Tucked into the Tuscan countryside on the outskirts of Lucca, this villa is built for groups who want to slow right down together. A large pool sits at the heart of the outdoor space, ringed by manicured lawns and mature olive trees, with a shaded porch connecting it to the living room inside. Timber-beamed ceilings and sweeping windows give the interior real presence, while a ground-floor bedroom opens directly onto a sun-filled garden gazebo. Lucca's medieval centre, cathedral, and the elliptical Piazza dell'Anfiteatro are all within reach – a fifteen-minute drive from the villa.

You're in the countryside on the outskirts of Lucca, so you'll want a car for getting into town and picking up supplies. The historic centre is a short drive away rather than walkable from here.
