Discover Tuscany’s Heart Between Art, History, and Nature
Where We Are
Your Tuscan Retreat in a Medieval Village
La Rocca Relais is located in the charming medieval village of Serravalle Pistoiese, a hidden gem nestled in the Tuscan hills, halfway between Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and the Versilia coastline.
Our strategic location allows you to explore Tuscany’s most famous destinations while enjoying the peace and beauty of the countryside
Serravalle Pistoiese is not just a stop along the way—it is a destination in itself, offering a journey through centuries of history. Originally built as a strategic stronghold, the village was an important control point along the route between Pistoia and Lucca.
