Hotel Description
At just 3km far from FORTE DEI MARMI, enjoying both the reflection of the Mediterranean Sea and the peace of Apuanian Alps, Il Bottaccio is an elegant hotel and a superb restaurant created around a seventeenth century water-powered olive mill transformed into an oasis of refinement and serenity. The village is overlooked by the impressive ruins of the Aghinolfi Castle, masters of this county in 1202.
The Hospitality provided by the Bottaccio to its gourmand travellers matches the quality of its cuisine. The freedom of the guests and the respect for their habits and privacy is paramount. Large spaces with open views on the greenery complement the very large private suites, whose name is different for each one of them, as well as different is the character of the atmosphere.
These are spacious, individually furnished and cared for in every minute detail. The 18th century pieces dotted in the suites sensually blend with prestigious contemporary furnishing. Il Bottaccio successfully blends the charm of a country mansion with the pleasure of refined catering and the luxury of absolute peace.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation
Il Bottaccio has revolutionized the concept of the Suite – increasing its receptive capacity and enriching the gamma of experiences available with the introduction of the "Personal Spa." This Avant-garde addition is the new frontier of wellness. Some of the suites are fitted with its own wellness space - soulful places in which it is possible to release tension and rediscover oneself in the intimacy of an exclusive apartment.
Each has its own distinguishing feature: a private pool carved out of the surrounding rock, a panoramic tower, a loft for massage and aromatherapy and sunken bathtub, a cathedral-ceiling that lends the romanticism of a quaint old church – all amidst the complicity of the surrounding woods and trickling garden streams.

Facilities
The table at Il Bottaccio is the altar around which the four elements - air, earth, water and fire - celebrate the rites of senses.
Il Bottaccio Restaurant and the Relais is the precursor of a formula, which originates from a happy adulteration between high dinning and art. And thus for the fortunate guests of this antique oil mill, it is impossible to distinguish between the two entities and to establish where the restaurant ends and the art gallery begins.
Through its refined collection of sculptures, paintings, and furnishings, which represent numerous epochs and styles, Il Bottaccio exalts dinning, making it into something more subtle-a perception, sensation, emotion that nourishes the body and the soul. And it is thus that beauty, rhythm, and poetry add that unique quality to the cuisine of Il Bottaccio that demarcates the establishment’s passage from profession to art.
THE CUISINE
The unique setting of Il Bottaccio, suspended among the sea nearby and the Apuanians Alps, contributes to its original cuisine where the sea flavours combine with the musky aromas of the woods and the mountains.
The food retains the Mediterranean light, airy and delicate, full bodied and light. The perceptions, sensations and the emotions which the place inspires add a unique flavour to the food which, at Il Bottaccio, has the quintessential qualities that turn professional catering into a form of art.
THE CHEF
The D’Anna family entrusted Il Bottaccio to the Chef-Director Nino Mosca over 25 years ago, and has watched it grow with passion to become not only an institution, but a mecca for the devotees of fine Italian cuisine. In Nino there is the precious gift of equilibrium, acquired from years of dedication, experience and introspection which permits him to blend a luminous creativity with the most profound roots of Italian tradition.
The cuisine of Il Bottaccio is made not only of a physical, material food, but of a much more subtle one – an invisible plankton made of perceptions, sensations, and emotions generated by the atmosphere and environment itself. This beauty, rhythm and poetry give the cuisine of the Bottaccio that unique quality that transports it from being a simple trade to an art.
SPA OTZIUM
The Art of living and making of oneself a masterpiece. Il Bottaccio has created an oasis of being around this philosophy - a Health and Beauty Spa for believers that the body and spirit are reflections of one another, that a healthy body creates a healthy world, and that the two should be nurtured and cared for together.
Its very name, ‘Otzium,’ springs from the Latin word for ‘not doing’-‘ozio’. Here, stripped of every role, and abandoning every identification with the clamour of daily life, time is suspended, and the body begins to dream again, in contact with the truest and most sincere part of itself. This is the real wealth, the only luxury.
The mastery of the masseuse, the aromatherapy and chromo-therapy, are elements of a personally prescribed wellness path that culminates in the rare and unique Hammam - the original Turkish Bath - jewel of hundreds of years of careful study and knowledge of the secrets of the body.
Crossing the threshold of the world of Otzium, you are enriched with its subtle food of perceptions, sensations and emotions, and are enabled to close every internal distance, to take life back into your hands, and to become again responsible for being healthy, happy and free - your natural birth rights.
