Lunigiana / Tresana area
An ancient territory that has been a well kept Tuscan gem. It is rich in mediaeval history through its many castles, Romanesque churches and ancient hilltop hamlets. Bounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Apuane Alps and the Appenine Mountains, Lunigiana is a land lost in time. Its geographical location and turbulent history have combined to create a unique landscape, one that, even to this day, remains preserved and intact from over-development. Lunigiana remains virtually untouched by the rampant urbanisation and industrialisation that plague many areas of outstanding natural beauty in other countries. It has a uniquely rural character where life moves at a traditional pace yet it is easy to reach from the international airports at Pisa, Genoa, Parma and Milan.
It is an area home to magnificent Mediterranean beaches, you can partake in various sporting activities, go for walks around the local landscape or top up your cultural knowladge. Some key places of interest would be the marble quaries, Fosdinovo adventure park, museums and at certain times of the year there are some fantastic festivals.
The property is just 10 mins drive from shops, restaurants and train station and only 20 minutes drive from the motorway. The beautiful seaside resorts of the Versilian Riviera are just a short car ride away as well as the famous "Cinque Terre" coastal villages. The Renaissance cities of Florence, Lucca and Pisa are also within easy distance and can be reached by train - a very relaxing and scenic option.
How to get there
