Arte in Paradiso

The name "Arte in Paradiso", which can be translated as "Art in Paradise", speaks for itself - surrounded by chestnut and pine forests with a magnificent view of the picturesque town of Pescia and the Tuscan hills, you feel the magic of this special place from the very first second.

Restored in the characteristic Tuscan style and nestled in the middle of an olive grove, the Arte Paradiso holiday home offers the perfect retreat for a group of 5 people. Entering the flat via a lovely sun terrace, you will see the charming, bright kitchen, living room, double bedroom and designed bathroom with shower. On the first floor, you can get straight to creative inspiration by seeing the studio space, which features stunning paintings and sculptures by the host, who is a painter and sculptor. From the living room you have the most beautiful view of the hills opposite and the town of Uzzano with its magnificent church.

The whole property guarantees complete tranquillity and both, the beauty of the Tuscan cultural landscape and the pleasant Italian climate are ideal conditions for enjoyment and relaxation. Sun, palm trees, cypresses, olive trees, herbs and fragrant flowers on the doorstep complete the typical Tuscan lifestyle. In the garden, a traditional walled pool, powered by its own spring water, invites you to relax - all surrounded by lavender and wonderfully fragrant flowers, buzzing with insects and butterflies. On the terrace you can enjoy the surrounding nature in wonderful peace under the beautiful starry sky, or play bocce on the cypress track on cool evenings. As the owner is not only a talented artist but also a passionate cook, you can ask him to prepare a surprise menu for you if you wish - you certainly won't regret it.

From Pescia you can make day trips to the Renaissance cities of Florence, Pisa, Pistoia, Siena or Volterra. Just 16 km from the accommodation you also find the enchanting city of Lucca with its unique walls and unspoilt medieval architecture. In the neighbouring valley of Collodi (3 km away) you will find the largest of Lucca's villas, Villa Garzoni, with its large gardens and waterfall. If you are travelling with children, there is a park of the famous cartoon character Pinocchio that you can visit. The sea at Viareggio or Marina di Pisa offers wide sandy beaches and rocky cliffs, like those found in the coastal towns of the "Cinque Terre". In the summer season, numerous cultural events take place on open-air stages and offer you, among other things, classical, blues and rock concerts in Lucca, Montecatini Terme and Florence as well as opera performances in Torre del Lago. If you like sports, there are various opportunities for hiking, tennis, horseback riding and mountain biking nearby.
