WHAT THE SUNDAY TIMES HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS AREA OF ITALY:
This villa is situated on the Tuscan Riviera which has been Bridgewater's 'special part of Italy since 1973' and was chosen by the Sunday Times Travel Supplement March 20 as an "all star destination" in Italy. Our villas on the Tuscan coast with it's stunning mountain backdrop, wide golden beaches & beautiful countryside are only 30 mins from Pisa airport, 20 minutes from Lucca, 1 hour from Florence, Portofino & the Cinque Terre.
FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA & THINGS TO DO / SEE:
Bridgewater has its own office in Pietrasanta,a magical town of 'art & artists' where Michelangelo once lived. The Medieval town nestles at the foot of the marble clad Apuan alps only a few minutes drive (or bike ride) from some of Italy's most immaculate wide sandy beaches. The area is loved by locals as well as international artists, sculptors and celebrities yet relatively undiscovered by tourists. The Tuscan Riviera is the ideal destination from which to explore the best that Italy has to offer with a private villa as your base. Perfect for beach lovers and those who are looking for art, culture, and cuisine as well as splendid countryside. Music lovers will be interested to know that ‘Torre del Lago’ (where the maestro Giacomo Puccini lived and wrote his operas) is only 15 minutes drive and you can enjoy Puccini’s operas beneath the stars at the open air theatre by the lake. Walking in the alps is also popular in this area of Italy and the food is some of the best that Italy has to offer…simple, fresh, rustic cuisine to satisfy the most discerning of pallets. There is also tennis, watersports, clay pigeon shooting, golf, horse-riding in the area.
GETTING THERE, GETTING AROUND & EXTRA SERVICES:
Pisa is the nearest airport to fly to for this property. (Bologna, Florence & Genoa are also within reasonable distance). The journey from the airport can be made either by hire car, taxi or train in to Pietrasanta station. Bridgewater can arrange bike hire and beach club membership prior to departure as well as other 'Finishing Touches' such as hampers etc.
