Pisa is one of the most captivating cities in Tuscany, a jumble of Romanesque buildings, grand Gothic churches, gleaming piazzas and world-class art galleries, all set along the banks of the Arno River.
The city is, of course, best known for a certain leaning tower, tilting since its completion in 1372, but there's so much more to discover here. Home of an elite university, the streets are lined with cafés and bars, as well as an impressive number of Romanesque, Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
From Pisa, it's just a short drive to the sparkling Tuscan coastline and valleys dotted with olive groves, forests and wineries.

Pisa is steeped in romance - from its gothic churches and Renaissance squares to its gleaming palazzos hiding sultry wine bars and candlelit restaurants. Take a walk along the Arno river where you'll spot the tiny Santa Maria della Spina church, before heading to the Piazza della Berlina for a glass of local Tuscan wine.
Pisa's many art galleries are filled with renaissance and Italian masterpieces which are sure to stir your soul. When evening falls, there are plenty of date night options to choose from, with the best spots tucked away in the historic centre and the charming neighbourhoods of San Martino and Sant'Antonio.

Staying in our Pisa villas, guests can experience city, sea and countryside, a rare combination in Tuscany, with beautiful beaches just a short drive from the heart of the city.
Start your journey in Pisa at the world-famous Piazza dei Miracoli, home to the iconic Leaning Tower – a 56m white-marble structure which has been tilting since its completion in 1372. The landmark is actually the bell tower for the marble cathedral that sits next door, another stunning feature in this iconic Pisa piazza.
Pisa is a lived-in, vibrant city with a strong local spirit and a buzzing student scene. Wander its streets and you'll find plenty to do, like stopping for a coffee (or spritz) in café-lined squares, exploring galleries like the Palazzo Blu and shopping on the buzzing Corso Italia and the more up-market Borgo Stretto.
The beaches near Pisa are beautiful, with the sprawling sandy Viareggio just 15-minutes away and upmarket Forte dei Marmi just a 30-minute journey from any of our villas. Both are easily reached by cheap, frequent trains that connect Pisa with the rest of Italy.
Our villas in Pisa are situated either close to the city or tucked into the lush Tuscan countryside surrounding it, and most come with their own private pool - ideal for cooling off after a day of exploring. .
From the grand buildings of the Piazza dei Miracoli to the myriad of museums and galleries in the cobbled streets of the old town, Pisa is steeped in history, and there are plenty of historical and cultural sites to see on your Pisa villa holiday. The iconic Leaning Tower is a must - standing crooked in the Piazza dei Miracoli alongside the magnificent Romanesque Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the free-standing Baptistry, which took over two centuries to complete.
The Piazza dei Miracoli is also home to one of the best curated museums in Tuscany, the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, housing an impressive collection of tapestries, priceless paintings, sculptures and rich embroideries. Elsewhere in the city, you’ll find the National Museum of San Matteo with its ecclesiastical collections, and the Palazzo Blu – Pisa’s most renowned art gallery.
Pisa is the perfect place for a family villa holiday, offering culture and cosmopolitan vibes for the adults, and plenty of fun-filled attractions for the kids. For a great day out, head out of the city to the Piccolo Mondo waterpark with slides and pools - an absolute must for families travelling with children!
Alternatively, the dazzling Tuscan coast is just a short drive or train journey away, the most family-friendly beach being Blue Flag Viareggio with its sprawling white sands, facilities, sunbeds and umbrellas.

Inland, Pisa villa guests can explore the rugged countryside that surrounds the city on foot or by mountain bike. For a fantastic day out, head south for the famous Tarpons Wake Park in Pontedera – around 30km away – a famous kitesurfing school and activity centre in the region built around a big lake. .
