Villa Marlia is nestled in a typically hilly landscape of Tuscany, just 11 km from Lucca. The city is traditionally called the "city of a hundred churches" for the large number of places of worship within the city center. Moreover, Lucca is the venue for several musical and cultural events throughout the year, such as Lucca Summer & Winter Festival e il Lucca Comics & Games. Beyond Lucca, some of the tourist attractions of the surrounding area are the luxurious villas in Lucca (over three hundred), characterized by elegant parks with gardens and fountains. Within 40 minutes by car you can reach both Pisa, the city of the leaning tower, and Montecatini Terme, a renowned Tuscan spa resort. Also within 40 minutes by car you can visit the Versilia coast, a tourist and seaside riviera known throughout Italy for its nightlife and clubs, especially the towns of Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and Pietrasanta. For lovers of nature and sports (trekking and mountain biking), we suggest an excursion to Garfagnana, an area full of natural landscapes, mountain trails and ancient picturesque villages. Main distances: Lucca (11 km), Pisa (28 km), Montecatini Terme (33 km), Viareggio (35 km), Florence (81 km), Siena (140 km).
