Sitting pretty on a sweeping lawn outside the ancient city of Lucca, this historic villa embraces its roots. Between frescoed walls and antique furniture, the home's traditional style might not be for everyone. Still, it's bright and comfortable, with plenty of space for large groups. The surrounding fruit trees and olive groves will make a beautiful backdrop to birthday dinners or small ceremonies. You can speak to your host to learn more about events hosted here. Throw a swimming pool, fitness room, daily cleaning and a private chef into the mix, and you can see why we added this one to the collection.
