Our diocesan house is made up of a Renaissance villa from the 16th century located in a hilly area immersed in the silence of the green woods and the silver grey of the olive trees, it overlooks the plain where the city of Lucca is located, which is about 6 km away and can be easily reached by city bus; an excellent point for visiting other Tuscan cities since the city of Pisa is 18 km away, the sea of Viareggio is 20 km away and the city of Florence is about 70 km away.

Purchased to make it the summer seminary of the Diocese of Lucca at the beginning of 1800, it was transformed in the 70s by Monsignor Enrico Bartoletti before he became secretary of the Italian Episcopal Conference, into a Diocesan House for spiritual exercises, seminars, training courses for the Clergy and laity, welcoming pilgrims, retreat days for the various needs of the Parishes and groups or movements, families, ecclesial events, etc.
The House with the Jubilee of 2000 under the episcopate of Monsignor Bruno Tommasi, was equipped with the comforts that today are needed to be a welcoming environment while maintaining the sobriety that characterized it in previous centuries.

The House belongs to the diocese of Lucca, associated with FIES - Italian Federation of Spiritual Exercises and is open all year round always through agreements previously made with the managers.

It has a capacity of 73 beds, with rooms divided into single, double and triple, equipped with their own services and a Wifi system for internet connection.
