GETTING AROUND
No trip to Lucca is complete without a bicycle tour on the historic walls, the piazza Santa Maria lot is the best spot to park, make sure you get there before 10 am to beat the crowds and the sun.

SAFETY RULES
Walk, don’t run. The number one pool safety rule is to never, ever run near a swimming pool. Slipping on wet concrete is a real concern and serious injuries can result.
No diving in the shallow end. Only dive in designated areas, and never dive into an above-ground pool. Diving injuries can have a lifetime of consequences.
No roughhousing. Drowning accidents can occur during rough play in the pool, especially with young children. No jumping on each other in the pool, or holding anyone underwater.
Don’t play around drains and covers. Even when properly equipped, pool drains and covers can be hazardous. Never play near drains or suctions. Entrapments occur when someone or something becomes stuck to these drains or suctions and pose a serious danger to young children who are too small to break away.
Never swim alone. No one should swim alone and children should absolutely never be left unsupervised in a pool, even if they are proven accomplished swimmers. Drowning accidents are vastly more likely to occur when the victim is alone or unsupervised.
Sun safety is part of the deal. Always wear sunscreen when swimming outdoors and wear appropriate clothing poolside. This is especially important for kids.
Out of the pool and inside when storms threaten. Lightning can strike suddenly, even in the absence of rain or with blue sky visible. Take cover when a storm approaches and remain out of the water until at least 30 minutes after the last lightning is sighted or thunder heard.
Parents and caregivers should know basics of CPR and first aid. Always have a phone available. Children should be taught to notify an adult immediately if anyone is having difficulty in the water.
Due to its favourable position in the northern hills around Lucca, Fattoria Mansi Bernardini produces top quality extra virgin olive oil. Our olive oil is ablend of 3 local varieties, Frantoio 60%, Leccino 30% and Maulino 10%.
The olives are picked by hand and then taken to the mill within 48 hours to ensure the best quality olive oil. The Fattoria has approximately 5000 olive trees of which 3000 are around 100 years old and the remaining 2000 were planted in the last 30 years.
Cold pressed at the Frantoio located in Matraia, is sold worldwide. At the office we sell in cans of 5, 3, 1 litres, 500,250ml or in bottles of 750ml or 500ml.
