Description of the Lunigiana area:
A vacation in Lunigiana in the commune of Fivizzano means a vacation in a green, unspoilt, mainly undiscovered part of Tuscany, far away from crowded tourist tracks but still close enough to important attractions like Florence, Pisa, Lucca and the “Cinque Terre” .
Here Mediterranean mixes with the alpine, experienced by tasting the numerous and unusual meals served in the “trattorias” of the area. If you have ever tasted “Testaroli al Pesto” you will understand…..
In the walled Medieval town Fivizzano, you will find everything you need: small shops selling local products, mini-supermarkets, butcher, baker, chemist, shoemaker, cafés, delicious ice cream!, restaurants and pizzerias. You can hire a tennis-court and nearby there is a big outdoor swimming-pool and riding-stable. Unbeatable is the “Piazza Medicea” with it’s Medici fountain and two Bars, just decide which one, ice cream or beer and…... having decided, you can sit there for hours, watching Italian life go by...........
Places within reach:
An hour’s drive away are the sandy beaches of the Versilia coast, the Gulf of Poets (La Spezia) and boats to take you to the famous Cinque Terre. To the south is Carrara and the marble quarries, Sarzana, home of a renowned antiques fair, and Equi Terme, once a Roman spa with its thermal pools and caves.
There are also museums and castles to visit, and local trains wind down through the beautiful Garfagnana valley to Lucca and Pisa for connections to Florence, Siena and the rest of Tuscany and Italy beyond.
