Spring is a great time to visit Bagni di Lucca the colours are fabulous and with blue skies and the sunshine who could want for more. Its a time to get into the hills above Bagni di Lucca and enjoy the stunning views of the valley below or the mountains in the distance still covered in snow.
There are many walks in the area to suit all levels from gentle strolls along the river to serious mountain climbing and everything in between.
Or if you prefer many of the hilltop villages are easily accessible by car where you can see Tuscan life as it really is with tree cutting for next winters fires, villagers preparing the land ready for planting and sowing, builders repairing or replacing rooftops in the traditional ways. The bars opening up for the workers lunches around 9 euros per head for 2 course lunch. coffee. water and wine great value and no wonder the workers have a long lunch break .
Make Tuscany your Spring destination and see for yourself.
