La Corte Maria Cristina is composed of independent units located in the center of the ancient village of Quercia (MS) in the heart of Lunigiana. Completely renovated, they maintain the charm of old houses combined with the practicality of modern furnishings. The village of Quercia is 5 km away. from the Aulla exit of the Parma-La Spezia motorway A15, 50 km. from the beaches of Versilia and Viareggio, 35 km. from the Cinque Terre and Portovenere, 80 km. from Pisa, its monuments and the airport, 150 km. from Florence and its Renaissance beauty. A few meters from the entrance, a marvelous viewpoint allows a total view of the Apuan Alps, with marble quarries famous throughout the world, but also rich in nature, trekking and mountaineering trails; from the windows of the house it is possible to see the mountains of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, full of paths in the countryside, natural parks and ski resorts. Next to the church of San Pietro, very close to the entrance of the structure, there is the bell tower from which the sock of the biggest Befana in the world, registered in the World Guinness Record, is lowered every year on January 6th.
