What to do in Ponsacco

If you feel like …

Apart from the main destinations, there are a thousand ways to enjoy the area and its activities. A few more suggestions …

Sea

The sea is 2 steps away. It starts from the Calambrone locality (30min) and continue with Tirrenia and Marina di Pisa. Beaches equipped with everything, but there are also large free stretches. If, on the other hand, you want to walk at sunset, nothing better than the Livorno seafront (the splendid Terrazza Mascagni) or the Viareggio seafront […]

Hills

Fantastic itineraries in the hills of Tuscany, landscapes and villages: Chianti, Crete Senesi, Val d’Orcia, Val di Chiana, Val d’Elsa. We recommend above all the Val D’Elsa (just 45 minutes from Ponsacco) and in particular Sentierelsa, the river path of wonders, a path that runs along the beautiful Elsa river, the true protagonist of this place […]

Mountain

If you are in the mood for the mountains, we recommend Monte Serra Tenuta Santallago (1.5h) to enjoy the cool park and roast meat in the equipped area in good company. In the winter period Abetone (2h) is a must for winter sports lovers (reachable within a day). We recommend loc. Santa Luce with its slopes and its refuge to enjoy excellent cuisine […]

Spa

Just 10km from Ponsacco are the Terme di Casciana with its thermal pools, wellness center and treatment and rehabilitation centers. A place to feel good. A little further (45min) Montecatini Terme and its splendid spa facilities. “Magnificent buildings in liberty and neo-gothic style frame the most beautiful and fascinating Thermal Park in all of Europe”. Needless to add more […]

Food

There is something for all tastes. Tuscan cuisine is rich and varied. Enjoy the fantastic Florentine from Benito and the typical Tuscan dishes. Seafood menu in Livorno on the seafront (try the Caciucco) or in Marina di Pisa at sunset on a stroll. For lovers of Neapolitan pizza O’Vesuvio in Pontedera, while in Ponsacco we recommend GiroPizza with its excellent “Tuscan” pizza. Don’t miss the “cecina”! If you love aperitifs, try Amalia’s on the Braccini Lakes […]

Nature

We indicate a couple of places to visit. The Candalla Waterfalls (Camaiore, Lucca) an enchanting itinerary along the Candalla stream with natural pools and waterfalls between woods and rocky walls. The second is the nature reserve on the eastern shore of Lake Massaciuccoli, an oasis of peace and biodiversity. Absolutely not to be missed […]
