The panoramic view then extends over the towns of the Svizzera Pesciatina, such as the borgo of Sorana, renowned for the production of IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta = Protected Geographical Indication) beans and its August festival. We are in an area that brings together the best of the excellences that distinguish the renowned province of Pistoia, where you are spoiled for choice. Among the wonders that can be easily reached and discovered from this privileged location, are the well-known towns of the area, such as Massa and Cozzile, Montecatini Alto and Montecarlo di Lucca.
