Casciana Terme Lari, spa town, castle and the Pisan hills
Since 2014 two quite different places have formed the single municipality of Casciana Terme Lari, in the hills south-east of Pisa. Casciana Terme is the spa town, with warm springs that have been used for centuries. Lari is a hill village gathered around the Castello dei Vicari, also known for its cherries and its pasta factory. Lower down, towards Pontedera, lies Perignano, which grew up around furniture factories.
For buyers the contrast is sharp. Down in the valley there are newer houses, industrial buildings and straight roads, with Pontedera and the Florence to Pisa and Livorno dual carriageway a few minutes away. In the hills there are villages, old farmhouses and smallholdings among olive groves and vineyards, often on narrow, sloping lanes and further from shops and schools. If you are looking at a farmhouse in the hills, first find out the state of the roof, floors and drains, and look at how steep the slope is.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 12,202 residents in 2023, down 1.3% on 2011. The estimated average age is 47.7, slightly above the province (46.9); over-65s make up 26.3% and foreign residents 7.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average. Sports facilities are plentiful, with 17 recorded.
All 37 municipalities in the province of Pisa are in seismic zone 3, but here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.141 g, high for this band. Stone houses in the hills, often extended over the years, deserve a check of the walls and of how walls and floors are tied together.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report reaches the plot. In the hills the thing to watch is landslides, in the valley flooding from ditches and streams, and both are checked for the individual address.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
