Included excursions
Vinci - Leonardo Experience (Walking: 8 miles)
1 / 5
This guided walk passes through the landscapes that shaped Leonardo da Vinci’s imagination. It begins at his birthplace, a rustic farmhouse nestled among vine-clad hills, before winding along scenic paths towards the town of Vinci. In Vinci, the Leonardian Museum displays intricate models and detailed sketches that bring his visionary ideas to life. The town’s medieval tower offers sweeping views over the countryside that inspired his paintings, while its quiet streets evoke a Tuscany little changed since Leonardo’s time.
Montecatini and Montecatini Alto (Walking: 5.5 miles)
1 / 5
Discover Montecatini on a guided stroll along Viale Verdi, lined with grand architecture and leafy promenades, before stepping inside the opulent Terme Tettuccio spa to admire its stunning Art Nouveau design. From here, follow a scenic trail up to the hilltop village of Montecatini Alto, where narrow lanes and sweeping views await. Once a fortified medieval town guarding the valley, it now charms visitors with peaceful squares, historic churches, and panoramic terraces.
Ancient border tour (Walking: 8 miles)
1 / 5
This route explores the landscapes that once marked the boundary between Lucca and Florence. Peaceful riverside paths follow the course of the Lima, with a pause at the historic Castruccio Bridge. For those who wish, the day can begin with a walk across the Suspension Bridge, offering striking views over the valley. The route continues to the medieval village of Piteglio, with time to visit the church and bell tower before wandering its quiet streets.
Buggiano (Walking: 6 miles)
1 / 5
Follow the course of the Cessana stream to reach Buggiano Castello, a medieval hilltop village known for its panoramic views and historic gardens, with the option to visit the elegant Villa Sermolli. Once an important stop on the ancient pilgrimage route to Rome, the village still retains its stone gateways and centuries-old churches. Continue on to Colle di Buggiano, where narrow lanes and traditional stone houses capture the charm of rural Tuscany, before returning to Borgo a Buggiano.
Lucca and The Big Oak (Walking: 7.5 miles)
1 / 5
Explore the medieval village of Montecarlo, known for its well-preserved walls and the intimate Teatro dei Rassicurati, one of Italy’s smallest historic theatres. From here, follow a gentle route through the surrounding countryside to the Quercia delle Streghe, or “Oak of the Witches” – a vast, centuries-old tree whose wide-spreading branches have inspired local legends and literary tales, including Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio.
