See the 'captivating' Garfagnana mountains on a Tuscany holiday

Welcome Tuscany claims that, at first glance, Garfagnana is a harsh mountain landscape, but it is beautiful in every season and in summer it springs to life.

"Every corner is like a naive art work, a splash of colour enlivening the pastel green of the pastures," it says.

A trek through the mountains of Garfagnana is a "hiking paradise" and an "ideal choice for a healthy and invigorating holiday in Tuscany."

Those who wish to explore Garfagnana, Lucca and the north-west of Tuscany, could stay in the attractive medieval town of Pieve di Compito.

Holiday makers who rent a villa in Pieve di Compito will find that it is set in a lush woodland landscape and offers the feeling of really being away from it all, while Tuscany's historical sites are also a short drive away.
