Wrapped in floral beauty, this charming villa sits in the rolling hills of the Lucchesia. With a restored history, this home oozes class through the unique blend of exposed beams, terracotta floors and marble worktops – it’s hard to imagine that it was once a storage and drying room for chestnuts. The elegant rooms are decorated with antiques yet tastefully furnished for a contemporary touch and when bedtime calls, you’ll find yourself effortlessly drifting off into a peaceful night’s sleep with each bedroom populated with comfy cushions and cosy beamed ceilings. As the sun rises, venture outside and you’ll be greeted with the scent of aromatic herbs, sweet flowers and zesty orange trees. The vine-covered pergola is where you can enjoy a breakfast spread alfresco, surrounded by loved ones, after which, you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the private pool with sprawling views of Tuscany. When you need a little respite from the sun, sneak off under the covered terrace and settle down on the sofa with a good book. While this villa offers secluded peace and beauty, you’re also within a comfortable distance of many historic towns and cities, from Florence to Pisa and Montecarlo di Lucca. Don’t forget to dip your toes into the golden sand of Versilia beach on your travels.
