The Gavedo Coast is situated in a prime location, ideal for those who wish to alternate visits to renowned art cities such as Pisa, Lucca, and Florence with the exploration of lesser-known yet charming and historic places.

Just 9 kilometers away lies Pontremoli, featuring its castle and the intriguing Museum of Stele Statues, mysterious remnants of an ancient past. From here, one can discover the ancient village of Ponticello, the Romanesque church of Filattiera, and immerse oneself in the medieval atmosphere of the walls of Filetto. The castles of Bagnone and Malgrate tell tales from a distant era, while the Emigration Museum at Lusuolo Castle provides a poignant insight into the local population's roots. In Montereggio, the town of booksellers, the love for culture and literary tradition is still palpable today.

In a short time, you can reach Aulla with its fortress or continue on to Sarzana, embellished with two impressive strongholds. Other small treasures like Tresana, Podenzana, Fivizzano, Casola, Fosdinovo, and the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Luni are easily accessible, offering a journey through villages and castles scattered across the valleys and hills.

A few minutes from the Gavedo Coast, you will find Mulazzo, a medieval village full of charm, known for its ancient arches, remnants of a historic aqueduct, its cobblestone streets, and the historic Dante Tower, all enveloped in an atmosphere that directly evokes the past.

Those who love the sea can easily reach Versilia, with its lively Forte dei Marmi, or venture into the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Cinque Terre National Park, visiting enchanting locations like Monterosso, Vernazza, Riomaggiore, Manarola, and Corniglia. Still by the sea, Lerici, Portovenere, and Tellaro offer postcard-perfect landscapes and dreamy atmospheres.

Nature enthusiasts will find endless opportunities to explore forests, trails, and paths by foot, bike, or horseback. Among the natural wonders are the Piscio waterfalls, the Marmitte dei Giganti, the canyon of the Stretti di Giaredo, the mysterious Equi Caves, and the majestic peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Finally, on the Apuan Alps, the annual "marble lizzatura" celebrates the ancient and spectacular method of transporting marble blocks downhill, an event that preserves the allure of age-old traditions.
