Various information
Vivi's Cottage is located in Aulla, in the heart of Lunigiana, a borderland between Tuscany, Liguria, and Emilia that has preserved its authentic spirit. This region is renowned for its medieval villages, Romanesque churches, and castles that dot the gentle hills and lush valleys, providing a glimpse into a rich history and age-old traditions. Lunigiana is an ideal destination for those who enjoy discovering places that remain largely untouched by mass tourism, immersing themselves in a landscape that features rivers, forests, and cultivated fields.
Aulla's location is particularly convenient for those wishing to explore both the coast and the inland areas. In less than half an hour, one can reach Lerici and La Spezia, overlooking the Gulf of Poets, perfect for a day at the beach or for embarking on an adventure to the Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous worldwide for its stunning landscapes suspended between sky and sea. From here, it is also easy to venture towards Versilia, with its beaches and towns like Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, or to visit charming art cities such as Lucca and Pisa.
Nature lovers will find Lunigiana to be a true paradise. Just a short distance away, the breathtaking scenery of the Apuan Alps opens up, ideal for hiking and scenic routes, while inland, the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines stretch out, featuring the Lagastrello Pass and its natural beauty. With its trails, villages, and castles, this land offers a perfect balance of history, culture, and unspoiled landscapes, making every stay a rich and inspiring experience.
