cypresses and chestnuts. Typical Mediterranean vegetation cloaks the

century church of Spannarecchio, still recalls the past with the
characteristic belfry constructed with sandstone blocks that towers above,
as guardian of your holiday. The recent renovation combines the typical

décor without neglecting the details of Tuscan tradition such as sandstone,
terracotta and ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, providing

the town. The proximity to the motorway gives guests the opportunity of

Lucca, Pisa, Montecatini Terme and the entire Tyrrhenian coast of Versilia
