Perched above the historic city of Lucca, this sweet cottage captures dreamy Tuscan living at its best. What won us over was the location, but step inside and every corner carries traces of the past, from exposed wooden beams to timeworn stone walls, balanced by understated modern luxury, with sumptuous bedrooms and a contemporary kitchen. The home is made for sun-soaked mornings reading in the garden and long afternoons that stretch into evening as the fire glows. If you can tear yourself away, you’re in the heart of Tuscan wine country, with wineries nearby for tastings and hiking trails through the hills. When you’re ready for culture, the walled city of Lucca is just a fifteen-minute drive away.
