A 1700’s PAPER MILL :
Just outside Pescia’s historical center, the city of flowers and paper, a few minutes from the city of Lucca and just 3 km’s from Pinocchio’s Park in Collodi, San Lorenzo is the ideal place to discover Tuscany but also for a relaxing holiday immersed in the green countryside.

From here there are many trekking and mountain bike routes, leading to the Valleriana, also renown as the local Switzerland, with it’s 10 castellas, which are characteristic medieval villages.

It is a unique hotel, as it is the result of a very careful restoration of two 1700’s water paper mills, located on the Pescia river. The impressive stone, wood and wrought iron machines of the time, are still today visible to the guests, as displayed along a small museum itinerary, with an explanation of the paper manufacturing processes’.

The Hotel, which is today called Albergo Diffuso, is comprised of 3 separate buildings surrounded by nature, which include other than 77 rooms with a romantic feel, also a vast park and pine forest, swimming pool with Jacuzzi, bar, restaurants, banquette halls, meeting halls up to 200 people, wine bar/pub, parking area for cars and buses and a playground.

Finally, the village has some apartments with kitchen area.
