Welcome
" BORGO al CASTELLO" is a small hamlet which stems from the end of the 19th century. Farmers have used these cottages as barns for hay and animals and they have recently been lovingly restored, maintaining their original flavour but with modern comforts and taking much care to preserve the original structural characters, such as beamed ceilings and terracotta windows.
Surrounded by olive groves and woods, located on a hill approximately 300 meters above sea level, they have a lovely view over the historic town of Lucca and the surrounding hills. The houses share the swimming pool (14 x 7 m. with diving board) which has a large pergola for eating outside and spacious area for taking the sun.
The pool is a short walk along a Rosemary scented pathway on its own terrace enclosed by Roses, Lemons and Geraniums, overlooked by the terraced olive grove (accessed by the pool) were you can find other private eating and seating areas or taking a magical evening walk through the olive grove to enjoy the spectacular view of Lucca.
The Borgo is looked after by Genni & David who personally maintain and care for the property and guests, and who like to prepare dinners by request in the spirit of conserving traditional “lucchese recipes from genuine high quality local produce, including their own olive oil, and local wines which can also be tasted and acquired in the area.
The Borgo is also associated with the artistic tradition of spinning and weaving of cloth on antique looms. Genni dedicates some of her time producing cloth of which Lucca is famous in locations at TORRE GUINIGI and the museum PALAZZO MANZI….
