Tuscany (Toscana) is a charmed land. Unrivaled as the cradle of art, Toscana is a region of ancient splendor and modern charm. From the largest cities to the smallest Hamlets and most remote villages, you will find ancient chapels, hilltop castles, a hidden palace – perhaps an ancient city nestled in the mountains. Each place has a treasure to show you – a fresco in a Church or a piazza that has retained its original character. You will find celebrated museums filled with masterpieces, monumental cathedrals and palaces, massive walls and fortresses – each a testament to Toscana’s artistic and natural beauty.

Your home away from home: Casa La Pace Bed and Breakfast is located in Ghivizzano, in northern Tuscany’s Serchio Valley. “La Pace” means “peace,” and your stay at this enchanting Bed and Breakfast will be a tranquil respite from the larger cities crowded with tourists. Casa La Pace is in the heart of Garfagnana, a fertile land of wild terrain, charming medieval villages, and delicious Italian food and wine.
Casa La Pace has been beautifully renovated and offers all the latest conveniences, including Internet access. Each of the four guest rooms has its own private bathroom, spectacular panoramic views of mountains and medieval castles and churches. The breakfast buffet includes cheeses from the Garfagnana, fresh-baked breads, pastries from the local baker, and fresh fruits and juices. Casa La Pace is an easy drive from Lucca, Florence, or Pisa. If you wish to travel by train, Casa La Pace is a short stroll from the Ghivizzano train station.

Casa La Pace is honored to have received a 2013 Travelers’ Choice Award and is ranked one of the TOP 25 B&B’s in Italy. Experience the real Italy at Casa La Pace! Like so many of their guests, you will hate to leave!
