EXCEPTIONAL LOCATION
Set in the famous Tuscan seaside province of Versilia, Vallina Villas pride itself in a central location that allows for a variety of day trips.
The Tuscan coastline is renowned for fantastic restaurants, great art, and unspoiled beaches. Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, and Viareggio are a few of the most popular towns. Just beyond Cinque Terre is one of the gold coasts of Italy: Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, and the tiny gem of San Fruttuoso.
If you are seeking mountainous outdoor adventures, your desires are met at your doorstep. The Apuanian Alps surround us, rising from the Versilian plain to a height of 2000 meters. The marble quarries of Carrara are not to be overlooked. Seravezza, and the ‘Michelangelo Quarry’, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Sight.
Vallina Villas are only a half hour from the beautiful walled town of Lucca, Puccini’s birthplace and the town where he wrote most of his arias. In July and August, Torre del Lago celebrates Puccini with an open-air opera festival. Pisa is also a half hour away, and Florence can be reached in one hour. It should be noted that the mediaeval pilgrim route of Via Francigena literally passes our doorstep. Connect with history on this ancient path that leads from France to Rome.
There is more to our area than the towns most written about in guidebooks, and we would be delighted to share with you our favourite smaller towns according to your tastes and preferences.
