Nestled between Florence and the Mediterranean Sea, Lucca is a virtual treasure trove of everything special about Italy and Tuscan living. A wealth of art, history, culture and relaxed living, it is the perfect spot to have as a base for a Tuscan holiday. All the major attractions of Tuscany are an easy drive along the Autostrada. Florence, Siena, and San Gimignano, are all within an hour and a half’s drive and Pisa and the beach are only 25 min away. Lucca is one of the few cities in Italy to have its original mediaeval city walls intact. More than 200 years ago, these walls were turned into avenues and parklands and have been a major attraction of the city ever since.  A "passeggiata" along these spectacular walls is the essential experience of a visit to Lucca.
