Property Details of Tuscany Apartment

prestigious University.

reachable by bus or by walking from the central Train Station.

This makes it an ideal location for people wanting to take a short
break in Tuscany: several low-cost airlines fly to Pisa for very
little money.

The apartment is composed of a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower

Local Area Details

Pisa is a city of incredible beauty.

It is very famous for the Piazza dei Miracoli, with the Leaning Tower,
the Cathedral, the Baptstery and the Monumental Cemetery.

Pisa is much more than that, though. It is a town whose origins date
back to the Etruscan era.

It was already very lively in the Roman times, and it hosts one of the
most important museums dedicated to the maritime activity since those
times. 3 Roman ships have been found, perfectly preserved, in the
ancient port area and are now the heart of a permanent exhibition at a
new museum.

Moreover, Pisa has a wonderful Medieval area, the market area, where
you can shop at the colourful and noisy fruit and vegetable market in
the morning, dine at the restaurants and caffés and enjoy a drink at
the many bars and clubs in the evening. Here, students gather after a
hard day of study and, given the internationality of the university
setting, it is very easy to meet people and make friends.

The Lungarni, the streets curling along the river Arno (the same river
which passes through Florence) are very beautiful and very interesting
for the architecture and the history of the many medieval buildings.

Pisa was a powerful Maritime Republic and this wealth and power is
reflected in the magnificence of many noble palaces.

Many artists chose Pisa as their "creative residence" in the 19th
century: Lord Byron and P.B. Shelly spent much time here and many of
their famous poems were inspired by the atmosphere of the city.

Of great interest are the Royal Palace, the Tower Houses, the many
churches such as San Paolo a Ripa d'Arno, Santa Caterina and San
Sepolcro, Giardino Scotto, also called Da Sangallo Forteress, and
naturally Piazza dei Cavalieri, with the prestigious Ecole Normale de
Pise and the huge Tower Library.

Pisa is a very lively University city. There is much to do besides
visiting the city centre.

There are many clubs and pubs, restaurants and shops.

Pisa is also a perfect base for visiting Northern Tuscany. From here
you can reach in less than 1 hour some of the most beautiful cities in
Tuscany:

- Florence
- Lucca
- Garfagnana
- Livorno
- Carrara
- Versilia
- Viareggio
- Volterra
- San Gimignano
- The Etruscan Coast
- Montecatini
- Casciana Terme
- Uliveto Terme
- Calci
- Vico Pisano
- Cique Terre

and much more.

It is an ideal base for people wishing to experience life in a
historical town and go to the beach (15 minutes) or to the spas.

Close by is also one of the most popular ski-resorts: Abetone, a cool
alternative to the summer heat.

We will be happy to provide suggestions for your daytrips in the area.
