In Tuscany, overlooking the Valdinievole between the cities of Lucca and Pistoia, La Monastica Resort & Spa offers the experience of refined, soothing, and rejuvenating relaxation. An exclusive, private boutique hotel, created from a 16th-century monastery in an inhabited medieval village, for a holiday that instills well-being, surrounded by history and immersed in nature.

A captivating beauty

La Monastica Resort & Spa is in Buggiano Castello, atop a hill offering a complete panoramic view of the Valdinievole. The village preserves its original appearance intact: a medieval cluster with stone buildings and narrow streets that invite discovery and the opportunity to take time to recover your natural rhythm. Away from traffic, immersed in history and enveloped in the music and beauty of nature, it instills a sense of comfort, privacy, and serenity.

La Monastica Resort & Spa is a boutique hotel resulting from a careful restoration project that has maintained the charm of the ancient structure intact. The central building consists of the former Monastery of Santa Scolastica established in the 16th century; other residences, immediately adjacent, complete the accommodation offering for those who desire an even more immersive holiday in the life and rhythm of the ancient Tuscan village.

The Monastery

The emotions of taste

Tuscan tradition and nature, authentic flavors and the freshness of raw materials: these are the inspirations from which the cuisine of Ristorante Devoti draws. Each menu aims to enhance the excellence of the territory, carefully selecting ingredients, always seasonal, such as vegetables and fruit that largely come from the Garden cultivated in the resort’s Podere and meats, fish, and cheeses from selected local producers. All enjoyed in the evocative atmospheres of the different spaces that, within the ancient monastery, have been dedicated to dining to offer a unique and exclusive experience every time.

Devoti Restaurant

It is the ideal environment to fully savor the reassuring and soothing sensation of La Monastica. Here emerges the vocation for care that has distinguished this structure since its foundation. You can choose from a wide range of treatments and rituals performed with natural products or relax in the enchanting wellness area complete with sauna, Turkish bath and emotional showers, immerse yourself in the pools with micronized water or experience the exclusivity of Paradiso dell’Anima, a truly unique pathway that starts from the base of a medieval tower, to rediscover a sensation of profound relaxation.

Spa Treatments

Garden & Pools

Distributed over nine terraces supported by stone walls and bordered by ancient medieval towers, the garden follows the contour of the land already outlined around the year 1000 and, thanks to its dominant position, offers a spectacular panoramic view over the entire Valdinievole.

Rural estate

Near La Monastica, along the bank of the Cessana stream, there is Il Podere, a large plot of land where the resort’s Garden is cultivated with sustainable methods in homage to the tradition of ancient convents.

The Location

La Monastica Resort & Spa is in Buggiano Castello in the province of Pistoia, in a secluded position, yet close to many cultural and tourist destinations. It takes just a few minutes by car to reach the thermal city par excellence, Montecatini Terme, or the art cities such as Pistoia, Lucca, Pisa.

History, craftsmanship and design

Ancient decorations redefined by skilled restorers, design and antique objects, furnishings custom-made by local artisans all contribute to instilling in La Monastica an exclusive and evocative atmosphere, almost suspended between past and present and profoundly connected with the place, history and nature.

Gazette

Fragments of history, breaths of territory and an unmistakable Italian way of life. A space where time slows down to become a story.
