It is 2 years since I began Bella Bagni di Lucca. In that time I have tried to visit all the villages that make up Bagni di Lucca. They are scattered along the Lima River and in the mountains on either side.
Here are the villages I have visited so far, in alphabetical order. Click on the name to see more of the village.
I hope to make my way to the villages I have missed over the next few months. I know I must see Crasciano, Mobiano, and a few others. Let me know of any more you want to see.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
You have forgotten Gombereto and I’m sure you have been there….nice report about several villages
Hi Ilario, I have been to Gombereto and it is beautiful, but it was before I started Bella Bagni di Lucca and I have no photos or a post to refer to. I will remedy that as soon as I get back.
Gombereto has been added.
Done, Debra.
As you say, there are so many beautiful villages and hamlets in the area that the choice is difficult. I do not understand why they have not been entered on the “Beautiful Village in Italy” list. I have visited places on that list that are not as beautiful as the ones featured here.
Thank you. I don’t know why it isn’t on the list either, maybe they should follow the blog.
These posts were all so fabulous, they’re a joy to revisit – the photos make me feel as if I’m there – and you are such a tireless researcher! It’s such a pity that in some of those towns the young people are moving away, it would be tragic if these towns simply faded away.
Some houses are being bought by foreigners like us…perhaps not the perfect solution, but better than nothing.
Hello Debra,
Lovely pics! I recommend you take a look at a couple of villages we’ve visited, which aren’t on your list: Crasciana and Pieve di Controne.
Many thanks,
Lindsey
I look forward to visits to both Crasciana and Pieve di Controne when I get back.
I don’t think I will get bored when I move there. And the there are all the other cities and towns on you other blog. Nice days rides to keep the bikes rolling.
You won’t have time to get bored. You can visit a new place every day for years.
I can’t wait to read your write ups for San Gemignano and Pieve di Controne. Two villages near and dear to my heart!!
I will get there as soon as I can. Some early spring photos would be good.
Really nice photos liked the statue with the water, I have a few pics of
Riolo I could share. Keep on looking , Bob G
I would love to see your photos. You could email them to me at debrakolkka@gmail.com.
Fab woman! Love your passion for these special places 🙂
Fab! Love your passion for these historical gems:-)
These villages are easy to love
Incredible lovely places, and a lot of good pictures!
I think the villages that make up Bagni di Lucca are very special. I look forward to visiting them all in spring.
Great pictures, thanks again for giving us all a reminder of why we like to spend time (any time!) in and around Bagni. Its beautiful all year round, how lucky we are, what with the world in the state its in, to be able to go there.
It is a great place to be. I am happy that we found it 10 years ago.
Great scot, Debra – that’s one heck of a lot of villages!
I know! There is never a shortage of things to do.
Fabulous post Debra. Congratulations on the nominations. Just brilliant!!!!! I’ll be voting of course.
Thank you for voting. I hope it might bring a bit more attention to Bagni di Lucca, which is really why I write the blog.
Reblogged this on craftcrazygran and commented:
The most beautiful places in the world!
You brought back beautiful memories; ‘love the pictures. I didn’t know you were a talented photographer. The most beautiful town I member is Fiesole. You mentioned San Gemignano, and I understand why you want to go there, too. Those towns are all so special.
The village of San Gemignano is different from San Gimignano near Siena, which is very beautiful too. I also like Fiesole very much, it has spectacular views over Fkorence.
nice picture of Nero the cat
Do you know Nero?
Don’t forget Bagni Caldi! Spas. Don’t forget the Spas.
I wrote a post on the spa in Bagni Caldi on the other blog some time ago. It is clearly time for a revisit.

Hi Debra. Do you rent your apartment in Ponte a Serraglio? If you don’t can you refer me to someone who does?I am looking for a place that accommodates 3 adults for June 10 and 11 with a view of the Lima river like your apartment has. Thank you for any assistance you can provide. Kim
I have sent an email to you in answer to this.
