Who these villages are for
These villages are for those who have already seen the main ones (Fivizzano, Bagnone, Pontremoli, Equi Terme) and want to explore the more hidden Lunigiana. Don't expect attractions, museums or restaurants in every village. Expect silence, stone, authenticity.
Note: distances and services are not verified for most of these villages. Use Google Maps to plan your route.
