Altopascio

Altopascio is a small town in the Tuscan plain between Lucca and Montecatini Terme, in the province of Lucca. It grew up as a stop on the Via Francigena, and its medieval hospice and bell tower still mark the old centre, while the surrounding countryside is a mix of farmland and residential neighbourhoods. Property here suits buyers looking for a quieter base in Tuscany with the region's main towns and cities within easy reach.
