WHERE WE ARE
Agritourism Casolare dei Fiori is situated in the heart of Tuscany, in the Province of Lucca, at the foot of the beautiful Montecarlo hills.
Set on the plains below the charming mediaeval town of Montecarlo, the agritourism is surrounded by the hills of the Valdinievole, in the definitive valley of flowers with its history, its characteristic villages and the traditions of this splendid Tuscan land.
Situated only 2 km from the A11 Firenze-Mare motorway (Chiesina Uzzanese exit) it is the ideal position for anyone wanting to easily reach the cities of art, Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Siena, Vinci.
Agritourism Casolare dei Fiori is only a short distance from the seaside resorts of Viareggio and Versilia with their well organised serviced beaches, and little more than an hour away from the Appennine mountains with their winter sports centres and trekking and cycling trails. The spa towns of Montecatini Terme and Monsummano Terme with their wellness centres are only ten minutes away.
