Area Campagna

Stiava, a fraction of the municipality of Massarosa, is a quaint village nestled in the lush green heart of Versilia. It boasts an ideal location for those looking to discover the more genuine side of Tuscany, away from the crowded tourist paths yet close to its many wonders. The landscape is characterized by gentle hills, ancient olive groves, small streams, and trails that wind through the woods, providing glimpses of rare beauty and a refreshing silence, only interrupted by the sounds of nature.

This area is perfect for hiking enthusiasts, whether on foot or by bike, thanks to a network of paths that traverse hills and valleys, reaching the foothills of the Apuan Alps. Just a few minutes away are the lakes of Massaciuccoli and Porta, protected natural areas where visitors can enjoy birdwatching or leisurely strolls along the lakeside.

In under ten minutes by car, one can reach the famous beaches of Versilia, from Viareggio to Lido di Camaiore, ideal for days of sun and relaxation. Culture lovers can also plan day trips to renowned art cities: Lucca, with its Renaissance walls and medieval alleys; Pisa, famous for its tower and charming historic squares; Florence, with its museums and palaces.

Stiava still retains the atmosphere of traditional Tuscan villages, with its slow pace, the authenticity of local products, and a welcoming community. Nearby, there are trattorias, olive oil mills, and small markets where one can savor local cuisine and the most genuine flavors of Tuscan tradition. It is the perfect place to find balance and serenity amidst nature, culture, and the good life.
