This fabulous home is set in a tranquil rural position, in the hills outside the medieval city of Lucca. With incredible views, a private pool and bags of character, it's everything you could hope for in a Tuscan escape. A barn conversion that spans three floors, inside it's all about terracotta floors, historic beamed ceilings and classic Italian country furnishings. We particularly love the flow of the living space, with its cosy sitting area, well-stocked kitchen and formal dining room and we think the bedrooms here are just knock-out. From the master bedroom with its exposed stone wall and four-poster bed to the two versatile twin rooms, there isn't a single one we wouldn't happily retire to after a day in the sun. And each comes with its own ensuite so there won't be any need to queue for the shower. Outside, the undulating landscape offers excellent viewpoints all over the grounds. Sit outside on the terrace with your drinks in the evening, wander down to the pool or serve your meal under the pretty pergola. And there's an extra surprise in store at this villa – a luxurious Turkish bath on the ground floor.

Home truths

    The home is built on a sloping estate and it comes with plenty of stairs – it might not suit everyone.

    You'll need a car to get around and explore the area – there's plenty of private parking here.

    There are 2 km of gravel roads to reach the home. Please note that the roads are occasionally steep, so they are not suitable for low-height cars or sports cars.

    The swimming pool is open from May to September.

    Two of the double bedrooms also have single beds – which could be perfect for children.

    The twin rooms can be made up as doubles.

    Cots and highchairs are available at no additional cost if you're travelling with little ones
