With sprawling views of the Tuscan countryside, this 16th-century villa guarantees a holiday to remember. There’s never a dull moment in the manicured garden, whether you’re hanging out by the saltwater pool, playing a game of table tennis or dunking hunks of focaccia dipped into olive oil made at the estate on the dining terrace. With housekeeping included, you’ll have more time to relax in the sunshine or explore the local area. Speaking of which, you’re around 7 kilometres from a traditional restaurant and about 11 kilometres from the heart of Lucca, famous for its well-preserved Renaissance walls.
