The province of Lucca is one of the most diverse regions of Tuscany, both geographically and economically. The city itself, encased within its famous walls, is quiet, tidy and very Italian compared to the other great cities of Tuscany. Shops, offices, residential houses and artisans' workshops sit harmoniously within this city in a way modern town planners can only dream of.

Intercontinental flights to Rome and Milan link with the international airports of Pisa and Florence.

It is approximately three and half hours' drive from Rome and Milan to Lucca, and 45 minutes from Pisa.

Day trips can easily be made from Lucca to Florence, Siena and Pisa.

The Versilian coastal resorts of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi are 40 minutes by car.
