Horsebackriding
Your visit to Tuscany would not be complete without seeing at least a portion of the beautiful scenery of Lucca hills from the horseback choosing from a lesson, one-hour trail rides, half-day rides; or spend the whole day exploring the countryside. Discovering Tuscany on horseback is an experience that everyone should try at least once in their life. Find the right rhythm in tune with your horse, breathe deeply the clean country air, gallop at breakneck speed between the newly plowed hills or long bright sunflower fields.
There are multiple paths on the surrounding hills which present different levels of difficulty. Your guide will tell you some curious details about the renowned Tuscan countryside, while you’ll be riding immersed in the nature. Crossing the countryside on horseback, perhaps alongside a river and listening to the roar of a waterfall, birds singing with the constant soundtrack to the beat of horses’ hooves will take you back to a true dimension of enjoyment on the natural environment.
The first time sitting on a horse is an exciting experience unlike any other. Forming a relationship strong enough to understand one of these amazing animals while exploring Lucca’s countryside is truly something special.

Pilates and Yogain villa
The first moments of each day are really precious. It’s a time where we can influence how we are going to think, act and to respond for the rest of the day, so it makes sense to make that time positive and inspiring.
Yoga has a myriad of benefits no matter what time of the day we practice. But there’s just something profoundly special about rolling out your mat at the start of the day next to an olive tree, or at the top of a hill overlooking a vast vineyard. Flexibility, firmness, agility, these are the promises of the “method” par excellence. Pilates trains you to initiate movement from your body’s powerhouse, also known as your center or core.
Originally used by dancers to get in shape and keep the lean and toned body, now it has spread around the world to prevent or counter any imbalances, but essential to learn how to move in a harmonious way and improve the body posture. Have your private lesson before or after passing a day in discovering the beauties of Tuscany. The guiding philosophy behind Pilates is that you must devote yourself to your whole being – mind, body and spirit to attain good health, so make your private teacher help you to boost creative energy for your day that you’ll need for your daily tours through this remarkable place.
