The history of Borgo Giusto is as ancient as the stones used in this area from time immemorial, to build houses, and as simple as the life of humble peasant families who lived here for centuries, passing on from generation to generation the art of labouring in olive and vine groves, to produce the typically golden olive oil and fine wines of their beloved country.
It was hard work in those steep hills; Borgo's historty goes back to the sixteenth century; the houses were built close to one another, in the random space allowed by the available ground; and so in time a cluster of small buildings became a village, through which ran narrow paths and ramps, widening up onto a small buildings became a village, through which ran narrow paths and ramps, widening up onto a small square.
Each guest has following available:
A large swimming pool, 20 m in length, 10 m in width and 1,40 to 90 cm in height.
A childrens swimming pool, 9,40 m by 4,50 with a height of 50 cm. Pool side drinks and snacks are on offer throughout the day for those wishing to relax in peaceful surroundings.
A Jacuzzi, for 4 people.
In the Borgo there is a restaurant typical of the place with three cosy dining rooms carved out of what at one time were the peasants' huts, where you can savour the dishes of the ancient Lucca tradition prepared by the cook in the old-fashioned original manner. Beef tordelli al pomodoro, frantoiana soup, trenette al pesto (long noodles in a sauce of ground herbs and oil) maltagliati pasta and spelt and bean soup, just to mention only a few of the first courses, but also exquisite Tuscan meats on the grille or chestnut-meal cakes with ricotta cheese, or onion omelets, or fried rabbit, or steamed chicken with olives.
And still more: the good vegetables from the Ca' di Giusto farm, cooked in wood-burning ovens in the Borgo just like the bread or the pastries. Near the Borgo's little piazza there is a shop where one can buy every product from the farm from the excellent olive oil, through the wine, the honey or the jams and preserves; near the piazza too, set between the large pool and the playground, there is the bar with a small dining room at the guest's disposal.

Four new trails now depart from the Borgo to wind through an unspoiled nature and let the visitor take panoramic walks to reach a number of mediaeval villages in the neighborhood, or the church in Partigliano, where Sunday mass is celebrated by Franciscan brother Cesarino, or the meadows on mount Guzzanello with its ancient Romitorio or hermitage. For these and other paths horses or mountain bikes can be rented.
