Pisa’s Galileo Galilei Airport is the second main port of entry for visitors coming to Tuscany. This area is famous for the Leaning Tower, the glitzy beach establishments on the Versilia Coast, and the lovely town of Lajatico, birthplace of Andrea Bocelli and - among others less-known sites - his Teatro del Silenzio outdoor concert venue. Nestled in the amazing Tuscan countryside, the village of Chianni is one of the local jewels carefully built and preserved throughout the centuries - an ideal place to immerse yourself in nature. This town is surrounded by oak woods and cultivated hills – mostly vineyards and olive groves, which make for rich wines and excellent olive oil. Built on two floors, Izilda transports you to a magical atmosphere and transforms your holiday into a unique experience.

Famous for the Leaning Tower, Pisa is a must-see once-in-a-lifetime destination for visitors to Italy. However, while exploring the Miracle Square is something that cannot be missed, the unique and picturesque villages set in the surrounding areas of Pisa are worth a visit. The most famous area to explore is the hills of Volterra, a medieval city embraced by rolling hills where you can admire Etruscan and Roman sites and learn the alabaster art from local craftsmen. Going just a bit further, reach San Gimignano and do not forget to pick up some wine on the way to enjoy at the villa.
