Daughter of Jupiter Pescaglia, Tuscany

Property Description

This fabulous home is set in a tranquil rural position, in the hills outside the medieval city of Lucca. With incredible views, a private pool and bags of character, it's everything you could hope for in a Tuscan escape.

A barn conversion that spans three floors, inside it's all about terracotta floors, historic beamed ceilings and classic Italian country furnishings. We particularly love the flow of the living space, with its cosy sitting area, well-stocked kitchen and formal dining room and we think the bedrooms here are just knock-out. From the master bedroom with its exposed stone wall and four-poster bed to the two versatile twin rooms, there isn't a single one we wouldn't happily retire to after a day in the sun. And each comes with its own ensuite so there won't be any need to queue for the shower.

Outside, the undulating landscape offers excellent viewpoints all over the grounds. Sit outside on the terrace with your drinks in the evening, wander down to the pool or serve your meal under the pretty pergola. And there's an extra surprise in store at this villa – a luxurious Turkish bath on the ground floor.
