Location:

This villa is only moments away from the local spa town of Montecatini Terme which boasts a variety of tantalising ancient spas perfect for hours spent unwinding and letting your stresses float away. Amenities such as shops and restaurants are all within a 5-minute drive, while Montecatini Golf Club is only a short car journey away too.

Perhaps one of the most standout attractions nearby is Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci, while Pisa is just 20km away and is ideal for a day spent exploring the local architecture. Visiting the city's famous leaning tower is a must-do during your holiday to Tuscany!

The graceful Renaissance style city of Florence is 50km away and is perfect for a day trip. Wander along the banks of the River Arno, pausing for a drink or ice cream before crossing the renowned Ponte Vecchio. The many art galleries and museums here are great for sheltering from the scorching sunshine, though we recommend going early to avoid the queues!

The historic city of Lucca, just 33km away and is brimming with culture and great attractions to visit such as the city walls which can be explored by foot or by bike. Inside the beautiful walls, there is also plenty to see including many ancient churches, which lend Lucca it's nickname of ‘the city of a hundred churches’! The cathedral here has been standing since the 11th century and is filled with stunning religious art. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants to unwind in after a busy day of exploring.

Don’t forget to drop by one of Tuscany’s most famous and well-loved chocolatiers - Monsummano - who creates chocolate like you have never experienced before - velvety, soft and melts on the tongue!

In just 45 minutes you could be visiting the coastal towns of Viareggio, Forte Dei Marmi or Lido Camaiore. Each boasts a lovely stretch of sandy beach, a promenade, seaside restaurants and seasonal beach bars. For some luxury shopping, Forte Dei Marmi offers a range of boutiques from well-known brands.
