Our staff selects villas for all those planning their vacations in Tuscany. On this page we offer our
villas in Carrara in Versilia.
If there is a town that is identified with its flagship product, this is definitely Carrara. The history and economy of this town have always been marked by its most famous product: the valuable
marble of Carrara.
One of the most representative symbols of the town is the
rose window of the facade of the Duomo, in white marble and worked so well to seem a crochet work. The Cathedral of St. Andrew dates from the twelfth century and is covered by a dazzling white marble. Inside, we would like to mention, among its works of art, a marble group called Annunciazione dating from the fourteenth century.
Also worth a visit the Palazzo Ducale of the sixteenth century that today hosts the Academy of Fine Arts.
There are numerous tours of the quarries in order to appreciate all the steps of extraction and manufacturing this important material. For those who are interested, we recommend a visit to the
Marble Museum and to the numerous art workshops in the area.
Carrara is therefore the ideal destination for those who love mountains with the
Apuan Alps that offer wonderful views, but it is also located a few kilometres from the sea. The Versilia towns like Marina di Carrara offer
beautiful sandy beaches for all those who cannot think of vacations without sea.
Among cultural event, there is the Sculpture Festival with events during the summaer and Carrara Marmotec in May.
For your vacation in Tuscany, choose one of the Villas in Carrara that our agency offers.
