The village is a perfect place from which to enjoy trekking and is surrounded by footpaths. Restaurant/ bar/shop in village only a 3 mins stroll.
Coast/Beach
50 mins by car or train are the classic multi coloured Italian coastal towns of Portovenere and Lerici where safe swimming can be enjoyed, friendly cafe's and many good restaurants welcome summer visitors. Enjoy a boat trip or train to the Cinque Terre (5 lands) where the villages are almost built into the cliff faces. Highly recommended, A great day out!

Metra has several small shops including a cheese makers (must visit and sample), a butchery and also a general store, which is attached to the welcoming village restaurant/bar which is open all day every day for coffee/ice cream or very good meals at good prices. There are several other restaurants in nearby villages which offer the same great value. There are 2 local train stations allowing easy journeys through the scenic Garfagnana valley towards Barga, Lucca, Pisa and Florence or West towards Le'rici and the world famous 'Cinque Terre' coastal villages.
