The Tower is a pretty house built of mellow stone and set in front a tiny hilltop village between Lucca and Pistoia (600 meters above sea level) part of a huge stone building dating back to the 1200's - and which was a Ghibelline defense. The Ghibellines who sided with the holy roman Emperor fought against the Guelphs who supported the Pope over the right to rule the northern part of Italy.

In the Tower there are two apartments the Fairy and the Elf facing to a liberty terrace with Jacuzzi bath for 4 people and a cosy pool 7,5x4mt. furnished with gazebo and sunbeds.

In the upper part of the village in front the manor you can admire the church, which lost its Romanesque features when it was rebuilt before 1638 and adopted the Baroque style.

The Manor is surrounded by miles of woodland where you can enjoy long walks and the whole area is a patchwork of medieval hilltop villages that are all worth a visit. The Village, though tiny, has a bar/pizzeria, which also sells a few basic foodstuffs. The area makes a good base for touring being with easy driving distance of many famous places including Lucca, Pisa and Florence.

It is also a wonderful place to stay with the opportunity of nice walks in the surrounding woodland, horse riding, fishing, playing tennis or lazing on the beach of Viareggio sea (40 minutes driving).
