Tuscany Region
Lunigiana a region in Massa Carra, is unknown to the crowds, yet close to Florence, Pisa and the Cinque Terra. In this sunlit land of chestnut covered hills crowned by medieval villages, you will enjoy the very best of Italy - wonderful landscapes, good food and a warm Italian welcome. There are countless natural curiosities, such as the caves near Equi Terme, site of thermal sulphur baths. Cinque Terra is comprised of five extremely picturesque fishing villages. There is really so much to do if you want to, but if you just want to chill-out this is the place! Check out our website for more details.
The local area
There is an excellent open air Olympic size swimming pool in Villafranca with high diving board, water fountains, children's pools and a large lawned picnic area, naturally shaded by chestnut trees and equipped with BBQ's. This facility is 10 minutes drive from the house and was completely refurbished during 2003. As the pool is open air, it is only open during the summer months.
Getting there
Lunigiana is easily accessed by road, rail, or air. Three major airports at Pisa, Genoa and Parma serve the area and all are within easy driving distance on good motorways. Nearest airport is Pisa. Hire a car at the airport and take the A12 north towards Genoa, then take the A15 towards Parma.
