Location:

Situated in northern Tuscany, Villa Topazio is set in beautiful terraced grounds and accessed via a partially unmade road. Tucked away on the edge of a lovely village, you can hike or drive to various restaurants serving delicious local delicacies.

If you are a fan of history, Pistoia has lots of fascinating sites to enjoy. The Cathedral of San Zeno, the striped church of San Giovanni Fuoricivitas and an 11th century palace are just some of the spectacular buildings you can explore. Montecatini Terme is another historical town which is filled with thermal baths. Relax in the hot waters while admiring the fascinating architecture that surrounds you.

Soak up the local culture in Florence, a city filled with all the delights that make Italy great. Indulge in a glass of red wine on the square and taste warm bread dipped in olive oil. Wander around the picturesque streets, unearthing different boutiques and stores around every corner. The city has a vibrant nightlife; various bars and nightclubs host life music until the early hours of the morning.

Lucca is another great destination that is under an hour from the villa. Ancient buildings are found all around the city, such as Lucca Cathedral and a Roman amphitheatre called Piazza dell Anfiteatro. Walk through its quaint streets and explore the different gardens, statues and buildings that make this city so beautiful. Head slightly further afield to Pisa, where you can eat, drink and see the sights. One sight not to be missed is the famous Learning Tower of Pisa, which attracts thousands of tourists every year.

Of course, the characterful villages and stunning vineyards and olive groves of Tuscany are waiting to be explored with famous Chianti villages such as Montespertoli, Certaldo and San Gimignano, perfect for idyllic day trips further south. Siena can also be reached in under ninety minutes, another glorious city located in this spectacular region.

Beach lovers can head east to Viareggio in under an hour, a wonderful seaside town with white sands and clear blue waters. You can spend the day snorkelling, surfing or trying the different water-sports available. If you are visiting around Easter time, make sure you check out the carnival the city hosts every year. With colourful floats, dancers and lots of music, you’ll make memories at this festival that will last a lifetime.
