Santa Croce in Fossabanda, Pisa

Advantages: full of culture
Disadvantages: queues for some places, tiring but understandable

..., but it is worth it as David is, well, colossal! Unsurprisingly, there are many churches in Florence worth visiting, most notably the Duomo and Santa Croce. Michaelangelo, Machiavelli and Galileo are buried in the Santa Croce, and these two chirches are unmissable! I wont bore you with a load of cliches, but remember , if you do visit, be sure to cover your arms and legs up or you will be refused entry! If you have the time, try and see the leaning tower of Pisa. as I explained earlier, Pisa is an hour away by train and the service is regular. You will not believe how far the tower leans, it looks like it is about to topple over at any moment! You can read about all else that Florence has to offer in any guide book, so I won't reiterate on what you might have already read. Ill just tell you that I found the city easy to navigate, the women are friendly... Read review

Advantages: A really little jewel you can't miss...
Disadvantages: The most important part of it it's his exterior view

Maria della Spina are middle age oriented, also if with a lot of Arabic influences. It hosted a lot of famous personalities: it's Galileo Galilei born city... Read review

Advantages: Everything for a relaxed, away from it all break.
Disadvantages: Not for small children or those with walking difficulties

...Where to start? Pisa airport where my wife and I landed on the start of our Tuscan adventure no frills quick baggage reclaim and out into the glorious sunshine. We decided to take a taxi to our destination instead of waiting for the service bus that runs regularly from Pisa to Lucca. Our driver was unfamiliar with the village of Santa Maria del Giudice, where our apartment was located, but he was friendly and helpful and finally got us there. The apartment was up a set of narrow stairs and on two levels, a kitchen, bathroom and small living room/bedroom with a double bedroom on the mezzanine above. Outside was a small terrace with a table and chairs that was sunlit throughout most of the day. Cozy, comfortable with all that was required to look after oneself. The village itself is just off the main road from Pisa to Lucca and boasts 3... Read review
