Tenuta San Pietro Hotel & Restaurant  

In the rolling hills around Capannori, this restored 16th-century country house sits amid the Lucca countryside about 8 km from the town center. It’s an easy drive to Villa Mansi and Villa Torrigiani and close to Villa Grabau and Villa Reale. Pisa sights such as the Cathedral and the Leaning Tower are also reachable for day trips.

A luxury country hotel that marries traditional stone charm with modern comforts. The property has 10 guestrooms (eight bedrooms and two suites) with minibars, air-conditioning, LCD TVs, safes and private bathrooms with bidets. Expect warm decor, attentive service and a private wine cellar and event spaces ideal for weddings or tastings.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar. Rent bikes to explore the countryside, use the concierge and tour desk to book local excursions, or grab a coffee at the on-site café. Family-friendly touches include babysitting (surcharge) and playrooms for kids, and the hotel is pet-friendly; free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi are available.

Two meeting rooms and conference/presentation facilities make this a good pick for small events or corporate retreats. There’s luggage storage, dry cleaning and a wine cellar that doubles as a tasting space for receptions and private functions.

The restaurant is a highlight, with a seasonal menu built on homegrown ingredients and Tuscan traditions—popular for special occasions and wedding banquets. You’ll also find a bar/lounge, coffee shop/café, limited-hours room service and a continental breakfast served daily (fee applies).
