Borgo Bernardini - The Coselli Collection

Hotel Overview

Borgo Bernardini, a hamlet tucked away amid the gently folding hills near the town of Lucca, is a gracious and luxurious Tuscan retreat that is grand in style yet not overwhelming.

Originally a lodge from which wild boar were hunted in the early 19th century, it was expanded into a small village for the workers of the estate of Count Cosimo Bernardini.

A modern restoration accentuated the values of the space and setting of its inner courtyards, softly lit old walls and enchanted silence.

Inside there is a formal dining room, a kitchen for casual dining, a music room with fireplace, a card and full-size billiard room, as well as a fully equipped gym.

A genuine time-forgotten atmosphere reigns as guests are immersed in an aristocratic ambiance of weeping willows, fountains and formal gardens.

Perfect for a gathering of family and friends, Borgo Bernardini is a home of such beauty, tranquillity and comfort that you will find it hard to leave.
