Where Tuscany meets the Italian Riviera.
So much to explore, all within easy reach.
From the Cinque Terre and Portofino to the Apuan Alps, Versilia and the timeless villages of Lunigiana, I Ginepri is perfectly placed to explore some of Italy's most iconic destinations.
Explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, colourful fishing villages, elegant seaside resorts, mountain landscapes and historic cities — before returning each evening to the peace of your private home in Tuscany.
The Lunigiana
The Land of the Moon
Ancient stone villages, medieval castles and quiet country roads tell the story of one of Tuscany's least discovered regions.
Traditionally known as "The Land of the Moon," the Lunigiana is a place where history, nature and local traditions still shape everyday life. Here you'll find family-run trattorias, weekly markets, centuries-old castles and small villages where life moves at its own pace.
This is a land best explored slowly — stopping for a coffee in a village square, wandering through narrow streets or sharing a plate of freshly made panigacci.

The Apuan Alps
The Apuan Alps are unlike any other mountains in Tuscany.
Rising directly above the Ligurian Sea, they create one of Italy's most extraordinary landscapes, where rugged peaks and the Mediterranean exist side by side.
Whether you're looking for a gentle walk through chestnut forests, a scenic drive or a full day in the mountains, the Apuan Alps reveal a side of Tuscany that surprises almost everyone.
The Gulf of Poets

Just thirty minutes away, quiet country roads lead to the colourful fishing villages, hidden coves and sparkling waters of the Gulf of Poets on the Ligurian coast.
Spend the day swimming in crystal-clear waters, enjoying fresh seafood by the harbour or simply watching the boats drift across the bay.
Whether you choose the elegance of Lerici, the charm of Tellaro or the timeless beauty of Portovenere, the coast is close enough for a day trip — yet every evening ends back in the peace of I Ginepri.
Cinque Terre
One of Italy's most iconic landscapes, just under an hour away.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Cinque Terre are famous for their colourful villages, dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear waters. Explore by train, boat or on foot, discover hidden harbours and enjoy long seaside lunches overlooking the Mediterranean.
Then leave the crowds behind and return to the tranquillity of I Ginepri, where your own private home awaits.

Less than an hour from I Ginepri, it's an easy escape before returning to the quiet of the countryside.
Portofino and the Gulf of Tigullio
Around an hour away, discover one of Italy's most celebrated stretches of coastline. From the iconic harbour of Portofino to the elegant waterfronts of Santa Margherita Ligure and the picturesque villages of the Gulf of Tigullio, this is the Italian Riviera at its finest.
Spend the day strolling along marinas, enjoying fresh seafood overlooking the sea or simply taking in one of the Mediterranean's most beautiful landscapes before returning to the peace of I Ginepri.

The Flavours of Tuscany and Liguria
Sitting where Tuscany meets Liguria, I Ginepri is surrounded by two of Italy's richest culinary traditions.
Discover the rustic flavours of Lunigiana, the wines of the Colli di Luni, the seafood of the Ligurian coast and the simple ingredients that have shaped local cooking for generations.
Whether you spend the afternoon at a family-run trattoria, enjoy a seaside dinner overlooking the Mediterranean or cook together in the villa with produce from local markets, every meal becomes part of your journey through this remarkable corner of Italy.
The timeless cities
Some of Tuscany's most beautiful cities are within easy reach.
Spend the morning wandering through Lucca's Renaissance streets, admire the Leaning Tower of Pisa or enjoy an afternoon in elegant Parma, all before returning to the peace of I Ginepri.
The best part isn't how much there is to see.
It's knowing that, at the end of every day, you come back to a place that feels entirely your own.
