“I Pianacci” offers hospitality in four apartments, which can sleep up to four people each.
All four apartments have been renovated in compliance with the traditional architecture of our area. The materials and building techniques employed reflect the style of the old country-houses typical of our hills.
The furnishings, in the “Country” style (arte povera) lack none of the comforts of a modern house.
The rent includes bed and bathroom linen.
The cooking area is completely equipped for four people, with three gas rings, one electric ring, fridge, sink, etc.
Biking is an important tradition in the Valdinievole, where there are a great number of amateurs, clubs and biking experts.
The variety of the local landscape gives us a rich choice of tracks which can go from comfortable straight roads to sharp bends, to low and high gradients. In any case, bike lovers will be able to discover unexpected pathways, enchanting shortcuts, and routes which are anything but monotonous.
There are many tracks for mountain bikes crossing the ancient roads that connected tiny villages and hamlets. It is easy to reach all the Valdinievole from here and for the experts among you, connecting to other valleys through the woods can be an interesting experience.
Our love for horses, both raising and training them, are the speciality of our Holiday Farm, which founded it's activity in this sector over 20 years ago.
In the heart of the valley that separates Lucca from Florence, Tuscany, our Holiday Farm with riding facilities will enable you to spend hours among the wildlife and in the woods, encountering only the marvels of our land.
At present we have 9 horses with different characteristics, depending on whether or not you wish to spend a day on horseback: we can cater for everyone, from beginners to experienced riders.
I Pianacci Holiday Farm is situated in the heart of Tuscany, in the Valdinievole area, on the upper part of the hill I Pianacci, 3 km above Uzzano, a suggestive medieval town that dates back to the beginning of the 12th century.
The Valdinievole extends from the city of Pistoia to Lucca and its typical Tuscan landscape includes many towns and hamlets which date back not only to medieval times but to the Renaissance, places of artistic interest, natural spas and centres for entertainment.
The climate is always milder with respect to other areas in the Tuscan countryside, because of the proximity with the coast, which is only 40 km away.
The position is strategic, pleasant and relaxing, not to say magical, and is at the same time very close to all the most popular and interesting tourist attractions: Montecatini Terme (12 km), Monsummano Terme (15 km), Pescia (6 km), Collodi (8 km), Vinci (30 km). Florence is only 56 km away (and can be easily reached on the A11 motorway Firenze-Mare), Lucca is 25 km away and Pisa less than 40 km.
Easily accessible by car:
->Highway Florence-Sea A 11, exit Chiesina Uzzanese, direction Pescia, signs to Uzzano Castle and then follow by locality 'Pianacci.
