How to get there

Florence

(70 km away)

Florence, the regional capital of Tuscany, is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. Iconic sights include the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi with a bell tower by Giotto. The Galleria dell’Accademia displays Michelangelo’s “David” sculpture. The Uffizi Gallery exhibits Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” and da Vinci’s “Annunciation.” You’ll be spoilt for choice.



Pisa

(40 km from the resort)

Pisa is best known for its iconic leaning tower. Already tilting when it was completed in 1372, the 56m white-marble cylinder is the bell tower of the Romanesque cathedral that rises next to it in the Piazza dei Miracoli. Also in the piazza is the Baptistry – experience its renowned acoustics with daily performances.

Lucca (40 km from the resort)

Known for the well-preserved Renaissance walls encircling its historic city centre, the Piazza del Anfiteatro, and its cobblestone streets, Lucca offers visitors plenty to see and do. Stroll the broad tree-lined pathways along the tops of the massive 16th- and 17th-century ramparts and visit Casa di Puccini, where the great opera composer was born.

Cinque Terre (120 km from the resort)

The Cinque Terre comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline of the five villages and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

San Gimignano & Volterra (41 km from the resort)

San Gimignano is a hill town in the province of Siena. Encircled by 13th-century walls, the old town centres on the Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square lined with medieval houses. Nearby, the Duomo di San Gimignano is a 12th-century church with frescoes by Ghirlandaio in its Santa Fina Chapel.

Volterra still echoes with its Etruscan and Roman pasts – it was one of 12 power centres from the 4th through 6th centuries BC. You’ll see all of these past eras on your visit to Volterra, starting from parts of the walls that go back to Etruscan times but built on through the Middle Ages.

Siena (95 km from the resort)

Siena is distinguished by its medieval gothic style brick buildings. The fan-shaped central square, Piazza del Campo, is the site of the Palazzo Pubblico (the Gothic town hall) and Torre del Mangia, a slender 14th­century tower with sweeping views of Siena and the surrounding countryside from its distinctive white crown. The city’s 17 historic contrade (districts) extend outward from the piazza.
