This authentic Tuscan villa is in the countryside outside of Lucca, 6 kilometres from the city. It’s been beautifully restored to combine period furnishings with modern amenities, so it’s as comfortable as it is grand. The villa sits within a park-like garden full of ancient trees, with a private swimming pool surrounded by sunbeds. The villa’s large kitchen opens to the garden, where there’s an alfresco dining area. Your host can arrange concierge services including cooking classes and private chefs, so you can really relax during your stay.
