Many of my brides have trouble organizing their hen parties back home as often their friends and family are spread all around the world. If this is your case, I have a suggestion. Why not organize the hen party just prior to your Tuscan wedding? In this way, you have all of your family and friends in the same place so no need to ask them to travel twice.

Best of all, there is a place so special, so magical, I can promise you that your girlfriends will be talking about it for days to come. Located on a secluded beach on the Tuscan coast about a 40 minute drive from Lucca, Da Nicola's a cocktail bar slash restaurant, feels like Ibiza brought to Tuscany. The entire beach is lit with torches and low citronella filled candle pots. There is a charming section in the center with bamboo mats and soft cushions for picnic style relaxing as well as more secluded areas with white linen covered arbors and cozy couches for private parties. The cocktail and wine list is superb, the music fun, and the fish fry is to die for. If you'd like to have a memorable hen night in Tuscany, write to me about this location for more information.
