able to sit at the top in the evening and listen to all the chatter in the street below was a real pleasure. Although is it the middle of october we ate several meals up there. We would love to return one day Thank you Chris and Fiona
- We just wanted to thank you both very much for the flowers, biscuits and Vino Santi - they were a lovely welcome gift. We really had a brilliant and wonderful holiday in Lucca and especially with the beatuful apartment in the centre of Lucca we really felt a part of the City with the views and sounds of Lucca below us. It is such a great place to walk, we liked Lucca so much itself and we feel sure that we will be back again soon. The Italian people are so friendly and welcoming especially in this area. Thanks again
-We really loved your smart and very comfortable apartment, the roof terrace and the breathtaking view of Lucca We hope to return someday.
-This has been the most wonderful apartment we have ever rented. It was very spacious and comfortable, with many more amenities than we were expecting. The rooftop terrace is the main reason for renting this property - the panoramic view of Lucca is breathtaking. The owner was very helpful, and even left a bottle of wine as a welcoming gift! I nice extra touch that made us feel immediately at home. I would recommend this property to anyone, apart from maybe elderly people, as there are a lot of steps to walk up. But for anyone else, this apartment is as close to perfect as you could want!
