Villa Alberta is a perfect place for the gathering of family and friends where days are timeless and memorable. Surrounded by hills filled with wild boar, Alberta was once the hunting lodge retreat of Count Cosimo Bernardini of Lucca who would spend his weekends in the country. The Bernardini family played an instrumental role in the administration and politics of the Republic of Lucca and were responsible for the upkeep of law (magistrates) and order from 1388 through to 1798. They continued to support the new political order with the invasion of Napoleon towards the end of the 18th century. At this time, Borgo was extended to become a small village for the workers of the estate which included an olive press, bakers and chapel.

Tuscany, Italy
Tuscany is located in central Italy and stretches from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea. In this region, nature has many different facets, starting from the coast that alternates long and sandy beaches, like the Versilia beach, with rocky cliffs and steep headlands. The islands of the Tuscan Archipelago, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, a crystal clear sea and rich seabeds, are peerless.
The landscapes and people of Tuscany have been an inspiration for many writers for centuries, it’s no coincidence that three of Italy’s greatest writers: Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio, were all Tuscan. Besides home-grown writers, Tuscany has provided an inexhaustible source of writing material for foreign writers as well.
