A glorious B&B retreat in a 17th century townhouse in the Lunigiana region in northern Tuscany. Located between mountains and sea, Monti Guesthouse is in the perfect location for people looking for a peaceful holiday base where they can enjoy exploring the many ancient villages and hilltop castles in the vicinity.
The Lunigiana region in the northernmost part of Tuscany shares its border with Liguria. This beautiful area boasts unspoiled natural beauty and a rich history, remaining largely untouched by commercial mass tourism. Lunigiana is dotted with ancient villages and charming hilltop hamlets, as well as over 100 castles that bear witness to its historically strategic significance. A stay in this region will allow you to embrace the relaxed rhythm of local life. Whether exploring a vibrant village market or participating in one of the many annual festivals, you’ll feel a genuine connection to the community and its timeless traditions.
For lovers of history and local legends, this is the area for you. In the middle ages, Lunigiana was home to 160 castles, 30 of which are still in a good state of repair and some of which can be visited. The village of Monti is overlooked by the Castello Di Monti Malaspina, just one of the local sites for you to visit.
The landscape is green, full of forests and rich in flora and fauna. It is home to many hiking and biking routes, not least the ancient Via Francigena, a pilgrim trail which extends from Canterbury in the UK down to Rome. A stay in Monti Guesthouse means you’re relatively close to the Italian Riviera - Santa Margherita, Portofino and Cinque Terre are all well worth a visit, and also you’re a short travelling distance to numerous Blue Flag beaches, from Marina di Massa down through to Viareggio. A little further afield, you’ll find that the cities of Florence, Lucca, Parma, Pisa, and Genoa are all close enough for a day trip.
