Choosing the right villa
The villas below are thirty to sixty minutes from arrivals, on the Lucca plain to the north or the Castelfalfi estate inland toward Florence.
Choose the base, then plan the journey
For a villa near Pisa, compare the journey from the individual property to the part of the city you want to visit. Time to the edge of town is different from time to park and reach a museum or restaurant. Ask about the access road, parking and the return journey if an evening out is part of your plans.
Use the Tuscany map and driving-distance guide to place the area within your wider itinerary. Check the airport comparison against the actual villa and your flight times, rather than choosing an airport from the city name alone.
For a family or group, make a second shortlist based on life at the villa: room distribution, en-suite bathrooms, indoor dining and the nearest useful shops. A good city base should also work on the days when everyone wants to stay at the villa.
The arrival day that works
Pisa's airport sits ten minutes from the city centre, which is unusual and useful. The pattern we suggest: land, collect the car or meet the driver, give the Miracles ninety minutes while the adrenaline of arriving carries you, take lunch by the Arno, and reach the villa by mid-afternoon with the whole first evening intact. The alternative, driving straight past and coming back later in the week, works too, and is the better plan on a Saturday in August.
North or inland
North of Pisa is the Lucca plain: historic villas in their own parkland, the walled city for evenings, the Versilia beaches at forty minutes. Inland to the east is Castelfalfi, a two-thousand-seven-hundred-acre estate with its own hotel, restaurants and spa, which suits guests who want everything on one property. San Gimignano and Volterra are half an hour from there.

- How far are your villas from Pisa airport?
- Thirty to sixty minutes. The Lucca-plain villas are around thirty to forty; the Castelfalfi estate is a little under an hour.
- Is Pisa or Florence the better airport for Tuscany?
- Pisa, usually, for western and central Tuscany: more flights, easier roads out, and the drive to most of these villas is under an hour. Florence suits Chianti and the east. The comparison by region is in our airports guide.
- Is it worth stopping in Pisa on the way to the villa?
- For half a day, yes, and mostly on the way in rather than as a separate trip. Go before ten or after five, when the Campo dei Miracoli is not shoulder to shoulder.
