Itinerary

1. 1

   Lucca

   Pass by

   The countryside around Lucca, rich with olive groves, typical Tuscan landscapes and countless historical villas, offers the perfect setting for a day exploring aboard a Vespa.

2. 2

   Acquedotto del Nottolini

   Pass by

   The neo-classical aqueduct of Nottolini, with it's suggestive arches, a testimony to the wealth and ingenuity of the Lucchesi people.

3. 3

   Stop 3

   20min

   Our personal favorite ice cream parlor in town. Ingredients are carefully selected (keeping in mind seasonality), and all products are made with the highest attention to detail. It's an optional stop, but one we highly recommend. (Opening Hours: 11:30 AM - 08:30 PM, closed on Monday)

4. 4

   Chiesa di Sant'Andrea Apostolo di Gattaiola

   Pass by

   Using the church as point of reference, we'll be visiting the settlements of Gattaiola and Meati. Their narrow roads and lush vegetation make this part of town an amazing and characteristic area to drive through.

5. 5

   Oasi Massaciuccoli

   45min

   The Oasi LIPU is a protected sanctuary for many species of birds and animals, open to the public for free (you can leave an offer to help sustain their work). The sanctuary can visited on foot walking on wooden stilts that extend over the lake, zigzagging between the flora of the lake.

6. 6

   Lake Massaciuccoli

   Pass by

   The lake of Massaciuccoli is home to a variety of wildlife, including a number of migrative birds. The composer Giacomo Puccini used to wander around it, searching for inspiration, so much so that one of the towns on the lake was named after him.
