Just a few miles from Lucca, this Tuscan home offers an authentic Italian experience. Surrounded by orchards, rolling hills, and olive groves, this is the perfect choice for a peaceful escape. With multiple living spaces inside and out, a private pool, and beautiful gardens, it’s a great option for large groups. There’s a traditional Tuscan kitchen and a barbecue, though you won’t need to cook unless you really want to, as the villa is staffed with a private chef – what could be better than feasting on fresh pasta beneath a rose-covered gazebo?
