Holiday homes in Pisa
In terms of scenery, Pisa and its surroundings offer a vast natural heritage which goes from the mountains and hills of the inland to the coast. An opportunity to learn about the area is definitely by visiting the Regional Natural Park of Migliarino, San Rossore Massaciuccoli, which extends along the coast. Towards the inland, you can find the Pisan Hills and the Wine Road, which are both typical landscapes of the Mediterranean. The hills are organised by a sequence of vines rows, olive trees as well as colours and scents.
The coast near Pisa offers a crystal clear sea. Visit the seaside resorts of Marina di Pisa, Tirrenia and Marina di Vecchiano and relax on the beaches of the stunning shore.
