Charming house in the medieval village of Larciano Castello, (PT) 51036

A romantic spot in Larciano Alto, in the province of Pistoia. Larciano Alto is a picturesque medieval town nestled among olive groves on the slopes of Montalbano, just a few kilometers from Vinci, the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci. The house is located in the medieval village and overlooks the hills from Lamporecchio all the way to Vinci.
About a 45-minute drive from the coast: Viareggio (LU), Forte dei Marmi (LU), and Marina di Vecchiano (PI).
The house is located in a central area, ideal for those who want to explore this part of Tuscany, from Florence, Siena, San Gimignano, Prato, Pistoia, Montecatini, Lucca, and Pisa, all the way to the coast.
For nearby destinations, I recommend Vinci, San Miniato, Montecatini Terme, and Montecarlo (LU).
Larciano Castello is home to a small portion of the residents of Larciano (municipality)—about 10 families.
A very quiet and relaxing neighborhood to enjoy a little vacation.
It is a fortification situated on the slopes of Montalbano at 165 meters above sea level, used by the people of Pistoia in the Middle Ages as a watchtower.
Every year, the village of Larciano Castello hosts the traditional “Medieval Festival.” This historical reenactment is organized by the Larciano Pro Loco Association under the patronage of the Municipality of Larciano. Actors in medieval costumes parade through the village streets, which are decorated for the occasion. Visitors have the chance to encounter warriors ready to duel, minstrels, and flag-wavers, as well as nobles, ladies, knights, and archers.
The event returns every year to bring the medieval atmosphere to life within the ancient town nestled on the slopes of Montalbano. The highlight is the Palio De lo Marzocco, featuring games that date back to medieval times.
Enjoy your vacation in Tuscany....
