Located in the municipality of Casciana Terme Lari, Lari sits at a high altitude for Tuscany. The village is centered around a castle that offers incredible panoramic views of the Italian countryside. It is home to about 6,000 people.

Lari impresses with its picturesque streets lined with historic, colorful buildings. The medieval fortress of Castello dei Vicari is the village's calling card. Built in the 11th century, its walls, towers, and courtyard are well-preserved to this day.
