Setting:
Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.
A car is required for restaurants, shopping, and local amenities


Very peaceful and tranquil, yet walkable to the small village of Casciana (bar and shop) in about 10-15 minutes. Piazza al Serchio is under a 5-minute drive for supermarkets, traditional shops, a small Tuesday market, bars, restaurants and a train station for easy exploring. 10 minute drive gets you to Camporgiano with its bars, pizzerias/restaurants, local shops and train station.

Fortezza di Verrucole: restored medieval fortress with panoramic views and living-history visits.
Parco dell'Orecchiella: way-marked trails, picnic spots and a visitor centre in unspoilt mountain scenery.
