Footpaths lead through the woods to a crystal clear river with little waterfalls and rock pools for swimming, or into the hills and mountains beyond. Comano is situated at the head of the Taverone valley with a backdrop of the breathtaking Apennine Mountains, a great spot for hikers, cyclists and lovers of nature. The town, which is surrounded by the farming community, is known for its annual horse festival in the autumn.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The hills which encircle Lunigiana create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere whilst the blend of the mountains and sea are extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina origins and for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hour away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all within an hours drive.
