MASSA CARRARA: MEMORIES IN MARBLE
The province of Massa Carrara is situated in the northernmost part of Tuscany, near such wonderful locations as the Golfo dei Poeti (Gulf of Poets), the Cinque Terre (famous five villages) and some of Tuscany’s most renowned cities. Massa Carrara strikes most visitors as the perfect balance between land and sea because the Apuan Alps, famous around the world as ‘marble mountains’, overlook the sea, with beaches that extend for several kilometres.

With such a wonderful geographical position, stunning natural views, and wonderful accommodation facilities, this part of Tuscany draws thousands of tourists every year. The Lunigiana region, a hugely popular tourist destination, lies in the northernmost part of Massa Carrara and stretches beyond the Apuan Alps. Tourists may also follow the river Magra to find the well-preserved signs of an ancient civilization. And always, always, you are within sight of the fantastic Apuan Alps, which offer you a uniformly excellent view of the sea. Also acting as a magnet to tourists are the fascinating marble quarries.

You will be delighted with the numerous castles that lie scattered around the province, reminding them of the fierce battles that were fought for occupation of Massa Carrara, which was an independent principality under the Cybo Malaspina family for centuries. Then there are the Romanesque parishes with their ancient stone structures, which have drawn the faithful through the centuries. Dotting the countryside are the province’s charming little villages, home to artworks created by masters from Lucca, Genoa, Milan, Florence and France.

The mild climate of Massa Carrara throughout the year means that you can visit at any time, following in the footsteps of travellers who delighted in the fine hill wine that was exported from Lunigiana. Other typical local products include lardo di colonnata (strips of cured pork fat), testaroli (a type of pasta) with pesto sauce, chestnut honey, panigacci (a simple flatbread), mushrooms, focaccette of aulla, torte d’erbi (herb quiche), olive bread, and, chestnut bread.

All of these delicacies and more are on the menu at the various Massa Carrara accommodations that we have listed and we would love to facilitate your trip to this most lovely Tuscan province. Accommodation in Massa Carrara includes hotels, campsites, historical residences, bed and breakfasts, and exclusive rental apartments, information about all of which is available with us. So without delay, make your way to the marble mountains.
