Slow travel in the tuscan countryside
Slow travel in the tuscan countryside: rediscover time through nature, silence and authenticity
A different way to explore
Not everything that matters can be measured in miles. Slow travel is an invitation to slow down, to look at places with new eyes, to listen to nature and feel the rhythm of the land. In Tuscany, this way of traveling reaches its peak among the hills and villages of Buggiano Castello, where you’ll find Villa Sermolli.
Not just visiting the countryside — living it
Villa Sermolli is not a typical hotel. It’s a historic residence surrounded by greenery, where every space invites stillness. Here you can read on a terrace, stroll through olive groves, or simply watch the clouds drift over the valley. Every gesture is simple — and that’s what makes it deeply restorative.
A villa made for peace seekers
All rooms are unique, featuring natural materials and views of the garden or the medieval village. Silence here is precious: broken only by the wind, the birds, or the distant sound of church bells. It’s a place that invites you to breathe more slowly.
Slow travel in the tuscan countryside: things to do… slowly
Slow travel doesn’t mean doing nothing — it means being present. At Villa Sermolli, you can:
– take unhurried walks through the hills
– enjoy a picnic with a view
– savor a Tuscan dinner made with local ingredients
– join a wine or olive oil tasting
– visit nearby villages at your own pace
There are no tight schedules, no pressure to see everything. Just space to be.
The land told by those who live it
Our team knows this place deeply and loves to share it. You’ll receive suggestions for a family-run trattoria, a path among wildflowers, or a local festival worth joining. Slow travel is also about human connection.
A place to disconnect — and reconnect
This isn’t a place for smart working. It’s a place to write in a journal, draw, cook together or enjoy the beauty of doing nothing. And that’s more than enough.
Close to everything, yet far from it all
Buggiano Castello is just minutes from Montecatini, 30 from Lucca and Pistoia. But as soon as you climb the old stone steps to the villa, you’ll feel like you’ve entered another world — slower, quieter, and more human.
