The views from this hillside villa, spanning Tuscany's rolling fields to Lucca's city lights, will leave you awestruck. Floating in the infinity pool, sipping a glass of Italian red on the terrace, dining alfresco as the sun goes down – nearly every spot outdoors offers picture-perfect panoramas. Though you'll likely spend all your time admiring the scenery or visiting nearby Lucca (a ten-minute drive away), the interiors are just as impressive. They're a perfect blend of contemporary elegance and rustic charm, offering more than enough space to spread out and relax. Just note that young children and those with limited mobility may find the steep stairs a bit challenging due to its hilly location.
