Stiava is a small village in the hinterland of Viareggio and Massarosa. The centre of the village has a small piazza with a church and a lively piazza on the main street, where you can find small but all shops - groceries, bank, pharmacy, fashion, restaurant. It is 6 km by car to the sea and only 4 km to Lake Massaciucoli. Stiava is close to Corsanico and Bargecchia, or Pieve and Camaiore. You can organise many short trips from here - Lucca and Pisa are only about half an hour's drive away, Florence a little more.
Stiava is flat and then, from the church onwards, begins to take over the hill - here you will find olive groves and lots of land and woods, but at first the landscape has been built up with pretty houses. Right here on a plateau on the hill, next to a larger car park, 3 ecologically built houses with small gardens are now being built, all with some sea view. Two houses have 150 and 140m2, the smallest on one floor style bungalow 120. Prices 360.000. 350.000 and 340.000.
They all have 3 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom and living room. Parking space internal. Heating: gas. All are being built now so you can still choose on things like flooring, tiles, bathroom ect.
From the Etruscans to the Romans to the Renaissance, Tuscany is possibly the greatest repository of art in the world, from extraordinary paintings and sculpture to frescoes and architectural masterpieces. Visitors to Tuscany come for many reasons. Many come in search of fine art, others to explore the extraordinary countryside. Gourmets and wine buffs descend on Tuscany to enjoy the simple yet wonderful cuisine and wine. Walkers enjoy the mountain paths, cyclists the rolling hills, summer vacationers the sea coast and islands. Students come to learn the beautiful Italian language and culture. There is a lot to see and do in Tuscany, the difficulty is really where to start. Certainly most should start with Florence, then continue on to Siena and Pisa. The roll call of città di arte, cities of art, is daunting: Arezzo, Cortona, San Gimignano and Lucca are all striking. The more you come to know the region, the more extraordinary Tuscany appears.
