Things to do and one-day trips:

Il Volo del Nibbio is the perfect base to visit the Natural Park of Migliarino – San Rossore, the lake of Massaciuccoli and to go to the seaside to Marina di Vecchiano (c.ca 15 km away), a natural oasis of savage beauty, with a dense pine tree forest, dunes and Mediterranean scrub.
In spring and autumn, the eco-tourism of the park offers Nordic walking tracks, bike tours or birdwatching walks from the mouth of the Serchio to the lake of Massaciuccoli.
Places of art such as Pietrasanta, Lucca (about 16 km away), Pisa (about 8 km) and Florence can be easily reached by car and visited in a one-day trip.
Several paths lead from the house to suggestive walks towards the ancient hermitage that is part of the castle of Vecchiano (of which only part of the walls remain), the remains of the fortress of Avane, or the village of Filettole with its characteristic Torre dell’Aquila.
In the surroundings, parish churches, castle ruins, towers, historical villas as well as the many nature destinations will make your holiday rich in discoveries.
Music lovers will be able to attend the famous Puccini festival held every year in July and August.
The house is located on the edge of the village of Vecchiano and guests will be able to reach shops, grocery shops and restaurants on foot.

  Hike The Passo Di Dante For Incredible Views Over Tuscany

Tuscany isn’t short on beautiful scenery or incredible views and ways to take them in. So many of her towns are built on hilltops, affording the most amazing sweeping vistas over the surrounding landscapes. There are also plenty of buildings all over that you can visit to admire the view from up on top of them. However, if you really want to admire a good view, the best combo is a nice hike to work up a little bit of a sweat, some fresh air and natural surroundings to admire along the way, and then a great view from the top of the trail as a reward for all of your efforts. Like hilltop towns and pretty vantage points, there is not a shortage of great hiking trails to choose from in Tuscany, however, if we were to recommend one today, it would be the Passo di Dante on Monte Pisano. If you have found a vacation rental in Pisa and you’re looking for somewhere to go for a pleasant and not overly challenging hike that boasts history and truly excellent views, then this is just the spot for you!

Monte Pisano has quite a few different routes to choose from and these routes are of various levels of difficulty, meaning that there is probably something to suit everyone, no matter their kind of previous experience with hiking or fitness level. All boast excellent views – with panoramas over the Tuscan Coast to one side of the mountain and across to the Lucca and Apuan Alps on the other side – and traverse through a stunning landscape made up of forestry dotted by ruins of ancient monasteries, pretty little churches, and old farmhouses.

  Where To Go Paragliding On Vacation In Tuscany

Monte Pisano (also known as the Monti Pisano but not to be confused with the Pisan Hills) is a small mountainous area in north-central Tuscany that separates Pisa and Lucca. A beautiful part of the country that is perfect for hiking, biking, photography enthusiasts, and those interested in different outdoor pursuits, it is the spot to head to if you have found a villa in Lucca or a luxury villa in Pisa and you are looking to get active during your holiday in the area.

Taking in stunning views over the picture-perfect landscapes of the surrounding area of Tuscany, there are many panoramic spots to enjoy and capture this gorgeous part of the world if you are exploring the area in and around Monte Pisano. However, probably the best, most exciting, and most impressive way to take in those views is from the air itself. How might one achieve this you may ask? Why, by heading out on a tandem paragliding adventure, of course!

  Enjoy A Luxury Spa Day At Bagni Di Pisa On Vacation In Pisa

A Tuscany villa is an excellent idea for those who want to enjoy a relaxing getaway as the entire region is home to lots of natural hot springs and the charming and historic spa towns that have grown up around these destinations. Drawing generations upon generations of both locals, Italians from other parts of the country, and tourists from all over the globe to enjoy the restorative waters and a range of other relaxing and holistic treatments, these are the places that you want to go to if you are looking to truly unwind and rest on your next vacation. We have discussed many different naturally-occurring hot springs, thermal parks, spas, and spa towns previously but one of the most luxurious spots in the entire region to enjoy a day at the spa and in the hot spring waters that we haven’t mentioned before has to be Bagni di Pisa. The day spa here, at this stunning 5 star hotel in a beautiful 18th century building, is a real slice of heaven and is ideal for those who have found a villa with pool in Pisa and are looking to treat themselves to a properly luxurious spa experience.

Located in the spa town of San Giuliano Terme, about 5km from the city of Pisa, the Bagni di Pisa spa is a serious looker, with the thermal pools and baths set in an elegant courtyard of the building, framed by lovely architectural details such a pilasters and arched windows looking into the old palace. This setting is a wonderful and atmospheric place to soak in the restorative waters and is an especially refined counterpart to the famous outdoor springs such as the iconic example in Saturnia – though we would highly recommend a visit to both types if you can manage it!

  Cerratelli Foundation: 30,000 Impeccable Costumes From Theatrical Productions In Tuscany

As we mentioned in a recent article, Tuscany is a region of the world that is known for her long history and rich heritage of fashion design. However, the region is also famous for its cultural contributions to the world, with theatrical and musical genres, styles, and performances being very important contributions, in particular, in the past. Opera was born in Florence and travelling theatrical troupes litter the pages of the history of the region, for example.

It makes sense then, that the world of stage and clothing were closely intertwined and lots of costumes were born in Tuscany, in order to adorn performances and complete productions. One of the most famous costumiers of all time was Arturo Cerratelli and, luckily, the work of both this man and his industrious company remains housed in an incredible museum that remains to help tell the fascinating story of theatrical dress in Tuscany. One of the more unique and (understandably) theatrical clothing museums, this amazing institution is a must-see for anyone who has found a luxury villa in San Giuliano Terme.

  Mind-Blowing Architectural Gems In Tuscany I

If Italy (and Tuscany, in particular) is known for any single thing, it is art. Of course, fashion and food quickly come to mind upon mention of the country, as well, but it is the art that seems to stick out most in the international common consciousness. As Florence was at the heart of the Renaissance, the wider region of Tuscany was blessed with many great artists and works over the years. As such, there really is an endless list of things to see and do. One particular art form that is especially bountiful is architecture. The region abounds with architectural gems so why not find a luxury villa in Tuscany and explore these delightful structures for yourself? It promises to be a trip of a lifetime.

If you visit the city of Lucca in Tuscany, you should make sure not to miss a charming attraction that is located just outside it: the Acquedotto Del Nottolini. This impressive aqueduct is often mistaken for a remainder of the Roman Empire but is actually a neoclassical gem that is modelled after those older examples and dates to the 19th century.
