Lunigiana - the undiscovered part of Tuscany
[more]
We have a wide selection of houses, apartments and cottages amidst the beautiful countryside in the unexplored region of Tuscany known as Lunigiana, with crystal clear river pools for bathing and inexpensive dining out.
Lunigiana is not a classic tourist area, and herein lies its beauty. It has the feeling of stepping back in time to a medieval landscape of villages clinging organically to hillsides – castles perched on mountain tops, snow covered peaks of jagged rock, and a patchwork of vineyards and olive groves.
In short, the scenery is breathtakingly beautiful. There is an otherworldliness about the area which makes it a ‘getaway from it all’ holiday.
Lunigiana is based in the heart of ancient, rural Italy, yet is within easy reach of beautiful cities like Florence, Pisa and Lucca. Half an hour from the summer beaches and half an hour from the winter ski slopes, it makes in an ideal location for a relaxing, unforgettable holiday.
