Palaia is a very small village which has a gorgeous country around. It is definetly a good base to visit the beauties of Tuscany, living at the same time to relax of an uncontaminated environment. Only 15 mins by car and you are in Pontedera, small city but with lots of nice bars, pubs and restaurant as well as a lot of activities such as tennis, swimming pools, football and so on. If you want to visit the Dome, the Uffizi or Ponte Vecchio in Florence (the cradle of Renaissance) you can go either by car (1h20) or by train from Pontedera (50mins). One day you could go to Pisa and lay in the sun on the grass of Piazza dei Miracoli with the famous Leaning Tower in front of you (50 mins by car or 15 mins with the train from Pontedera). You cannot miss Siena with his marvellous Piazza del Campo which in August changes in a Horse race for the Palio. Moreover the location is well related with famous wine itineraries and it is for example very nice to drive along the road to San Gimignano, which passes through hills and valleys, and along which many farms produce and sell their own olive oil and wine for competitive prices. Montecatini Terme, Lucca, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and Castiglioncello are also easily reachable. We will be very happy to give information’s about place where to go and good restaurants!
