You can tell you'll be in for a grand stay when you arrive at this terracotta Italian casa. A former 18th-century mansion, it's had a modern glam overhaul and is surrounded by the sweeping Tuscan countryside. Lush gardens frame a sparkling pool, and the pretty city of Lucca – known for its Camellias festival and special olive oil – is a short drive away. Walk into a home filled with beamed ceilings, emerald green shutters, rustic tiled floors, and archways for that luxe Mediterranean ambience. Dining and cooking will be a dream thanks to the shaded outdoor kitchen and elegant table. Savour fresh pasta and chilled wine in the sun as you lounge on the sunbeds by the pool. Head to luxurious Italian bedrooms and glamorous bathrooms for some precious alone-time after busy days spent with your loved ones. Horseback riding, tennis, and golf are all within range for a truly fun-packed and relaxing getaway in a stunning part of the world.
