On the flight to Italy we watch a move about Michelangelo and got inspired to visit a marble quarry. I was surprised to find a Viatour outing that fit our plan perfectly. This seems to be very popular with European tourist and there were several jeeps on the tour with us. No one we had spoken to that had been to Tuscany had ever mentioned seeing this sight- well worth it- First it's in the north of Tuscan and a different terrain and landscape, and seeing how marble is quarried now and in the time of Michelangelo was really a unique opportunity. On the way, stop in the town of Pietrasanta which is an artist workshop area and a lovely town.

What an amazing place. I have been in caves before but nothing like this. I would happily have spent hours there, it feels like stepping back into the dawn of the world. Our tour guide Noemi was brilliant, incredibly knowledgeable, talking about the discovery and exploration of the caves, enthusiastic and thoughtful, making sure all the group was managing, chatting to the children, and working in photo stops. You will definitely need a fleece and proper shoes with grip. It is cold but not freezing, we were all ok in shorts. As it lasts 2 Hours, It is ESSENTIAL to be reasonably fit for this; there are nearly 2000 steps, lots of the ground is uneven, some of it is slightly slippery. I wouldn’t recommend for children under age 5 unless they are very sure footed, or for anyone who finds stairs tricky. We saw one pensioner having to be escorted out after only the first set of steps. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a change from more usual tourist spots. It really is incredible. Well worth the entry fee. Had we realised how long the tour was we would have come earlier in the day so we had time to go on the various mine tours and to the museums as well.

Because of covid only the 1 hour tour was available. Very nice cave with audio tour. Next time we will try the 2 hour tour down in the cave.

karst cave located just one kilometer from the city center of Montecatini Terme. immersed in a large natural park that contains other small surprises like an ancient gunpowder deposit made more than 100 years ago in an active natural cave and a small climbing wall the structure has ample parking, bar and restaurant service the main cave is a place of winter hibernation by a colony of bats, hence the choice to close early November to reopen more or less in the Easter period
