Emozione Toscana is a beautiful holiday home in a peaceful location,
set within a large, well-kept garden with mature trees and olive
groves. It is the perfect place for a relaxed holiday with family or
friends. The house has a warm and welcoming feel and immediately makes
you feel at home.
The village of Spianate is just a 20-minute walk away and offers two
restaurants, a café, and a small grocery store. Larger supermarkets are
located 4 km away in Altopascio. The elegant spa town of Montecatini
Terme is only 16 km away and is known for its historic thermal baths
and Art Nouveau architecture. Lucca, Pisa, Florence, and the coastal
town of Viareggio are also easily accessible by car.
The holiday home is built from brick and natural stone, with grey
wooden shutters that provide a lovely contrast. Along the back of the
house runs a covered terrace with a dining table and chairs. In front
of the house, another outdoor seating area is shaded by trees and is
perfect for breakfast. Next to the large pool is a gazebo with a table
and chairs for relaxing outdoors.
The two-storey house has been lovingly restored. Terracotta floors,
wooden beamed ceilings, original fireplaces and traditional furniture
with antique pieces create a cosy and authentic interior. The walls
feature artworks by the owner, a local artist, and many handpicked
details add a personal touch.
There is a large unfenced fishing pond on the property. Children should
be supervised at all times. The friendly owners live in a separate
house on the grounds and are happy to assist with local tips and
information.

This area is steeped in history and culture, providing a tranquil alternative to the bustling tourist centers while still offering a wealth of experiences.
One of the town's most notable attractions is the Villa Torrigiani, a stunning example of 16th-century architecture with its magnificent gardens and ornate interiors. The villa is a testament to the grandeur of Italian nobility and provides a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the past. The gardens, with their intricate landscaping, water features, and statues, are a particular highlight for visitors.
Capannori is also home to the Villa Mansi, another historic estate that captures the essence of Tuscan elegance. The villa's grounds are perfect for leisurely strolls, and the interior, with its frescoes and period furniture, transports visitors back in time.
For those interested in religious history, the town boasts several ancient churches, including the Pieve di San Gennaro, which houses a precious terracotta sculpture attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The church's simple yet beautiful façade belies the artistic treasure within.
The surrounding countryside of Capannori is a patchwork of olive groves and vineyards, offering travelers the chance to indulge in authentic Tuscan gastronomy. Local farms and wineries provide tours and tastings, allowing visitors to savor the region's renowned olive oils and wines. The area is also known for its traditional dishes, which can be enjoyed in the town's charming trattorias and osterias.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Apuan Alps and the Garfagnana region, where hiking, cycling, and horseback riding trails abound. The landscape is dotted with picturesque villages and castles, making for delightful day trips and exploration.
Capannori's location is also ideal for those wishing to explore the wider region of Tuscany. It is a short drive from the historic city of Lucca, with its well-preserved Renaissance walls and cobblestone streets, and within easy reach of Pisa, Florence, and the Tuscan coast.
In essence, Capannori is a destination that offers a slice of Tuscan life away from the crowds. Its historic villas, beautiful countryside, and rich cultural heritage make it a perfect spot for travelers seeking relaxation, inspiration, and a taste of the Italian dolce vita.
