Casciana Terme suits groups who want a house with a pool in the Pisan hills, near a thermal spa and 35 minutes from Pisa airport. Homes are widely scattered across the hills around the town rather than in it, so the spa, shops and meals out all need a car.
Casciana Terme is a spa village in the province of Pisa, now part of the municipality of Casciana Terme Lari, which spreads over the gentle slopes of the Pisan hills. Until 1956 it was called Bagni di Casciana. Its spa tradition goes back to the Middle Ages, and the warm waters are rich in bicarbonate, sulphates and calcium, and there is an outdoor balneotherapy pool. Around it, small villages such as Lorenzana, Orciano Pisano and Fauglia sit among wineries, farms and olive mills. Our homes are widely scattered around the town, many of them a drive from the spa. Nights are quiet.
A medieval village in the same municipality, dominated by the Castle of the Vicars and known for its cherries.
A hill village long seen as a status symbol by wealthy Tuscan families, and known as a breeding centre for owls.

Pisa airport is about 35 minutes away by car. Without one, take the train from Pisa Centrale to Pontedera-Casciana Terme and bus 410 on to the town, over two hours in all. With homes this scattered, a car is essential.
