Choosing a farm stay (agriturismo) in Montecarlo, near Lucca, means more than finding somewhere to sleep: it means stepping into the “City of Wine”.

While many look for the polish of a wine resort, Principato di Toscana gives you a compass to discover the true soul of the Lucca hills. Our farmhouses sit just a short walk from the Rocca del Cerruglio (pictured) and the characteristic Via del Teatro and Via di Nievole: the ideal starting point for anyone who would rather avoid mass tourism.
Hospitality and Tradition: Much More Than a Resort
Unlike large estates built around impersonal luxury, our hospitality grows out of the discipline of working the land.

Our location is ideal not only for exploring the village but also for walkers on the Via Francigena in Tuscany, a perfect stop on a 3- or 5-day itinerary. We offer a friendly hand to anyone looking for a place to rest after the trail, with the kind of welcome that larger properties often forget.
Taste First: Wine and Olive Oil Tastings in Montecarlo

Rather than simply selling, we like to share what we know through wine and olive oil experiences that reveal the truth behind Lucca PDO extra virgin olive oil, our “green gold”, and Montecarlo DOC wines.
