Around Orologio
The villa’s strategic location makes it the perfect starting point for exploring both the Tuscan countryside and the seaside towns of the Versilia coastal area, or for day trips throughout the region's main cultural cities.
Just a 20-minute drive away lies Lucca, renowned as an Italian "City of Art" for its well-preserved Renaissance-era city walls and historic center. Visitors can explore the city's public squares, including the iconic Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, which stands on the site of an ancient Roman amphitheatre.
Pietrasanta, an artistic centre in the Versilia, is a 35 minute drive from the villa. This vibrant city has long been a magnet for artists, drawn by its connections to Carrara marble. Notable attractions include the Museo dei Bozzetti and the Church of the Misericordi, where Fernando Botero's panels, The Gates of Paradise and the Gates of the Inferno, adorn the walls. Additionally, visitors can admire Botero's Roman Warrior sculpture in Piazza Matteotti.
Forte dei Marmi, one of the most prestigious seaside resorts in the Italian Riviera, is a 40-minute drive from the villa. Renowned for its pristine beaches and vibrant nightlife, Forte dei Marmi also captivates visitors with its elegant architecture and picturesque streets, particularly within the Roma Imperiale garden district.
For further exploration, Pisa is just a 30-minute drive away, while Florence can be reached in one hour. The villages of the Cinque Terre are also within easy reach, with a drive of just one hour and a half from the villa.

How to book
Is Orologio perfect for you?
For availability and pricing see the calendar above. To book online click on your desired arrival date, then on the departure date. The calendar will grey out dates for stay lengths that are not accepted - most villas book Sat to Sat but many also allow shorter stays or odd dates.
If you have any questions or would like help choosing, we visit our properties regularly and can help you select the best villa for your holidays.
We can hold dates for you for 48 hours while you make sure everything lines up, then you simply pay the deposit (30% of total) to secure your booking. The balance will then be due 10 weeks before you travel.
Easy cancellation
Simply add "XCover" to your booking for a full refund if you can't travel. For more details see our Booking Conditions and XCover. You can add XCover to your booking at any time until you have paid your balance, ask your agent. If you simply need to change your dates please let us know: we can often modify your booking rather than cancelling outright.
Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 5 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
Not sure?
It can often be faster to contact us to ask for advice - we visit all the houses so can give you first hand advice based on your wishlist. Once you find a villa you like we can hold dates for you for around 48 hours while you check flights or make sure everybody is on board.
