This traditional stone farmhouse offers a tranquil retreat surrounded by leafy hills, yet sits within easy reach of plenty of cultural sightseeing opportunities with Lucca's centre just 14 kilometres away. Inside, you’ll find Cotto-tiled floors and Italian heirloom furnishings, with ample space to recline and unwind when you're not outside enjoying the beautiful grounds. With the warm Mediterranean climate, take advantage of the garden with its plump outdoor sofas and sun-dappled patio, perfect for alfresco aperitivos on long balmy evenings. Despite its quiet location, the area offers rolling vineyards, a botanical garden and nearby lakes, such as Lago Gherardesca, only a short drive away. And if you’re looking to explore a little further afield, hop in the car to explore Pisa (twenty-five minutes), Florence (an hour), the Cinque Terre (an hour) and Volterra (forty-five minutes)
