The Lunigiana district is the most northerly area of Tuscany surrounded by Emilia and Liguria. The area is dominated by the Valle di Magra, the Appenines and the Apuan Alps. It is a mountainous region with beautiful views. There are numerous towns, little villages ("borghi"), castles from Roman and Medieval ages. It is a land of chestnuts, mushrooms, wild boar and its own cuisine. Through the isolated location, the area has remained original ; there is no industry, the rivers and streams have clean water for swimming and fishing. The area is ideal for lovers of outdoor sports, walking (via old crusaders routes), cycling, mountain biking, skiing (Zeri and Cerreto), golf, horseback riding, etcetera. Lunigiana is in a wonderful location with regard to the Tuscan and Ligurian coast; 30 minutes to the Gulf of La Spezia, Cinque Terre, Versilia, but also Lucca, Parma, Bologna, Pisa, Florence, Livorno, Genoa and Milan are available within 1-2 hours.
