1. Sant'Anna di Stazzema

Stumbled upon the story of Sant'anna di Stazzema whilst on holiday in Northern Tuscany. It's a tiny village,high in the Mountains at the edge of the Alpi Apuane just 20-30 minutes away from the Tuscan coastal resorts of Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and a little bit further north of Lucca. On 12 August 1944 German troop trying to prevent the Allies advance through Italy and trying to hamper local partisan activity rounded up and massacred 560 inhabitants (mainly women, children and the elderly) from Sant'Anna and nearby hamlets. The story is told in a series of panels in the village, in the village church, the Museum of the Resistance (at the time of the massacre the village school), and most poignantly the Via Crucis which leads up to a monument bearing the names of all the victims, underneath which is an ossuary containg the remains which were found in mass graves. The mounment is high up above the village, presenting stunning views of the surrounding Mountains and the nearby coastline. There are numerous waymarked walking routes a number of which follow the routes the soldiers took to attack the villages, also with signposts telling the stories of the families who lived in the hamlets at the time.
It is so peaceful and beautiful now it is hard to imagine that such events could take place here. What is also surprising is that it is not really signposted or indicated in local tourist centres or guides, perhaps to ensure that an air of peacefulness allowing for respectful reflection is maintained. Really moving, but to repeat, a stunning location. Really worth making a detour to visit of you are in the area, but be warned you will need a car capable of manoeuvring up the twisty mountain roads.
2. Bagno Maurizio

Bagno Maurizio is ready to give you a warm welcome. Situated on the charming Promenade of Viareggio, surrounded by excellent cafés, restaurants and shops, the establishment is just a few steps away from the beautiful pinewood of Viareggio and from the main square, Piazza Mazzini. Whether you are visiting the seaside resort of Viareggio for business or pleasure, the establishment provides a friendly and relaxing atmosphere at affordable rates. The private beach of Bagno Maurizio has a 30 meter beach frontage, offering a choice between 3 large tents of 7,5 square meters or classic beach umbrellas. One of the main characteristics of the beach is the amount of free space between umbrellas. Furthermore, the well-defined playground allows children to play in perfect safety.

Had been getting a bit disappointed as to getting sunbeds on the Beaches near Viareggio as been quoted €50-€100 for the day for a family of 4!! Read up on TripAdvisor and found this review and emailed Stefano. What a lovely man, he replied straightaway...MoreThank you very much indeed!!!
3. Piazza Duomo

Reviewed By Bart C - Foster City, California
We loved little Pietrasanta, and the center of the village is the Piazza Duomo. Lovely structures from a variety of ages. Not crowded. Surrounded by good restaurants, shopping streets, walks, and even a castle above. Short walk from the train station, for those on a quick stop tour. While it would be hard to classify any of the Tuscan/Ligurian coastal towns as not touristy, this one has more of a local feel than most. It's also an art town and the Piazza had some lovely sculpture on view. Great place to sit, paint, relax.

Situated in one of the wildest areas of the Alpi Apuane Natural Park, in the province of Lucca, the Grotta del Vento offers its visitors a comprehensive overview of all aspects of the underground world. There are 3 tourist routes.

The two hours (Second tour) cave tour makes a huge difference and unveils the true secret (particularity) of this cave especially if you already visited also other caves. Mind that temperature inside the cave is 10.7 Celsius. If you deicde to take the longest tour (3 hours) than be prepared to encounter even lower temperatures.
Please avoid enter the cave in flip flops or beach sandals, etc (as we noticed in some cases) since inside there are some slippery areas. A good vibram sole light shoe would suffice if you take first two tours (1 hour/2 hours).
Do not forget to take the cave brochure and audio guide (not Italian speakers) from the entrance. This printed guide of the cave we found extremely interesting and useful because it includes also valuable information and a detailed touristic map including main touristic points of the Garafagnana region (north of city of Lucca) which are close-by.
Enjoy your tour and remember - Do Not Touch the Limestone Formations :-))
PS: If you are a enthusiastic caver than do not hesitate and make your reservation for the 3 hour tour. Special speo equipment will be provided and will be included in your ticket price. This will be an experience of your lifetime :-))

Palazzo Medici in Seravezza has affordable fine art exhibits on a regular basis, La Vie Del Sole is on presently being shown. The palace has a lot of charm and was at one time a summer hangout for the Medici family. You can enjoy the grounds and the building where you'll find various sculptures aligning the path. A nice little cafe that serves vino and snacks is situated adjacent the palace. The clover laced lawn stretches far in front for a good distance if you like a little barefoot in the park action. On occasion, musical entertainment happens, usually jazz. Great spot for taking photos.

What a experience! Exceeded my expectations, and I will return.
Sandra is the best host and chef, and this school is very nicely operated. Exceptional food,service,and accommodations. Chef Sandra is a encyclopedia of knowledge, and is happy to share her insight and experience. As a chef myself, I was Inspired by what she and her family have established here. I can't stop thinking about the place since I left. If you're thinking about going to Italy and you like to cook, this is the place to go.
Ciao.
