Dating back to the 1600s, this hunting lodge in the Lucca countryside features inspiring views, original frescoes and plenty of modern conveniences. Three living areas provide enough room for the whole group to spread out and two ground-floor bedrooms mean those who struggle with stairs don’t have to miss out. Outside, it’s just as impressive. A brook flows through the garden and the swimming pool is sure to be a hit. Although there are plenty of dining spaces here, if you fancy eating out, the restaurants of Lucca and Pisa are less than a thirty-minute drive away.
