The Agriturismo Pian di Fiume takes its name from the medieval hamlet which has been lovingly restored and brought back to life. Guests now stay in the old houses that made up the tiny village.
Pian di Fiume is 2 kilometres from La Villa, the commercial centre of Bagni di Lucca. Take the road towards Abetone and look for the bridge on the left side of the road.
The agriturismo sits lazily beside the Lima River. At the river level there is a flat plain where the animals are kept. There are chickens, turkeys, horses, sheep, goats and a herd of cinta senese pigs, the semi wild pigs that feed on acorns and chestnuts. They also keep bees and the honey they produce is for sale.
Surely a face that only a mother could love.
Up a very steep dirt road is the restaurant, accommodation and pool.
The setting is lovely.
There is a tiny church from the original village.
Even though we arrived unannounced, Daniela made us a delicious lunch.
Flower shaped ravioli made by Daniela.
There is a lovely dining room.
But we chose to eat on the outside terrace with a view over the valley.
Thank you Daniela for our lovely lunch.
On the way out we spotted a little plaque with Adriano’s name on it. He felt the need to pose beside it.
In summer the river is a great place to swim.
Perhaps you will be joined by the cinta senese who like to drink there.

Bella Bagni di Lucca 
Oh my goodness. I could do with a few days there right away! I love that dear little church. The rooms look lovely too Debra. It’s all just superb!
The views will be even better in a couple of weeks when the trees are green.
It looks great, Debra, thank you for the lovely photos. The restoration has been done very tastefully. I love the little church! And the food looks simple, but wholesome and superb.
There are still some houses to be renovated, but it is great to see an old village put to such good use.
Those ravioli are stunning!!!
They tasted good too.
What a unique place Pian di Fiume is! I am looking forward to spring lunch there next Sunday!!!
It should be a great day.
You going Deb?
No, we have something else on on Sunday.
Flower-shaped ravioli? Yum! In some ways, the mountain scenery reminds me of the Shenandoah Valley. And that looks like a wonderful place to swim.
Our mountains are quiet spectacular. That water is a bit cold now, but it is wonderful in summer.
Ok. I know where I want to live now. I can live there right? By the way, that is the MOST delicious ravioli I have ever seen in my life.
I’m sure they could find a place for you and Daniela could cook for you every day.
Sounds good to me. 🙂
I’m sure they could find a place for you and Daniela could cook for you every day.
I want to say thanks to Debra and Rosy,
to meet people like them,will be a lucky tingh!!
Daniela 🙂
We had a lovely day with you Daniela.
What a lovely day in a beautful spot. In all my travels to Italy, I have never seen the flower shaped ravioli. Oh and the huntsmen’s meal in an earlier post must have been wonderful. The porchetta looked great.
They were made especially for spring.
Hi Deb….I’ve just been looking through all these beautiful photos…and what comes through is your genuine connection to the land and with the community. It’s what makes your blog posts so fascinating. So many glorious places…and dishes to sample. Thank you so much.
Now…where do I look for your beautiful home?
Ciao
