ABOUT AL GATTOSAGGIO
Al Gattosaggio is first and foremost our home, which we have renovated and managed with care and great attention to the environmental impact.
Crossing its threshold, one perceives that it is a special place, where relaxation, gastronomy, culture, and nature find their balance to give our guests a great experience.
We are located in the beautiful setting of Montecarlo, a medieval village whose territory is renowned for the fine production of wine and extra virgin olive oil.
Our four rooms are surrounded by the absolute quiet of an olive grove of approximately one hectare; a large and bright veranda overlooking the garden embraces our guests during breakfast.
We love nature, we do love animals and ours is by choice a pet-friendly structure.

GALLERY
WHY MONTECARLO DI TOSCANA?
Set on a hill 162 meters above sea level, Montecarlo di Lucca is a picturesque and beautifully preserved medieval village located between Lucca (16 km; about 30 minutes by car), Pisa (45 km; about 40 minutes by car), and Florence (66 km; about 60 minutes by car).
The village was built around 1333 as a fortified outpost at the behest of the Lucca government and the Emperor Charles IV of Bohemia, and, for centuries, it was the scene of the dispute between Pisa, Lucca, and Florence.
These centuries of history have left rich testimonies on the Land and have enriched the village with a splendid perfectly preserved fortress.
What is most striking about Montecarlo is the care with which the village has been preserved and the attention with which the territory has been cultivated with vineyards and olive groves.
This generosity and dedication have given rise to excellent products and the smallest Italian wine DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin).
Visiting Montecarlo is a leap into the most authentic and beautiful Tuscany, where care for the territory blends with food and wine excellence
and the wisdom with its past.
Also thanks to its strategic position, Montecarlo can thus be the perfect base, immersed in tranquility, for your tour of Tuscany and its cities of art.
