Walkers should head to Lucca for a Tuscany villa holiday

Martha Bakerjian commented on About.com that the walled city offers plenty to sate the palate of the enthusiastic rambler.

"Lucca is flat so it's a great place for walking - you can even walk around the outside of the city on top of the walls or you can climb to the top of the Guinigi Tower for good views of the city," she recommends.

The writer's own experience involved lunch after a morning of walking, followed by shopping in Lucca.

An alternative itinerary could involve relaxing tired feet in a Tuscany villa after a day of exploration.

According to the article, one of the best things to do in Tuscany is taking the Lucca-Aulla Lunigiana train line, which travels past rivers and mountains that epitomise the year-round beauty of the Italian landscape.

Meanwhile, Cat Hobbs, public transport campaigner at Campaign for Better Transport, has this week noted that trains can be a relaxing and pleasant way to travel.
