Garfagnana - Land of People and Cultures

Garfagnana is the northernmost part of the Province of Lucca and is bordered by the Province of Massa-Carrara, Reggio Emilia and Modena. This geographical location at the turn of three Regions (Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia – Romagna) has meant this territory developed different characteristics in terms of cultural and anthropological landscape.

First ruled by Duchy from Ferrara and Modena, in the Nineteen century Garfagnana entered Massa and then Lucca. Hence a big plus, different people can feel at home in Garfagnana. Going further, nowadays this territory is opening itself to foreign tourists, Dutch, Belgian, German, English and French over all.

Over the last ten years attendance has increased by 70% and this is the basis for Garfagnana become  “Land of Peoples and Cultures.” It is simply to follow a small trend amongst tourist interested in Tuscany, as a place to live and not simply a place to visit.

If you want to rent a holiday villa near Lucca, Garfagnana is the ideal starting point for a relaxing holiday, one day to visit some of the most beautiful cities in the world (Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Siena) and the other to stay quiet, relaxing and regenerating in the amazing scenario of Garfagnana.

That’s why tourists demand for this “new heaven“, with peaceful and secret places, is growing. Garfagnana is a place that has to be discovered and share, outside the routes of mass tourism, close to everything you need and desire.
