This is one of the most authentic villas in the Lucca area, going back to the 17th century, and has preserved the refinement and elegance of that historical period. The owners live in the house during the winter, but leave all of the precious furnishings in the villa when it is given over to guests. Antique furniture, paintings and 18th century objects along with luxurious materials and curtains. The grounds, which are completely enclosed, are shaped by paths bordered with flowerbeds, scented rose-gardens and tall trees, and in the upper part is a 6x14m swimming-pool, well-equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs, shower and gazebo. Beyond the grounds there is also a property with over 20 hectacres of olive trees. The villa has satellite-TV, stereo with CD player, broad-band internet connection, laundry and domestic staff who, besides cleaning the house can also prepare you lunch or dinner. The villa lies about 6 kms from the centre of Lucca and from the entrance to the motorway which leads to Florence (75 kms) or to the versilian coast (Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi) 35 kms away. The airport at Pisa is about 18 kms away.
