Fifteen minutes away from the 16th and 17th-century ramparts of historic Lucca, this home welcomes travellers looking to explore Italy whilst enjoying a peaceful base. And between a sprawling garden, a dozen sun loungers, a private pool and hot tub, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, and green on the horizon for as far as the eye can see, this is that peaceful base. It's worth noting that the owner lives on-site but remains discreet throughout the stay. Location-wise, the nearest restaurant is only 150m away, while Viareggio Beach is a 35km drive.
