Who hasn't dreamt of lazing their holidays away in a gorgeous Tuscan villa near the sea set in breathtaking countryside? Villa Vorno could well be your answer. The lovely area of Vorno is renowned for its historical residences and you will find plenty of beautiful 17th and 18th-century palazzi in the area.

In fact, the villa is only 10 km as the crow flies from the Tuscan coastline with its seaside towns so you are guaranteed to reap the benefits of the cool summer breezes.

The property is just a stone’s throw from Lucca, also known as “the city of 100 churches”, often voted one of the world's most desirable cities to live in or visit. Hidden behind impressive Renaissance walls, its cobbled streets, delightful squares and shady promenades make it a perfect destination to explore on foot. At the end of the day, open-air cafes and historic restaurants tempt visitors to relax over a glass of Lucchese wine and a slow progression of dishes prepared with fresh produce from nearby Garfagnana.

Pisa might well be best-known for its leaning tower in Piazza dei Miracoli, but the city is home to a multitude of beautiful churches, historical buildings, bridges and medieval palaces. Once you have photographed yourself in various amusing poses by the famous bell tower, take a wander around the 11th century Romanesque-Pisan cathedral and then along the banks of the river Arno and stop for a traditional cecina, a flat bread made from chick pea flour and stuffed full of all sorts of wonderful delicacies.

In just thirty minutes by car, you can reach Viareggio, the most important city in the Versilia. Established as a port of Lucca, this popular sun-and-sand resort is extremely renowned for its flamboyant Carnevale, second only to Venice’s carnival, and for its disheveled line-up of art-nouveau facades along its seafront, which recall the town’s 1920s and ‘30s heyday. Stroll along the city center’s charming streets, eat a gelato on the Passeggiata, and look out to the sea on the Dersena.

Famous for being the preferred holiday destination of many international celebrities, Forte dei Marmi is just a stone’s throw away from the villa and is the ideal place for those who love high standard services and a vibrant nightlife. With its beautiful beaches, exclusive designer boutiques, and lively atmosphere, Forte dei Marmi attracts tourists from all over the world every year. Before leaving the town, do not forget to take a stroll along the pier, historically used for loading marble extracted from the quarries onto the boats.
