Bask in the warming glow of this gracefully elegant home, nestled among rolling hills, lush forests, private olive groves and its very own lake. Boasting a private pool, games room, golf training field, tennis court, gym and sauna, as well as a private breakfast chef and daily maid, we are sure that any guest to visit this home will want for nothing. The villa truly embodies relaxation at its finest, where time stops while the world outside keeps on spinning. Wake up in the morning with that first smooth cup of coffee to watch the sunrise over the stunning foothills of North Lucca, before heading down to a sumptuous, hearty breakfast, lovingly prepared for you by the villa's private chef. Throughout the day, soak up the balmy Mediterranean sun on plush sun loungers while younger guests cool off in the pool. A game of tennis or practise round of golf are only a short walk away and completely private. In the evenings, feast on local delights with a view from the outdoor dining area, sampling the very best Tuscan wines from the cellar. If you can tear yourself away from this extravagant escape, there are a wealth of exciting opportunities in the area, ready and waiting for you to explore. The breathtaking city of Lucca is fifteen minutes away, where medieval walls and historic sites, restaurants, wine bars and gelaterias fill the streets with delectable smells and eclectic sounds. The perfect picture can also be taken at the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, whose city lies forty minutes by car from home, but be sure to set off early as we recommend a full day here to really delve deep into the culture and see everything this gorgeous city has to offer.
