Laying between the Appenine Mountains giving a semblance of a climatic mountain resort in spite of it\u2019s 152 meters above sea level, prefectly intergrated by the River Lima and Serchio, from which the Valley takes it name, it can be considered an oasi of peace and serenity.Decentralized from the traffic which reaches the nearby Lucca(27kms) and Versilia(48kms).With all these characteristics helped by the friendliness of the population and the good climate it\u2019s an ideale place for tourists and visitors.<\/p>\n
The Thermal Spa is well known and has been in function for many years helping to cure illnesses, it\u2019s in a pleasent setting with cool and healthy air.

Antonio Mazzarossa describes Bagni di Lucca in his \u201cGuida ai luoghi pi\u00f9 importanti dei Ducato\u201d(The guide to the most important places in the Dukedom) of 1843: \u201cWe can say nothing has practically changed the nature,the plesant places, the beautiful views so everything enchants you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heinrich Heine in his Reisebilder writes:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Bagni di Lucca the houses rise in a village surrounded by highground, where a picturesque group of houses look down on an enchanted valley.There are houses scattered here and there to reach them one has to climb through vineyards,myrtle bushes, honeysuckle, laurel, oleander, geranium and other splendid flowers in brief a real paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n
Elisabeth Stisted in her letters \u201cfrom the bye-ways of Italy\u201d wrote about her stay like this:
\"We have to give good details of the happy valley where we now have our residence and have passed many summers and a few winters to keep in our memories with our books in rich tranquillity.<\/p>\n
The clean air of the valley is helped by the rapid stream that flows down the mountian purifing it.The stream that flows on the rock bed at the foot of our garden helps us to live well, surronded by cypress and laurel trees and flowers that grow on all the window-sills.\u201d<\/p>\n
The poet Nicolaj Platonovic Ogaev writes to a lady friend on the 31st of May 1843:
\u201cPlease come here. I want to see you - but also because Bagni di Lucca is one of the most beautiful places in Italy. I\u2019m staying in a villa in the hills in Bagno Caldo - Casa Pierini. I walk everyday for 15 minutes in pleasant places with rich vegatation. Life is calm and i\u2019ve got something in my soul...\u201d<\/p>\n
