Il Bottaccio, Relais & Châteaux

Artful Tuscan sanctuary.

Il Bottaccio, Relais & Châteaux, sits at the foot of the Apuan Alps in a restored 18th-century olive mill. This boutique retreat blends art, gastronomy, and nature, with guestrooms set among sculpture-lined halls near Carrara’s marble hills, and just a short drive from Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, and the Cinque Terre.

Insider Tip

Explore the on-site art gallery, where sculptures are exhibited and available for purchase. Don’t miss the owner’s private collection, displayed throughout the guestrooms and gardens.
