Hotel Carignano  

On the edge of Lucca—straddling the Serchio riverside park and the city’s riverwalk, just a short ride from the famous Lucca Walls. About 20–21 km from Pisa’s Leaning Tower and a handy base for day trips to Florence, Chianti, the Versilia coast and Cinque Terre. Pet-friendly and family-friendly with free self-parking, this is both a quiet countryside escape and a riverside launchpad.

Roughly 37–38 rooms blend modern comforts with local touches. Rooms generally feature minibars, private bathrooms (bathtub or shower with rainfall heads on many rooms), safes and desks. Expect a relaxed, simple style with hill- or river-facing views and easy bike access—there’s a 4 km path to the Lucca Walls for cycling days.

A seasonal outdoor pool and a sunning area overlook the Lucca hills. There’s a terrace, garden, library and picnic area for lazy afternoons. Pets are welcome, parking is free and a tour desk can help arrange local excursions. Airport shuttle service is available for a surcharge. Wake up to riverside walks and bike-friendly routes.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property, plus a business center and conference/meeting hall. Concierge and multilingual staff help keep events and transfers running smoothly.

An on-site restaurant serves traditional Tuscan recipes and seasonal, regional flavors. Unwind at the bar or the poolside bar, grab coffee in the café, or take advantage of room service during limited hours. Buffet breakfasts are available daily (fee applies).
