We had been recommended to this hotel by a family member and were not disappointed. It's not easy to find, and the drive up the treacherous hairpin bends is fairly nerve-wracking, but it's well worth the effort. The hotel is beautifully situated, calm and peaceful, with lovely tree-shaded terraces and a fabulous pool. It's near to Pisa and Lucca and only an hour from Florence so there's heaps to do and see. The only downside is the food at the hotel, not good, much better to go into Lucca which has some lovely, inexpensive, restaurants. I would thoroughly recommend Le Capanne for anyone looking for a peaceful holiday with the option to sightsee.
