Location & what to see

Villa La Dogana is located along Via Pisana, in the countryside just west of the town center of Lucca, in a flat area between the course of the Serchio river and the slopes of the Pisani Mountains.

In the immediate vicinity, about 800 meters away, is the Il Borghetto del Castello restaurant, a convenient reference point for evening dinners.

Road and rail connections are particularly convenient for those wishing to explore the area without stress. Ripafratta railway station is just 1.5 km from the property, while Nozzano station is 1.7 km away, both offering regional connections to Lucca and Pisa. For air travelers, Pisa’s Galileo Galilei Airport can be reached in about twenty minutes by car, located 15 km away, while famous Pisa attractions such as the Leaning Tower and Piazza dei Miracoli lie just 12 km away.
