Tucked into the Tuscan countryside outside Lucca, this villa is built for the kind of holiday that unspools at its own pace. Vaulted stone ceilings and centuries-old timber beams give the interior real warmth, while the garden terrace – ringed by olive groves and wooded hillsides – pulls you outside from the moment you arrive. A hot tub makes evenings easy. Lucca's medieval walls and the elliptical Piazza dell'Anfiteatro are around 10 km away, Versilia's coast is a straightforward day trip, and the villa sits next to a sister property for groups wanting two neighbouring homes.

About Tuscany

Perhaps the first region to come to mind when you think of holidays in Italy, there’s no denying Tuscany’s beauty. The term “Rolling hills” could have been coined here, where grapes ripen on vines in the folds of the valleys and ancient towns crown hilltops.
