More

Il Ciocco Tenuta e Parco is a private estate that stretches over 600 hectares and rises up to 1,100 meters above sea level at the centre of the Serchio Valley, a fascinating and mysterious corner of Tuscany nestled between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. It is located on the border of Garfagnana, a green area of the region, a few minutes away from the charming medieval village of Barga and 40 kms away from Lucca, world-renowned art city. It is also strategically positioned to reach all the other main tourist destinations of Tuscany and Liguria. Immersed in a green and lush countryside, Il Ciocco embraces a numerous range of natural landscapes offering the visitor a unique ever transforming chromatic display, never equal to itself, that changes with the altitude and at every season. In these places that hold ancient memories, where nature, art, legend and tradition blend wonderfully together, one can wander among thick forests full of chestnut and beech trees and into villages and hamlets where it seems as if time has stood still.
