About Massarosa
Massarosa is a municipality of sixteen hamlets spread over lakeside, plains and pre-Apennine hills, rather than one centre. Lake Massaciuccoli, the remnant of an ancient coastal lagoon, is the big feature, with wooden boardwalks at the Lipu Oasis and paths along the shore for watching migrating birds; black-winged stilts nest near it in spring. Higher up, medieval Gualdo mixes a mountain feel with a view of the sea, and Villa Baldini at Campignano is the best known of 27 noble villas. The homes sit close together, nearly all with a garden, many with a fireplace, and a good number sleep eight or more. Evenings are quiet and village-scale, and out of season the draw is the trails around the villas.
