Holidays in Ponsacco

An introduction to Ponsacco

Holidays in Ponsacco will give you the option of either plunging headlong into the tourist whirl of art, culture, nightlife and entertainment to be found in both Pisa and Florence – or to remain slightly off the well-trodden path, enjoying a small town with a life and personality all its own.

Pisa is just 20 kilometres away, and Florence can be reached in around half an hour by car – less if you drive like the locals! – but you may want to spend the first few days of your holidays in Ponsacco exploring the town itself. Wednesday is market day and it'll give you a great insight into local life with its cheerful bustle of brightly coloured stalls selling fresh regional produce, wine and olive oils. A little more serene, the creamy church and bell tower standing in the main square are rewarding visits, as are the many neo-classical monuments and charming little piazzas scattered throughout the town's centre.

Then it's time to let your last minute holidays in Ponsacco take you off into the countryside. Drive over to picturesque villages like Chianni and Lari if you want your cheap holidays to Ponsacco to provide you with the perfect picture of rural idylls. Then park up and take to the woodlands. They're cool and dappled and, if you walk quietly and use your eyes, you might even glimpse the native wild boars and deer.

Quiet a contrast to Florence then, on your summer holidays in Ponsacco.
