Hotel Carignano

About Hotel Carignano

Hotel Carignano is a small, quiet, modern hotel in the middle of the country-side, and yet near to the town centre of Lucca - a bike ride away. The banks of the River Serchio, only 100mts. from the hotel have become an official bicycle route that lead straight to Lucca.

An impressively well-kept city, surrounded by massive medieval walls that have turned to be one of the worlds' most beautiful greenways, from which the awesome panorama of this atypical Tuscan town can be seen from a most unusual point of view.

Hotel Carignano is strategically located between the Versilia Coast and the Apuan Alps, known world-wide for the white Carrara marble - the Garfagnana Valley and the Colline Lucchesi, famous for the wine and olive oil production. A good place to start discovering the north of Tuscany, where tradition and a pleasant, relaxed life-style have always been esteemed by those seeking the real taste of this beautiful region.

The hotel has its own restaurant, the Cantina di Carignano, that has been run by the same family since 1881- a cozy, warm place to indulge in good food and wines while the crackle and spit of the large, wood-burning oven recall other times and life-styles. You will find all the local specialities, from the homemade tortelli's to oven-baked beans, the best grilled meats and grand Tuscan wines. In the summer, al fresco dinner is served in our pleasantly fresh veranda. The Cantina is also well known for the great pizzas and the warm focaccia that appears on the table like magic.
