One of the most famous and most photographed structures in the world, the Torre di Pisa, is just a short drive away. Right next to the tower, it is well worth visiting the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta cathedral — a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture.

A city that rightfully competes for the title of one of the most beautiful in Tuscany. Its majestic old town, encircled by impressive defensive walls, conceals atmospheric restaurants, cafés and fascinating shops. We particularly recommend the church of Chiesa di San Michele in Foro, the charming Piazza dell'Anfiteatro — a square built on the foundations of an ancient amphitheatre — and the Birthplace Museum of Giacomo Puccini, the great opera composer.

The thousand-year-old Ponte del Diavolo, with its distinctive angular arch, spans the Serchio river in picturesque fashion — just a stone's throw from Gran Burrone.

A historic royal villa, once the residence of Elisa — Napoleon Bonaparte's sister. Among the finest gardens in Italy, filled with magnolias, camellias, waterfalls and fountains. The museum holds original artefacts belonging to Pope Leo XIII, including his pontifical vestments and correspondence.

The sandy beaches of the Ligurian Sea are surprisingly close. The best-known destinations are Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi — a fashionable retreat beloved by the European jet set.

A region of picturesque small towns, where charming alleyways compete with sweeping mountain views. Two small but spectacularly situated places deserve a visit above all: Barga and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.

The proximity of Tuscany's most famous city, Florence, makes a day trip from Gran Burrone a very real option. Countless palaces, museums and churches make it a true paradise for lovers of art and history. The most well-known attractions include the Uffizi Gallery, filled with paintings by the greatest masters, and the sculpture of David by Michelangelo himself. We recommend purchasing tickets online in advance for all attractions you plan to visit.
