Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
What used to be a picture-perfect farmhouse is now a luxurious retreat that features everything you need for that perfect Tuscan getaway. Located only six kilometres outside of Lucca, this home will make sightseeing effortless – both Pisa and Florence are well within day-trip distance. The interior of this home is surprisingly regal, featuring high arched ceilings, antique furniture, and lots of original features pristinely preserved for over a hundred years. Finding a spot to relax and enjoy a nice chat in is easy here, as this home has plenty of space where groups of any size can gather. Two large dining areas for joint meals in any weather, a pool where swimmers and tanners can get together, or the perfectly manicured garden for an afternoon picnic. If 'doing nothing' is a top priority for your group, the host can also organise a private chef to take care of the meals, while an almost daily maid service will keep your gorgeous residence spick and span.
