Nestled among the gentle hills of Tuscany, in the heart of an authentic village near the mountains of Bagni di Lucca, stands an elegant bed & breakfast born from the dream of Raymond and Monica, a Dutch couple who decided to turn their passion for Italy into a life project. The historic building that houses the B&B has been meticulously restored, preserving its original charm while integrating modern, functional solutions to provide a captivating stay defined by comfort and authenticity.

The rooms, tastefully decorated with attention to detail, include a romantic honeymoon suite, a deluxe room, and soon an apartment for four guests. Each accommodation is equipped with a refrigerator, coffee machine, and kettle, while breakfast, always included, is served every morning between 8:00 and 10:00, either in the indoor dining area or on the panoramic terrace. Guests may choose between a classic Italian breakfast or a more substantial continental option, featuring fresh bread, cheeses, cured meats, yogurt, and fruit, accompanied by orange juice and eggs prepared upon request.

The expansive garden will soon feature a swimming pool, a barbecue area with a pizza oven, and an outdoor bar, designed for moments of socializing and relaxation. The serene and rejuvenating natural surroundings are also ideal for retreats, coaching sessions, creative stays, or simply for those looking to unwind. Hiking and cycling enthusiasts will find beautiful trails and suitable facilities, such as storage and washing areas for bikes, and even a small laundry service for technical clothing.

San Gimignano is a true hidden gem, perfect for exploring Tuscany: in no time, you can reach the beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast, Florence, Pisa, and Lucca, all while enjoying the tranquility of a place where time seems to stand still. Raymond and Monica, with their warm hospitality and love for the area, will be delighted to share itineraries, their favorite spots, and perhaps a glass of wine at sunset.

Area Collina

The San Gemignano area, located in the municipality of Bagni di Lucca, is an authentic and rarely visited part of northern Tuscany, nestled among wooded hills and mountains that offer breathtaking views. Here, the landscape features chestnut forests, crystal-clear streams, and ancient stone villages where time seems to stand still. Nature prevails, providing a rejuvenating array of colors, scents, and tranquil silences in every season.

Just a few minutes from the B&B is the Bagni di Lucca spa, famous since the 19th century for its healing waters and once frequented by notable figures like Byron, Shelley, and Puccini. Today, the thermal baths serve as a delightful stop for those seeking moments of relaxation and wellness.

Outdoor enthusiasts and trekking lovers can explore scenic trails winding through ridges, mule tracks, and shady woods, leading to medieval villages, ancient churches, and breathtaking viewpoints. Cyclists will also find challenging routes with steep climbs and spectacular descents, all set in an unspoiled and diverse natural environment.

The location is also ideal for discovering some of Tuscany's most enchanting destinations: in just over an hour, one can reach Florence and Pisa, both rich in art and history, while Lucca is only about thirty kilometers away, captivating visitors with its Renaissance walls, elegant squares, and artisan shops. The Tyrrhenian coast, with its sandy beaches and the coastal profiles of the Cinque Terre, is easily accessible for a day trip.

Those who choose this area do so to embrace a slower pace of life, rediscover the simplicity of village living, savor local flavors, and be charmed by the understated and genuine beauty of a less touristy but equally remarkable Tuscany.
