A little about the area:
The hilltop traditional village of Casciana boasts 250 inhabitants, a busy bar, and a basic shop which can supply all essentials including fresh bread. The bar owner will also often cook in request. This is a taste of real Italy, living in an authentic historical village which is set amongst the mountains, and surrounded by wonderful views.

The village is around 3kms to the closest restaurant and after this point there is a good choice of restaurants and bars. The closest larger village is Camporgiano a five minute drive away with a couple of restaurants, pizzerias and bars; inhabited castle; supermarket, pharmacy, small Monday morning market. There is also a train station for easy exploration of the entire area.
The village of Piazza al Serchio is also only a 5 min drive away - across the river, and all facilities can be found here including traditional local shops, a small Tuesday morning market when the village comes alive, a river, and some bars and eating places.

This area has a real feel of the true Italy.

In terms of larger towns, there is Castelnuovo the busy market town which is 20 mins or so away, the wonderful mediaeval town of Barga, renowned for its music, art, cathedral and great dining is 45 minutes away and the fully walled city of Lucca, which is a must for a day out, 1 hr 15 mins or so. Here you can meander or cylce on the intact walls, designer shop til you drop, go to a concert, enjoy a daily opera recital or just people watch in the grand piazzas.

Closer to hand and a 15 minute or so drive is the ancient fortress of Verrucole with its stunning views of the entire area, and it's interactive museum. Close to here you will also find the Buffardello park where you can tree climb and zip wire and enjoy various challenges in the forest - suitable for both children and the most adventurous of adults.

If adventure is your thing then you may also wish to visit the Parco Levegliese and sample rock climbing or river canyoning around a 45 minute drive away, and you may wish to combine this with a tour of the fascinating wind caves a further 15 minutes on.

This is an ideal opportunity to stay in a mountain village house, with fantastic views, and experience the real Italy!
