Formerly an olive oil mill, this pet-friendly villa dates back to the 16th century, when it was celebrated for producing some of Lucca’s finest oils from locally harvested olives. Lovingly restored, it combines historic character with rustic elegance, featuring arched stone ceilings, exposed beams, stone floors, and richly draped fabrics. Outside, manicured gardens surround a private pool, with sweeping views across the valley and of Lucca’s iconic medieval towers. A peaceful hideaway for a sun-soaked Tuscan escape.
