Mazzolla is a small borgo in the region of Pisa. It sits on a hill facing a beautiful landscape of Tuscan hills.

The Albergo is spread into three blocks: Casa San Giuseppe at the town entrance, Casa Valeri with terrace and views onto the Bergignone natural reserve, and Casa Chiesa facing the church.

↑ The project is heavily driven by the inhabitants of Mazzolla - here Giuseppe in action in the newly opened pizzeria.

The project is about supporting the local community and revitalising the town through sustainable hospitality and embracing slow tourism.

↑ Original condition of the main building with 4 seperate townhouses unoccupied for decades.

↑ The Albergo reception and rooms organised around a central staircase. The ground floor open and connected from Locanda to Pizzeria.

Building this project is a family affair. It’s Gabriele’s first project leading his dad’s construction company, with masonry experts / brothers Gino and Irvin. Behind the pizza oven are Giuseppe and Mary who have expanded their existing trattoria in the village to manage the pizzeria. And of course Filippo, cycle guide / fanatic turned tireless hotel manager, and partner Suzana behind the F&B.
