Villa la Rocca is located on the top of the hill of Monsummano Alto, a medieval village in the province of Pistoia, located at 340 meters above sea level. This ancient village is characterized by 3 architectural elements: the Church of San Niccolao (in Roman-Gothic style) in the center, the old pentagonal watchtower on the left and the remains of the stone Arch on the right.
In the small square of the village (called Piazza Castello, where you can park your car), you will find the old “Foresteria”, now converted into a lovely restaurant with panoramic view over the valley.
From the hill of Monsummano Alto you can admire a breathtaking panorama on the Valdinievole area and on 6 of the 10 provinces of Tuscany.
At the foot of the hill is Monsummano Terme, renowned for its spas and and the well-known society specialized in the artisan production of chocolate and precious blends of coffee.
Also the nearby Montecatini Terme is a renowned spa resort, well-known for its historic Liberty-style villas and for its monumental thermal baths belonging to the Tettuccio complex.
Both Monsummano Terme and Montecatini Terme offer all the necessary services: shops, restaurants, bars, pharmacies, post offices etc.
Moreover, both towns are located about halfway between Florence and the Versilia coast so you can easily reach the well-known seaside resorts (such as Viareggio or Forte dei Marmi) thanks to the nearby A11 motorway.

Panoramic swimming pool (4 x 6 m).

There is a public parking in the small square 50 meters from the villa.
