Local Information
Nestled into the hillside is the picturesque village of Taponecco. Cobbled pathways and arches connect the houses of this medieval settlement dating back to the 13th Century. Taponecco is served daily with groceries and there is a popular Trattoria close by where you can experience typical specialities and take in the breathtaking views from the terrace. The surrounding villages have facilities such as banks, grocery shops, cafes and bars.
Lunigiana is the most northern part of Tuscany bordering Liguria, with Pisa and Genova airports approximately one hour away. A quiet corner of Tuscany where traditions are strong, hospitality generous and the pace of life relaxed. The marble peaks of the Apuan and the Appenine mountain ranges encompass the region against which magical outlines of castles can be seen, many restored while others remain romantic ruins. Paths lead through narrow village streets with stone houses rendered beautiful with simplicity. Seasonal festivals are held in the villages throughout the year to celebrate the harvests, with simple recipes evolved through the centuries and gathered from the tastes of Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia Romagna. During the long summer nights the village streets are lit by candle light with live performances and cantinas are opened selling local handicrafts.
Experience this beautiful landscape by foot or horseback and cool in the shady river pools of the valleys. Pontremoli is a principal town with its imposing Duomo and hilltop castle that house the stele statues dating from 2000BC, said to hold the mystery of an ancient civilisation.
In contrast to Lunigiana, the Ligurian coast is so very close in distance but in many ways a world apart. A short drive takes you to the Gulf of the Poets where you can wander the bustling, old streets of La Spezia with its cosmopolitan atmosphere, enjoy a drink in its many bars and of course explore the shops and the markets. Relax in one of the many seafood restaurants at Lerici and watch the sunset from the harbour. Regular ferries leave for Portovenere with its pastel coloured waterfront, and the award winning Cinque Terre, five fishing villages that cling to the side of this dramatic coastline. The last of these villages has a beautiful beach for sun and sea enthusiasts, with some of the clearest waters in Italy. Sarzana lies inland, an elegant town of piazzas and narrow lanes with a host of antique shops and small boutiques and opens its streets during the summer for the annual market selling antiquities and memorabilia.
Cultural centres such as Parma and Lucca are in easy reach. Florence can be visited by car in about an hour and 30 minutes or experience the superb scenery by train. Transport links are very good and inexpensive, however car hire is recommended to really appreciate the region.
This is a holiday with an opportunity to explore not only this beautiful part of Tuscany but also Liguria. If you have a passion for Italy, its architecture, culture, fine food and wine then this experience is for you. It would be impossible to mention all the region has to offer, however we are sure that after your visit this will be a place you find difficult to forget.
