The Village of Vinca

Vinca lies in the Valle del Lucido, at an altitude of 850 metres. Vinca and its surrounds form part of the Parco Naturale delle Alpi Apuane, an area of unsurpassed natural beauty in Lunigiana. Neighbouring towns are Equi Terme, renowned for its spa baths and cave systems, and Monzone, whose train station offers frequent access to the Italian rail system. Follow the 'strada del vino di Toscana' from Aulla and you will come to Vinca!

In springtime, the meadows fill with wildflowers, butterflies abound and songbirds fill the air. The area is a paradise for walkers and trekkers, with well marked trails for both experienced and less accomplished walkers. Picture the 'Sound of Music' and you will get some idea of the terrain.

A short stroll to the bakery, bread hot from the 'forno' savoured on the terrace with strong coffee or rustic wine; birdsong in harmony with the mood of the day.

Vinca is close to the Cinque Terre, Florence, Pisa, Lucca and La Spezia. The Gulf of Poets.
