Lucca has its roots in Roman times, but it was during the Middle Ages that the city experienced a period of prosperity, establishing itself as an important commercial and cultural center. Exploring the surrounding countryside offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in the timeless charm of the many Renaissance villas. With their sumptuous gardens, these historic residences offer an extraordinary experience, revealing the artistic and architectural richness of a bygone era.

Our itinerary winds along the picturesque bike path that runs along the Serchio river.

Continuing along picturesque side streets, we will cross the renowned Via delle Ville, a path that will lead us to the prestigious Royal Villa, also famous because in 1800 it became the property of Elisa, sister of Napoleon Bonaparte. Its baroque garden is also beautiful.
