COLLODI&PESCIA – 8km/5mi

Collodi is the village where PINOCCHIO was born.

The author Carlo Lorenzini, called Carlo “Collodi”, wrote “The adventures of Pinocchio” in the Garzoni Villa, where his mother worked as a cook.

Nowdays, the Villa and its wonderful garden are open to visitors and for special events.

Close to the Villa, “Pinocchio World” is a theme park dedicated to children.

Collodi is located in Pescia district: Pescia is a Medieval town famous to be the “town of flowers”.

Its main square is worth a visit!

"This was the second time that we spent our holidays in your beautiful house. Even with another family that had been joining us for these past fewdays.
Thanks to your caring we enjoyed again very peaceful, relaxing, inspiring and wonderful days in and around your house and the countryside.
Everything is in perfect shape – and if something wasn’t working as it should we could always rely on your attention. Also we were very thankful for your patience!
You might have noticed before but the terrasse is perfectly located for planet and moon observations. We even were privileged enough to observe the unique blood moon."

Grazie mille!"

"Our stay at Borgo di Campioni has been wonderful! The villa and the views are simply stunning! The children loved the swimming pool to cool off after a day of sightseeing in this beautiful part of Tuscany. Giuliano has been an absolute star during our stay! The sweet treats and giant pizza were out of this world! We highly recommend a visit to Lucca; such a charming little town, full of hidden gems. WE just wish we could stay longer…"

mit wehmut aber auch tiefer befriedigung geniessen wir noch die letzten stunden in diesem wundervallen haus. Du hast uns durch deine passion und hingabe wundervolle tage in einer wundervollen umgebung ermoglicht. Du sagst, es sei wie das paradies. Fur uns ist es das paradies. Auch die strapazen mit Lars auf dem Rennvelo wollen wir nicht missen. Wir sind ziemlich sicher, wir waren nicht das letzte mal deine gaste! Alles gute und liebe.
