Peccioli is a hill town in the Pisa countryside known for its open-air contemporary art, and most homes here have a private pool. Pisa airport is about 40 minutes away, but you need a car.
Peccioli is a comune in the Province of Pisa, about 30 km south-east of Pisa and 50 km south-west of Florence, on a hilltop above the Valdera at 144 metres. It is called the little capital of contemporary art: the MACCA open-air museum gathers more than 70 mostly large installations across the town and its hamlets, including a coloured walkway that ends at a view of the valley and a wall of photographs of eyes. The town keeps its medieval layout, and on Piazza del Popolo the Palazzo Pretorio is now a museum of icons. The homes sit close together around the town. Most have a private pool, a garden and air conditioning, and they are family-sized, often sleeping six or more.
The open-air museum has more than 70 works, including the Presenze sculptures, 3 to 9 metres high, at the Fonte Mazzola amphitheatre.
A hamlet with permanent works by Alicja Kwade and Patrick Tuttofuoco, and house facades painted by David Tremlett.
Andrea Bocelli's birthplace, and home of the Theatre of Silence.
Vineyards along the Colline Pisane Wine Route.
About 30 km north-west of Peccioli, with the airport roughly 40 minutes by road from the town.
Pisa airport is the one to use, about 40 minutes by road (some 23 miles). Public transport means a train from Pisa Centrale to Pontedera-Casciana Terme and then a bus, around two hours, so a car is the practical option for the countryside. Florence is about 50 km away.
Most homes have a private pool and air conditioning, which points to the warmer months as the main season. MACCA's works stand in the open air in the town and its hamlets, so a visit does not depend on gallery hours; check the museum website for the indoor collections, such as the Palazzo Pretorio Museum, before you go.
Yes, about 40 minutes by road, some 23 miles. There is no direct public transport link from the airport, so you will need a car for the run out to the town.

Not directly. The public route is a train from Pisa Centrale to Pontedera-Casciana Terme and then a bus, about two hours from the airport area, so most visitors drive.
Yes, because Terricciola's vineyards are on the Colline Pisane Wine Route nearby. Lajatico, Andrea Bocelli's birthplace, is also close.
