With a long history of literary greatness, Tuscany has inspired countless poets, playwrights, and authors, and we can see why just by looking at this home. Sonnets could be written about the outdoor area alone, with rhymes of fairy-lit patios, a long swimming pool and romantic woven wicker furniture. The interiors are similarly poetic, drawing on the building's 500-year-old history, with marble sculptures and glass chandeliers side by side with a huge wood-burning oven and stonework dating back to the 1500s. Countless stories have played out in the wooden-beamed bedrooms, with their plush, velvet head-boarded beds, ornate antique furniture and pretty French doors – move fast to nab the en-suite rooms which have deep claw-footed tubs or jacuzzi baths. What's really worth writing home about is the social space; from garden pergolas to grand dining rooms, this home will be recounted in tales for years to come.

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. Most of the action happens in Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, a vast central square lined with alfresco restaurants and Renaissance-era architecture.
