With a cypress-lined driveway and sweeping parklands, first impressions are suitably stately at this 17th-century Tuscan villa. But step inside, and you’ll find a home that’s as practical as it is grand. Alongside heirloom antiques and period features, there’s a family kitchen worthy of any nonna, countless reception rooms to spill out into, and a dedicated study for remote working. Meanwhile, each bedroom has its own en-suite to keep mornings running smoothly. Outside, there’s a lengthy private swimming pool and sun-baked terraces – just as you’d expect of a villa of this stature. When you're ready to explore, make the nearby medieval town of Lucca your first port of call.
