Il Bottaccio: 5 star Hotel in Tuscany, Restaurant, Spa

The art of seduction meets the genius of an impeccably stylish décor. Art triumphs everywhere at Il Bottaccio and it is precisely this blend of several epochs, styles and tastes that conjures up a matchless property. But we may well define it a home, your home. Sleeping here means sensing the embrace of an old friend, feeling the warmth of sincere hospitality.

Walking from the lovely gardens to the main hall, dining beside a refreshing swimming pool, tasting the most delicious food Tuscany  - and beyond – has to offer, prepared with love: Il Bottaccio is your gateway to a journey of the senses that knows no boundaries.{page_break}

Water, art and marble: the characteristic signs of Bottaccio.
The sea of Versilia, torrents and streams that descended from the Apuan Alps to move the big wheel that can still be admired in the garden today.

The marble quarries where Michelangelo chose the ‘white gold’ which he then transformed into his immortal works. Where contemporary artists have found the raw material for the creations which today are reflected in the water of a swimming pool in the center of a large restaurant room, where the olives were once harvested.

The D’Anna couple, gallery owners, patrons and owners of a private English college, have created a family residence at Bottaccio and, as they like to point out, a hotel for those who don’t like hotels.

Il Bottaccio is the ideal place to visit Lucca and Pisa, the Cinque Terre, Lunigiana and Torre del Lago with its Puccini Festival, which every year renews the magic of the great Maestro’s works. Pietrasanta is one step away: a city of art where, among ancient and modern marbles, international artists have chosen their residence as Moore and Botero had already done.
