THE VILLAS IN TUSCANY

The town itself, encircled in a lavish green promenade that runs around the top of the 16th century walls, is rich in history, art and music tradition yet also offers a special shopping experience with a number of exclusive fashion shops, ateliers and boutiques alongside a host of local artisans. From Lucca you can easily reach the coast and the hip village of Forte dei Marmi, the mountains, the renaissance cities of Florence and Siena, the uncountable medieval villages and Chianti vineyards. Florence and Pisa airports are close to hand too.
