This charming villa feels a million miles from the city, but it’s only a fifteen-minute drive from the historic centre of Lucca. Offering the best of both worlds, here, you can easily see the sights in the morning and return to the villa for an afternoon of sunbathing by the private heated pool. The large garden is also home to a covered veranda perfect for outdoor dining, and a lounge area where you can admire the rural views. Inside, traditional Tuscan decor is at the forefront – look forward to terracotta tiles, wooden beams, and rustic touches.
