Foce A Giovo: One Of Tuscany's Most Historic Hiking Routes

This week we have been talking all about adventures in Tuscany and some of the most scenic spots that are located around the province of Lucca and it would be remiss of us, therefore, not to mention Foce a Giovo. If you have found a luxury villa in Tuscany or a luxury villa in Lucca, in particular, and are looking for places to enjoy outdoor pursuits, get some fresh air, and take in incredible views, Foce a Giovo is an excellent place to head to for a day-trip full of fun, action, and adventure!

The dynamic city of Coreglia Antelminelli has a history that dates back to the 10th century. It was briefly under Florentine control in the 14th century but after the city was won back from the Florentines, it became part of the Republic of Lucca. The commune status that the city enjoys today dates back to 1538. Ever since the 19th century, this community has been a major artistic centre in Tuscany and visitors will find a lot of interesting surprises here!

There are several historic buildings to see, and several of the squares host beautiful old houses. The upper village is home to the Museum of Plaster Figurines and Emigration.

It can be found in the Vanni Palace, which is one of the most popular historical buildings in the area. This museum is a fascinating place for all ages, and helps visitors discover just how plaster figurines became a major part of art in this region.

There are many stunning fortress remains and walled towns of the Mediavalle area of Tuscany that are most certainly worth visiting on your next vacation to Lucca province. Stay in a peaceful villa in Lucca where you can relax and unwind after a few days of cultural enrichment.

The walls of Barga still have two of the original gates hanging within it that both open into Piazza del Fosso. A moat once surrounded the outer wall as an added defence and entry could only be gained via a drawbridge. Whilst you’re in the charming town of Barga, be sure to visit the stunning duomo of St. Christopher and Palazzo Pretorio.

If you enjoy getting out in the open air to do some exercise then you’d love to set off on some beautiful trails that meander through the Apennine mountain range in Tuscany!

In 1818, it was decided that a road would be built through the Apennine Mountains, linking up charming towns and villages like Barga, Castelvecchio Pascoli, Coreglia and many others.

Those wishing to base their stay in the area have a lovely choice of vacation rentals in Bagni di Lucca, nestled in a valley in this mountainous area.

Start off your walking holiday here with a visit to the stunning Frignoli Botanical Gardens in Fivizzano, located 850 metres above sea level. It's home to some exotic and ancient trees and the air is filled with the aromatic smells of strawberries, blackcurrants and raspberries. It’s open to the public from 15th April until the 15th September every day and the rest of the year it’s open only on weekdays.

Come to the scenic Garfagnana area of Tuscany to discover some of the quaint towns nestled into the hills and valleys here. Garfagnana is well known for its large range of outdoor pursuits such as hill trekking, canyoning, mountain climbing and cycling trails to name but a few. Choose from a lovely range of holiday villas in Garfagnana to base your cultural stay in Tuscany.

Barga is a popular town in Garfagnana built on a picturesque hillside. Walk through the narrow cobbled streets of the town and admire the flowers blooming from windowsills and balconies throughout the town. This little gem town enjoys life off the beaten tourist track and would be an excellent place to stop off at for a few hours during your day trip of Garfagnana.

The medieval town of Barga is a bit of a hidden gem, located in the Tuscan-Apennine hills in the heart of the Serchio river valley, in the province of Lucca. Scenic, historic and with a surprising amount of things to see, do and experience, the town really is a delightful surprise to visitors. It has one many awards for its touristic excellence and has even been named One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy. If you are interested in local traditions, festivals and a place where there is a slower pace of life but still plenty of things to see and do, just find a luxury villa in Lucca and spend time exploring this charming little town that is off the beaten tourist track.

Barga dates back to the Longobard era of the early Middle Ages and its street plan has changed very little since then. It is a large web of little streets and alleys around historic buildings that is characteristic of the area and incredibly pretty.
