Before setting off, visit the castle where you will find delicious dishes in romantic wicker baskets: typical products from Lunigiana ranging from herb pies to wonderful local cured meats, from authentic cheeses of the Apuan Alps to bread baked in the wood-fired oven from the 1400s, still perfectly functioning and also the typical focaccette cooked on texts, the sgabei, and the fresh Vermentino from Luni to complete it, surrounded by unspoiled nature among hundreds of olive trees, with fragrant lavender and lush broom plants nestled between hay bales or in the shade of a tree to breathe in a magical and timeless place that offers infinite emotions.
