The ample communal areas of the Hotel
Villa Marta are ideal for quiet moments, reading, listening to music
or sipping an excellent glass of wine by the warmth of the fire, or
soaking up the peace of the luxuriant garden. |

Lucca
is the capital of the province of the same name in northwestern
Tuscany. With approximately 85,000 inhabitants, Lucca is situated in
a broad alluvial plain, 19 meters above sea level, near the Serchio
River, between the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, the Tyrrhenian Coast
and the Pisan hills. It is an important city for art and traditional
culture, presenting a vital historic center of extraordinary value,
which has conserved almost intact the thick urban network of houses,
towers, medieval churches, Renaissance palaces and 19th-century
piazzas. Lucca today is a flowering commercial and industrial center
and an important area for the paper, chemical, metal mechanic,
textile and agricultural (olive and wine) industries. |
