Our Holiday Home is made up of a Renaissance villa from the 16th century located in a hilly area surrounded by the silence of green forests and the silver-gray of olive trees. It overlooks the plain where the city of Lucca is located, which is about 6 km away and can also be easily reached by urban bus. It is an excellent starting point for visiting other Tuscan cities, as the city of Pisa is 18 km away, the sea of Viareggio is 20 km away, and the city of Florence is about 70 km away.

Purchased in the early 1800s to be used as the summer seminary of the Diocese of Lucca, it was transformed in the 1970s by Monsignor Enrico Bartoletti, before he became the secretary of the Italian Episcopal Conference, into a Diocesan House for spiritual exercises, seminars, training courses for clergy and laity, welcoming pilgrims, retreat days for the various needs of parishes and groups or movements, families, ecclesiastical events, etc.

With the Jubilee of 2000, under the episcopate of Monsignor Bruno Tommasi, the House was equipped with the necessary comforts to ensure a welcoming environment while still preserving the sobriety that characterized it in previous centuries.

It has a capacity of 73 beds, with rooms divided into singles, doubles, and triples, equipped with their own facilities and a Wifi system for internet connection. Today, it is managed by a family.
