Around Orologio
The villa’s strategic location makes it the perfect starting point for exploring both the Tuscan countryside and the seaside towns of the Versilia coastal area, or for day trips throughout the region's main cultural cities.
Just a 20-minute drive away lies Lucca, renowned as an Italian "City of Art" for its well-preserved Renaissance-era city walls and historic center. Visitors can explore the city's public squares, including the iconic Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, which stands on the site of an ancient Roman amphitheatre.
Pietrasanta, an artistic centre in the Versilia, is a 35 minute drive from the villa. This vibrant city has long been a magnet for artists, drawn by its connections to Carrara marble. Notable attractions include the Museo dei Bozzetti and the Church of the Misericordi, where Fernando Botero's panels, The Gates of Paradise and the Gates of the Inferno, adorn the walls. Additionally, visitors can admire Botero's Roman Warrior sculpture in Piazza Matteotti.
Forte dei Marmi, one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in the Italian Riviera, is a 40-minute drive from the villa. Renowned for its pristine beaches and vibrant nightlife, Forte dei Marmi also captivates visitors with its elegant architecture and picturesque streets, particularly within the Roma Imperiale garden district.
For further exploration, Pisa is just a 30-minute drive away, while Florence can be reached in one hour. The villages of the Cinque Terre are also within easy reach, with a drive of just one hour and a half from the villa.
