The local inns and farm houses give guests the possibility to taste delicious food and wine specialities from the surrounding area. Porcari's tourist offer is complemented by modern residences, that give tourists the possibility to enjoy well-kept spaces and excellent services and facilities.

Porcari's old town is dominated by the churches of St. Giusto and St. Maria. The former is characterized by a beautiful neo-Medieval facade, and it is flanked by an imposing bell tower that is largely made of white stone. Its interior cherishes a precious fresco cycle by Michele Marcucci. The sweet hill that dominates the city is topped by the impressive remains of an ancient medieval castle.
Porcari is idyllically set just in the middle of a glorious countryside peppered with ancient vines and lush olive groves. Together with the nearby Montecarlo and Altopascio, Porcari produces fine Colline Lucchesi DOC and Montecarlo DOC wines. Other important local staples are cheeses, mushrooms, culatello and salami.
Porcari makes the ideal base for visiting the fascinating Ville Lucchesi, that distribute around the nearby Capannori. Not to be missed is the huge Villa Torrigiani, that was built between the XV and XVI century and boasts a splendid facade bearing a double order of arches. It is totally surrounded by a lush garden that is embellished by beautiful fountains, artificial waterfalls and splendid lakes.
