It's hard to do a home like Peacock Billiards justice with words, but we're here to do our best. A transformed country house with traditional Tuscan furniture has been elevated with masterful frescoes and a lot of baroque-style pizzaz that makes this so much more than a place to sleep in. Think of the ornate billiards room, or the gym, a private chapel, the dining room, or any of the regal spaces for that matter. You'll feel different after a few days of relaxing here, resting your eyes on something aesthetically pleasing wherever you look. The medieval city of Lucca is only a short drive away from when you're hungry for something different than your usual restaurant-grade cooking that comes with this home, and you can easily visit some gorgeous hilltop towns if you drive towards the south.

About Lucca
Lucca is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by fortified walls, its core is a warren of pretty piazzas, traditional Tuscan trattorias, and beautifully preserved churches.
