Take your Tuscany villa holiday in Villa
Papavero in
Lunigiana. Nearby, the
region's mountains, valleys & coastline provide the opportunity for a multitude of
sporting activities. This geography has also moulded the region's rich history
and culture, which in centuries past has led to
the building of its amazing 100
castles.
A
Taster
Clearly, it
is not possible for us to identify here all the things there are
to see and do in Lunigiana. Accordingly, we have attempted to present just
a representative "taster". However, at Villa Papavero, there is a
large folder containing a variety of brochures about visits you can
make and activities you can
try.
We have chosen to present this "taster"
information in a number of distinct sections to make it
easier to assimilate. Those of you
interested in visiting high mountains must visit our Walking &
Climbing section below.
It includes details of many fantastic day
walks.
Please follow the <Poppy

The 3D map of
Lunigiana below is the simplest demonstration of the variety
and beauty of this region. As you can
see, it is the region's stunning geography that has determined
its character.
Mountains, valleys and Mediterranean coastline not
only provide the opportunity for a multitude of sporting activities,
but they are also the reason for the region's rich history and culture,
and its 100 castles.
The valleys provide critical routes, through mountain passes,
to the rest of western Europe. As a result they have
been travelled extensively for thousands of years by both traders and
by warring armies. Hence the fascinating history and
culture.
Since this 3D
map is a 'view' rather than a true map it is difficult to show
the scale and the position of Villa Papavero. However, the
same area can be viwed in the form of a Google
Relief Map by clicking the link. This shows the
scale along with the position of Villa Papavero,
marked with a blue pin.
