Monzone has a good selection of shops and a trattoria serving some of the best antipasti to be found in the area: Da Remo on Via C. Battisti tel: 0585 97933, (Via C. Battisti is the main street through Monzone so you can't miss it. Very good food - the antipasti is a must, friendly efficient service with a smile but it is closed Monday.)

Monzone has a bank, shops and a train station with a local train to Lucca, La Spezia and Pisa, although they do go on the slower more scenic route! Just half-hour east is the ski resorts of the Aulpan Alps and half hour west is the coastal town of Marina de Massa.

Lunigiana is situated in the northern corner of Tuscany, Italy. It is an unspoiled area of breathtaking natural beauty set between the Apennine Mountains and the Mediterranean coastline of Italy. Road and air easily access this sunlit land of chesnut covered hills crowned by medieval villages. Here you will enjoy the very best of Italy - wonderful landscapes, good food and a warm Italian welcome. As well as the opportunities for sightseeing, Lunigiana is the perfect destination for walking, bike riding or horse riding in the hills of Tuscany and skiing in the winter.

Monzone's neighbouring town of Equi Terme is a popular Italian spa town, famous for the medicinal properties of its sulphurous thermal waters, is another special experience. You can lounge by the thermal pool, take spa treatments, or get a massage in the newly remodelled and expanded spa.
