Visit the ancient hamlet of Massaciuccoli near Viareggio in the province of Lucca. Human presence is dated at Massaciuccoli way back to prehistoric times.
Visitors could be greeted with no nicer setting when visiting the popular archaeological sites within Massaciuccoli village. It’s enveloped by olive grove filled hills overlooking Massaciuccoli Lake.
Stay in a glorious Viareggio villa with a swimming pool, where you will be a close distance to Massaciuccoli Lake
A nice population had settled here prior to Roman takeover but went on to thrive during the Roman Empire reign because of its scenic geographical position. Massaciuccoli is connected to Luni, Lucca and Pisa via the River Magra and River Arno.

Stunning buildings were built here during this time. The remains of many of them are also part of the nearby Natural Park of Migliarino San Rossore which is the largest wetland in Tuscany. Remains of what would have been a large luxury villa can still be seen here.
It even had its own ‘spa’ area of a sauna, cool water pool and much more which can be learned about on a guided visit here. There is also the remains of what were a station and another building which houses an almost perfectly preserved mosaic of animals.

There’s now a museum and exhibition space here in Massaciuccoli that beautifully displays artefacts uncovered here. Tourists will be treated to a great description of the history of this ancient hamlet and see vivid illustrations of what these buildings would have once looked like.
