Montemagno
Village in the hills, outside Pisa

Montemagno is a protected Medieval village.  It sits on a small plateu at 200 meters above the sea, overlooking Pisa.  Hidden from the normal tourist, but still not far from the splendid cities and the ocean.  A perfect place to retreat after an eventful day in Tuscany.

There are less than 250 inhabitants in Montemagno.  But there is a small store and a small Tuscan trattoria.  Less than 2 km away is the larger village Calci.  There you will find bakery, butcher, pharmacy, several trattorias, gelateria, tourist information, and so on.

Montemagno is a suitable starting point for trips all over Tuscany.  With, or without car; public transport to downtown Pisa.  From Pisa you can take the train or bus to Lucca, bus to the ocean, or the train to Firenze and Siena.

 


We arrange harvest of grapes in September.

There is public parking at the foot of the village.
