abc Tuscany, Villas Hotels Farm Houses and Real Estate in Massa Carrara and Cinqueterre Italy

 

The province of Massa Carrara, situated at the northern most tip of Tuscany, is a small area where nature has been particularly generous. The most outstanding features of its landscape are the sea and the Apuan Alps. Nestled in among the hills and olive groves lies Carrara, the capital of marble. Behind the town, the mountains hold a treasure wich is dear to sculptors of all times. This is where Michelangelo himself came to choose his marble. Yet, the mountains seem to be untouched by the two-thousand years of man's toil and labour. Its numerous castles, villages and Romanesque parishes stand out against a landscape offering countless gentle, relaxing views to the eye of the beholder. Massa boast a rather unique location connected to all arts town in Tuscany, being only 10-minute drive to Versilia, half an hour drive to Le Cinque Terre, a little longer to Pisa and Lucca and an hour's drive to Florence.
