If you’re an opera fan, you certainly know one Giacomo Antonio Domenico Michele Secondo Maria Puccini. Born in Lucca, a bronzed Giacomo sits stately on his favorite chair in his piazza in Lucca.
After working at Torre del Lago near the Tuscan Coast, Mr. Puccini built a villa there around 1900. It’s now a museum dedicated to the composer and his work.
I mention all this because every year there’s a festival of Puccini’s operas at Torre del Lago Puccini, and this year’s edition started yesterday. Every year 40,000 people turn up for the month long festival and to bask in the beauty of the lake-side setting.
Torre del Lago Puccini Vacation Rental
Can you imagine what it would be like to experience the festival by simply putting on your shoes and walking to it? What if you had an apartment in the town and could experience things just like a native? And it’s just far enough away from the venues that “nessun dorma” wouldn’t apply to you.
When you weren’t going to opera, you could stroll around the lake, or go to the Mediterranean beaches. They’re not far away.
The Torre del Lago Puccini holiday get away shown on the left is a mere “700 m from the centre of Torre del Lago, 3.8 km from the sea, 50 m from the lake.”
You could be right there in the center of all of it, even the new stuff. You see, a new open air theater was dedicated June 15, 2008 and it’s part of a music park dedicated to Puccini.
Don’t you wish you were there?
I am interested in renting a flat in Torre del Lago for the month of August next year, 2009. I prefer a two bedroom flat with a kitchen, bathroom, clothes washer and high speed internet connection. I would consider renting a two bedroom, two bathroom flat if available. A lift is necessary if the apartment is located above the 1st floor.
Please tell me if you have an apartment available for the month of August and the TOTAL COST of renting the apartment including all utilities, air conditioning, charges for linens, cleaning charges and all fees including rental agency fees.
Thank you for your consideration of my request.
Best wishes,
