Lucca

Lucca is a Tuscan city set on a plain near the Serchio river, between Pisa and Florence, known for its intact historic walls and a compact medieval centre of towers, churches and piazzas. Property here ranges from apartments within the walled city to villas and farmhouses in the surrounding countryside, and the city is often chosen for its calmer, more local pace than larger Tuscan centres. Its setting gives residents easy access to the coast, the hills and neighbouring towns, while the walls themselves remain a green ring used daily by walkers and cyclists.
