Beyond the boundaries of the estate, Podere Conti sits within a region of remarkable variety, where mountains, valleys, villages and coastlines lie within easy reach.
Guests are free to explore independently, at their own pace, choosing between quiet walks, cultural discovery or day trips further afield. What follows is an introduction rather than a checklist — an invitation to explore a wider territory shaped by history, geography and tradition.
The surrounding landscape is crossed by ancient paths, woodland tracks and pilgrim routes that have connected people and places for centuries.
From gentle walks beginning at the estate to longer routes within the nearby National Park, walking here offers immersion in nature, changing light and seasonal landscapes. Many paths lead to small villages, churches and mountain meadows, rewarding curiosity rather than speed.
Lunigiana is well suited to mountain biking and e-biking, with routes that pass-through forests, farmland and historic hamlets.
For guests wishing to explore further or join guided rides, local organisations offer bike rental and guided experiences, adapting routes to different levels and interests. These activities are organised externally and allow guests to discover the region with those who know it best.
Often described as the Land of a Hundred Castles, Lunigiana is rich in history and cultural heritage.
Medieval fortresses, Romanesque churches and historic villages lie scattered across the landscape, many connected by ancient pilgrimage routes. Exploring them offers insight into a region shaped by passage, borders and exchange, where spiritual and everyday life have long been intertwined.
Local festivals and seasonal events continue to mark the calendar, offering moments of celebration rooted in tradition.
From Podere Conti, both the Ligurian coast and the Versilia coastline are easily reached for day trips.
Fishing villages, seaside towns and coastal paths — including areas of the Cinque Terre — provide a lively contrast to the quiet of the countryside. Nearby towns and cities across Northern Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia-Romagna further enrich the experience for those wishing to explore beyond the hills.
Beyond the estate, there is no single way to experience the region.
Some guests choose long walks and quiet villages; others combine countryside with sea or cultural visits. We are always happy to offer suggestions during your stay, while leaving space for discovery and spontaneity.
Detailed information, routes and practical guidance are made available to guests once they are here.
