Discover The Many Attractions Of Massa Town!

Situated beside the Apuan Alps in the Frigido River Valley is the thriving tourist town of Massa. This coastal town in Massa Carrara province is twinned with the marble excavation town of Carrara which is located right beside it.

Massa was and still is a thriving economy due to its proximity to the vast marble mines which were excavated for centuries.

Stay in a stunning villa with a swimming pool in Massa where you can experience the very finest of comfort and scenery after your thrilling days of exploration!

Torta di Riso alla Carrarina, or “Carrara-style Rice Cake”, may not be the sexiest sounding dessert but it is actually quite the delicious treat.

As one might imagine from the name, the dessert originates from the town of Carrara in the northwest of Tuscany, a town primarily famous for its marble quarries that were beloved of Michelangelo. However, like the rest of Tuscany, it is also well-known for its comforting and tasty peasant food tradition. Torta di Riso alla Carrarina is no exception.

If you’re touring through the scenic province of Massa Carrara on your next vacation to Tuscany then be sure to stop off in the famous town of white marble called Carrara! Situated on the Carrione River, this thriving town is twinned with the neighbour town of Massa.

Together, Massa Carrara, as they are commonly called became a huge marble mining industry which exported this precious stone throughout Italy and Europe.

Stay in a charming vacation villa in Massa Carrara province where you can easily explore the entire province within a day or two.

The spectacular province of Massa Carrara lies at the very north of Tuscany and offers a splendid collection of towns, attractions and scenery for your entertainment. There are seventeen main towns here, two of which are twinned together as its capital. These are the marble mining towns of Massa and Carrara on the northern Tuscan coast.

The pristine white and blue veined marble mountains that surround these towns became the source of their great wealth. The marble was excavated and used in the construction of the Pantheon in Rome and even Michelangelo’s masterpiece, ‘David’.

There are many reasons to be interested in the quarries and landscape at Carrara. Firstly, and perhaps most obviously, it is visually stunning – rugged and romantic. Then, of course, the marble produced there is still considered the best in the world and was a favourite of that genius, Michelangelo, for his sculptures. One of the less well-known attractions to this distinctive and beautiful corner of the world, is movies. Many have been filmed in the area including Carlo Verdone's comedy “Al lupo, al lupo”, “The Agony and the Ecstasy” with Charlton Heston as Michelangelo and Fabrizio Cattini's critically acclaimed “Maternity Blues- Il bene dal male” in the nearby town of Marina di Massa.

View of base and walls at Malaspina Castle

Perched atop a rocky hill with breath-taking views across valleys and out to the coast, Malaspina Castle's picturesque appearance does not belie its troubled past. However, it is this combination of historical interest, morbid fascination and beauty that makes it such a curious place to visit. Find a luxury villa in Tuscany and you could spend a day exploring the castle for yourself.

The first records of this castle in Massa, Tuscany date back to 1084 and, in 1269, the original structure was levelled during a political dispute with the army from Lucca. It was later rebuilt with multiple periods of alteration, additions and redecoration during the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries.
