Borgo - Gelso Cottage - Lucca, Lucca


Characteristic cottages set in an ancient medieval borgo. Perfect for a larger groups that wants to stay together but also have a little privacy. Gorgeous views and in a perfect location to explore the best of Tuscany.


Nestled in the splendid hills of Tuscany, cradled between olive groves and vineyards, and only 5 kilometers from Lucca, lies the magnificent villa complex "The Borgo". We tried to maintain in this group of cottages the original character of the village. It features a communal area, a place where people can spend time together.

Inside the cottage it is welcoming and homely as well as being both comfortable and modern.

Completely restored combining traditional materials with new technology and furnished in local Tuscan style, the holiday accommodation cottage offers you elegant and traditional living.The rooms are large, simple and finely well-furnished with fabulous views from every window.

We have taken care to offer you every facility: to meet your needs and give you privacy. Take advantage of the wonderful heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi and relax in the area around it. The communal area has a fitness centre with gym and Turkish bath, as well as a large room with a fireplace, barbecue and kitchen which can be used for special occasions.

"The Borgo" offers all of this plus it is in a sunny position with a dry and mild climate (due to its nearness to the sea) making it enjoyable all year round.
