Hotel close to Torre del Lago Puccini

Torre del Lago Puccini is a small "corner of paradise" as Giacomo Puccini defined it. He also told about its "Sunny beaches, cool pine forests, the lake always calm." It is an holiday destination famous for its Puccini Festival which is held every year at the Puccini Theater built on the shores of Lake Massaciuccoli. The distance from our hotel  to Torre del Lago is only 5km

Its name originates from a tower that stood on the nearby lake of Massaciuccoli in the 15th-16th century (first called Torre Guinigi and then Torre del Turco). Puccini was added to the original name on 21st December 1938, in order to pay homage to the composer who lived most of his life here, where he composed many of his famous operas. His residence, Villa Puccini, stands on the viewpoint of Lake Massaciuccoli and houses the composer's tomb. The villa can be visited and is a destination for tourists and opera lovers from all over the world.

Torre del Lago is a few km from Viareggio and is also famous for the international festival dedicated to the master Giacomo Puccini which takes place every year in summer at the Puccini theater on the lake where the most beautiful works composed by master Puccini come to life musically: Manon Lescaut (1891), La Bohème (1896), Tosca (1900) Madama Butterfly (1904) La Fanciulla del West (1910) La Rondine (1917) Il Trittico (1918) and Turandot.

Torre del Lago Hotel: The distance from the Tahiti hotel to Torre del Lago is only 5km

Hotel Tahiti is an official sales point of the Fondazione Festiva Pucciniano foundation for this reason you can buy the tickets here. 

The city of the Puccini festival is located a few kilometers from Viareggio immersed in the coastal scrub of Lake Massaciuccoli, bathed by the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea and protected behind by the peaks of the Apuan Alps.

In Torre del Lago, a few meters away from the villa of the great composer Giacomo Puccini, an ecological navigation service offers trips to Lake Massaciucoli and the swamp, within the Migliarino-San Rossore-Massaciucoli Natural Park, an area protected by the WWF and from LIPU. Guided tours allow you to closely observe floristic species of particular interest such as the marsh orchid, the pink hibiscus and the florid fern. Lake Massaciucoli is also an important migratory station for numerous species of birds which find natural refuge in the calatini, the small canals among the reeds, and in the clear, shallower waters. On the banks, several equipped huts allow birdwatchers to immerse themselves in the nature of the park. For lovers of fishing and photography there is the possibility of renting safe rowing boats and pedal boats.

The beach of Torre del Lago is divided into two parts, the first with fully equipped bathing establishments for relaxing on the beach and the second, more natural, is equally well known: the coastal strip called Lecciona is one of the last Italian beaches that still maintain their natural state. It is inserted in the park of Migliarino (and San Rossore) and does not have any equipment: it should be noted that a surveillance service is guaranteed by the municipality during the summer. The paths between the dunes between bridges and walkways are very characteristic, the plants pioneers of the dune environment, they are the home of many animals, such as plovers, small birds that nest among those plants. The most beautiful time to cross this area is at the end of spring, when the camuciolo is in flower and the dunes are all delicately tinged with yellow clear, immersed in the characteristic scent of these plants mixed with brackish. However, this wonderful inebriating scent remains throughout the summer season.

Torre del Lago is also famous for its marina, very popular especially in the summer, for the presence of restaurants and discos, for the lively nightlife and for the Lecciona beach. Torre del Lago is the fulcrum of the Friendly Versilia project, the main and best-known Italian experience of gay tourism.
