Sightseeing in the area:
If you would like to spend a day
by the sea we suggest the coast resort of Marina di Pisa
with beaches and services at a reasonable cost, or Livorno which
has rocks and blue sea.
For a day in the country with art we suggest a visit to Fiesole,
a hill top town. It has museums, churches and wonderful villas.
Here, in The Convent of San Domenico lived the monk and famous painter
Beato Angelico.
If you have some spare time, do not miss the Vallombrosa
Abbey, a real master piece surrounded by a beautiful countryside.
Carry on towards Mugello-Valdisieve, during the journey which is
about 30 km, you will find Borgo San Lorenzo, famous for white
truffles, Marradi and Vicchio, birth place of Giotto
(a visit to his home is a must), and Beato Angelico to whom
there is dedicated a museum.
For your interest:
Golf Place 18 holes at few km.
