La Casa del Grillo Parlante

La Casa del Grillo Parlante is located in the heart of the historic center of Collodi, a medieval village documented since the 12th century. Among its charming stone houses clinging to the hillside, visitors can relive the characters of the tale of the wooden puppet known throughout the world.

The property offers free on-site parking. Its location is ideal for visiting the village’s main attractions: the magnificent Villa Garzoni and its gardens, considered among the most beautiful in Italy and home to events and concerts during the summer season; the Butterfly House; and the Pinocchio Monumental Park, a magical attraction for children of all ages.

The property is just 11 km from Montecatini railway station and only a short distance from Pistoia and Lucca, one of Tuscany’s most remarkable art cities.

Guests can relax in a charming veranda furnished with wicker furniture or, on the first floor, enjoy a peaceful moment on the small balcony equipped with a table and chairs, perfect for sipping a good glass of wine.

For nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts, several CAI hiking trails start just a short walk from the property, including the enchanting “Via della Fiaba” (Fairy Tale Trail), a scenic hillside route winding through olive groves and ancient mule tracks, suitable for the whole family.
