Spring is in the air with milder temperatures in this early April which precedes the Easter celebrations. Longer days and good weather spread good vibes and the desire to go out and make short trips or excursions out of town, to discover cities and places never visited before or some inside tips that we would like to know better.
Here are some ideas to put on your agenda for your Easter holidays in the Piana di Lucca.

June, poppies and fireflies. When they come to light up the nights, it's dark that summer has arrived, you can be outside in the evening with friends and family and they are one of the most beautiful natural spectacles of the summer period.
We see them twirling in the night sky in the fields or woods, but also near the city, if conditions permit you can see those little yellow-green lights flashing on and off in a courtship dance.
We invite you to take a walk after dark, in search of summer.
