Convento La Perla

We were a group of 8 that used this private location in September as a “home base” for trips to Cinque Terre, Lucca, Viareggio, and a Carrara quarry tour. We arrived and were welcomed by Kerstin, who was the most gracious host and provided a seamless check-in. The weather was beautiful during our stay and the pool immediately beckoned, with the perfect setting to get some sun, and relax before our adventures in Tuscany began. The Convento was rustic, but very clean, and well appointed with many modern amenities and has been lovingly cared for, restored with the most amazingly maintained grounds that were a pleasure to explore and find quiet solitude when needed. The views from the Convento are nothing short of spectacular, overlooking Carrara’s hills, valleys all the way to a near wide view of the sea and beyond. Many great amenities in the nearby community for some great nights out (Pizzeria La Torre and Gelateria Da Enzo were our faves) and great markets within a short drive for a relaxing night in if we chose to do so, and cook for ourselves. Driveway is a little daunting at first, but it’s worth the trip and the reveal at the top makes it all worthwhile. Check-out with Susanna was as seamless, and she was as wonderful as Kerstin, with some great recommendations for the area. Book with confidence, this place is a unique, once in a lifetime destination. Grazie mille Kerstin & Susanna!
