We are for 3 days in Lucca , it. We need recomendations to travel around very near , we have a car,just a day trip going and coming back to Lucca de same day

Go north up the Serchio river valley, to Barga http://www.barganews.com/ and maybe beyond - the scenery is fantastic and there are some interesting things to do depending on what you are into. The Wind Cave is up there - http://www.florence-journal.com/flor..._del_vent.html

Sillico is super quaint and there are many guided trails if you want a walk in the forest: http://www.florence-on-line.com/arou...arfangana.html

We love this area - make sure to stop and see the Devil's Bridge also, a fantastic piece of medieval engineering.

The obvious destination from Lucca are Pisa and Florence, but I would not drive to either as the train service is very good.

You could do Volterra or Siena (drive of about 1h45) or San Gimignano (1h30)

North of Lucca the areas around Barga, Carrara and the Garfagnano are supposed to be worth seeing.

If you would like to go to the sea, it is not too far to day trip to Lerici or Portovenere, and from there you can catch boats to visit le Cinque Terre. (Lerici has the easier parking, and it is best to go mid-week to the coast, not weekends.)

You might want to google up information about Pietrasanta (and arts colony) and Castelnuovo di Magra, a marvelously preserved historic town with a fine restaurant (Armando). It's near the marble quarries of Cararra.

For purely scenic driving, head up into the Serchio valley.

The above suggestions are good. Alternatively, around Lucca you can visit a number of villas from the rich, olive-growing past. Here's a link: http://www.welcometuscany.it/tuscany...cca_villas.htm

Warnings: Doublecheck the open hours. And when we toured the Villa Marlia grounds, the tour guide/docent only spoke Italian.

Barga is well worth seeing - it's a charming hilltown with a
lovely church; lots of restos, and, of course, the Scottish
connection which is a hoot, mon.

Just above Lucca in the hills is the village where a woodcarver gave birth to Pinnochio - the village now treads on its Pinnochio links - an off-beat excursion but only a few miles away.
