Romantic atmosphere

The Garden of Camellias is a cozy bed and breakfast nestled in the lush countryside of Lucca, located in the district of Badia di Cantignano, between Lucca and Pisa. The establishment is a beautifully renovated ancient convent dating back to the 17th century, as evidenced by the engraving from 1641 at the entrance. Here, the authentic atmosphere of rustic Tuscany blends with modern comfort, creating a harmonious balance that makes for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

The rooms are bright and thoughtfully decorated, each equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, and a mini-fridge. In the morning, guests can enjoy a generous Italian-style buffet breakfast featuring homemade pastries, yogurt, seasonal fruit, muesli, tarts, and freshly baked croissants that can be filled to taste. A gluten-free option is also available upon request.

The spacious outdoor garden, furnished with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and children's games, is ideal for unwinding on sunny days or reading a book in the shade of the camellias. The property also offers mountain bike rentals for those who wish to explore the area on two wheels.

The location is perfect for visiting Lucca, Pisa, and the Versilia coast in a day, all while enjoying the tranquility of the countryside. Nearby attractions include the picturesque Nottolini Aqueduct, the Via Francigena, and the outdoor pool “Le 4 Torri,” accessible with an AICS membership card. The name of the B&B is inspired by the nearby Village of Ancient Camellias of Lucca, a local landmark for nature lovers and those interested in Tuscan traditions.

Irene and Nicola, along with their two daughters, live in the same house and warmly welcome guests with hospitality and discretion, offering assistance and suggestions to discover the wonders of the area. The entire first floor has been specially designed for hospitality, with well-maintained and inviting spaces to make every traveler feel at home.

Area Campagna

The Camellia Garden is situated in the district of Badia di Cantignano, a quaint rural village within the municipality of Capannori, nestled among the gentle hills of Lucca and the foothills of the Monti Pisani. The area is characterized by lush nature and a history that dates back to Roman times, providing an authentic and tranquil setting, ideal for those seeking relaxation without straying too far from the main centers of Tuscany.

The location is perfect for those looking to explore the cultural and scenic wonders of the region. Just 5 kilometers away lies the historic center of Lucca, known for its famous Renaissance walls, Romanesque churches, charming squares, and artisan shops. Pisa, home to the renowned Piazza dei Miracoli and the Leaning Tower, can be reached in about 15 kilometers, while the Versilia coast — with its well-equipped beaches, the promenade in Viareggio, and the elegant allure of Forte dei Marmi — is approximately a half-hour drive away.

For walking or cycling enthusiasts, there are picturesque routes along the Via Francigena and near the Nottolini Aqueduct, a 19th-century structure set in greenery that connects the hills to Lucca. Close to the property is also the outdoor pool “Le 4 Torri,” accessible with an AICS card, perfect for a refreshing break on warmer days.

In spring, the area bursts into color with the blooming of camellias, especially in the nearby Borgo delle Antiche Camelie della Lucchesia, an event that celebrates this ornamental plant with exhibitions, visits to historic gardens, and tastings of local products. The location also allows for day trips to Florence, which can be reached in about an hour, making Badia di Cantignano an excellent starting point for discovering the wonders of Tuscany while still enjoying the peace and authenticity of the countryside.
