If you are looking forward to the blooming of spring and a great vacation in Tuscany then you should probably consider booking one of our villas with pools in Lucca for this March and heading to Capannori, a town and commune in the province of Lucca that is known as the Village of Camellias. Already an exceptionally charming town of winding lanes, pretty little squares, and gorgeous local houses, it is made lovelier still each year in March and October, when it goes into full bloom...

All through the villages of Pieve and Sant'Andrea di Compito and right across the valley in which Capannori is located, there are camellia trees that explode into thousands of blooms each spring, adding colour and wonder to this corner of the lush Tuscan landscape. The entire area is transformed into one large garden and hosts a rich and diverse calendar of special events for locals and visitors to the area to enjoy each year for the duration of the Antiche Camelie della Lucchesia exhibition. Find your vacation rental in Lucca and come join in on all of the fun and experience the incredible beauty of this special event for yourself!
