Perched on the rolling Tuscan hills outside the Medieval city of Lucca sits this grandiose home – a memory of a bygone age of Italian opulence. The breathtaking gardens are a particular highlight of the home, with the well-tended green grass lawns surrounded by Mediterranean herb bushes, cypress and cedar trees, and various specimens of exotic palm trees. Enjoy an afternoon cocktail, sitting in the sunshine in one of the wicker armchairs, or challenge a friend to a game of table tennis on the lawn. Alternatively, sit down with the family to enjoy an alfresco meal around the shaded outdoor dinner table, perhaps with food cooked on the mobile barbecue. Take a dip in the pool to cool off from the midday Tuscan sun. Inside the villa, the theme of elegant opulence continues with the beautiful living room, and four unique bedrooms. The master bedroom even boasts an en-suite bathroom with both a shower and a jacuzzi jet bath for unwinding and relaxing after a day of seeing the sights. In the kitchen, the traditional wood-fired oven is perfect for cooking handmade pizza. Finally, there's a children’s playroom for the little ones, as well as a home gym with a running treadmill and a weights bench to keep in shape.

Traditional Italian family living meets modern luxury in this beautiful cottage. Filled with antiques and dark wood furnishings giving a nod to old-world influence, there's something very wholesome about this home. We think you'll love immersing yourself in Italian culture here. Wake up to bedroom views of the golden skies dancing above the Italian landscape. Cook up a big meal and serve it at the outside table while the family scrambles to get theirs first. Stay out late relaxing on the terrace with a glass of Chianti and chat the night away while the vibrant colours of the garden fade into the darkness. The garden area will be the hub of your trip, that's for sure.

We recommend hiring a car here as there's plenty to do and see within a short drive. The historic town of Lucca with its colourful buildings and ancient monuments is only twenty-six-minutes away, and the lovable Pisa with its must-see leaning tower is a thirty-eight-minute drive. No matter where you choose to go, you'll find vibrant Italian culture to soak up (and so much good food). The home itself is located in the village of Sant’Andrea di Compito – a place known for its stunning Camellia trees dating back to the 1800s. We recommend wandering its streets and taking in the medieval charm.

This farmhouse villa is an ideal base for exploring some gorgeous Tuscan cities and towns. Made up of a main house and a hayloft with its own living room and kitchen, there's plenty of space for a family or group of friends to stretch out. We think a couple of areas could do with a touch-up, especially in the hayloft, but the views over the Compitese hills from the private pool are lovely. You'll want a car for exploring, and there's no shortage of hot spots like Lucca, Pisa, and Florence nearby.

Duchy Affair

With hosts who actually produce their own virgin olive oil, this stately villa simply radiates authenticity. The home is comprised of three individual stone cottages perched on the Tuscan hillside, located in the pretty village of Ciciana. You’ll be surrounded by the vast, untouched countryside – hiking trails nearby will acquaint you with local farm animals and horses. At the centre of the home is a pristine saltwater infinity pool, benefitting from panoramic views of the surrounding green plains and the medieval town of Lucca below. This home encourages outdoor living, with charming dining areas dotted around the garden – our favourite being the idyllic little lavender-draped corner, boasting stunning views down the hill. Dine al fresco long into the balmy summer evenings with a much larger eating space on the shaded terrace, equipped with reclining wooden chairs, an outdoor kitchen, and a barbecue. Tear apart the focaccia and devour a chilled glass of vino, socialising and playing games while the meat sizzles away. When you’re not indulging in the local delicacies, explore the cobblestone streets of Lucca at your feet, just a short drive down.

A Dash Of Olive Oil

Found in an ancient hamlet in Lucca, this Italian cottage charms with stone walls and exposed beams.  Because of its age, the interior is that of a more traditional home, which might not be to everyone's taste. Still, it's comfortable and family-friendly.  It's worth noting the sloped ceilings could be hazardous to taller guests, and there's no air conditioning in the third bedroom. With ample outdoor seating, you can take in the greenery on the horizon with a glass of wine. The swimming pool above ground also gives you a unique view of the village. For day trips, venture to Pisa or Lucca – both reachable by car.

The Hillside Stone

You'll find plenty of places to take advantage of the Tuscan sun at this romantic villa, set only a few minutes from historic Lucca. Of course, the private swimming pool is the biggest draw – make a splash in the crystal-clear water first-thing each morning, then paddle over to the Jacuzzi corner and relax in the bubbles with a cocktail in hand. Later on, lounge on either of the two balconies with a glass of local wine, then dig into an Italian feast on the patio as the stars come out.

The design inside is as charming as can be – we're swooning over the subtle geometric wallpaper, wood-beamed ceilings and those classic terracotta floors. Split between two different villas, you'll have more than enough space to spread out – and contemporary comforts like rainfall showers and sleek kitchens will ensure every 21st-century whim is met. 

Location-wise, you're just ten minutes by car from Lucca – the Renaissance-era streets are perfect for a wander. A bit further away are Volterra, Montecarlo and Siena, making this an ideal spot to explore Tuscany's rolling countryside and postcard-worthy scenery. 

Wherefore Art Thou, Romeo?

Watch the glorious sunset over the Tuscan countryside and beautiful Lucca from the terrace of this romantic apartment. Or enjoy a candlelit supper of acquacotta, surrounded by lush greenery and twinkling lights – we adore the outside space here. Inside, there are character features aplenty, thanks to its farmhouse heritage. Think wooden beams, terracotta floor tiles and a large elegant fireplace. Another highlight is the bedroom, with its large painting and views over the Tuscan countryside.

Lucca and its many attractions, such as the Guinigi Tower and the Puccini Museum, are a few miles away. Or the village of Tofori is nearby, while if you like gardens, the Giardino di Villa Garzoni is a must-see.


Diamond Dove

Idyllic views, timeless charm and a wonderful sense of privacy are just some of the highlights of this Tuscan home. Nestled in the hills of Lucca, you can follow hiking trails through olive groves to the village of Fiano di Pescaglia. There is also a saltwater infinity pool, a barbecue and a wood-fired pizza oven (available for an additional fee). Inside, the rooms are simple, traditional and family-friendly with children’s amenities available on request. And for explorations further afield, head to the beaches of Viareggio or take a day trip to nearby Lucca.

This magnificent sixteenth-century villa, set amidst the green countryside, under the Tuscan sun, is a dream spot for a large family get together, or an escape for a group of friends. 

Opulence is the name of the game here, and we were immediately seduced by this home’s charm. Firstly, its setting is truly idyllic, with stunning vistas of rolling green hills, punctuated by dark and majestic cypress trees. Evenings are particularly enchanting, and you’ll no doubt find yourself organising elegant suppers and aperitivos, with the glow of the setting sun as your backdrop. The covered, outdoor dining area invites those communal feasts, with the laid-back, dolce-far-niente vibe. In the heat of the afternoon sun, you can cool yourself in the lovely swimming pool, and work on your tan on one of the sun loungers dotted around. 

The inside of the villa is a stunning mélange of classic Italian style with modern comfort. We love the incredible attention to detail with which the interior has been decorated, and you’ll find yourself wandering around these rooms, admiring the art and the unique pieces scattered about. There is more than enough space to lounge about, with comfy sofas and chairs, and you can also enjoy sumptuous indoor feasts in the large dining room. 

The luxurious feeling continues into the bedrooms, which are plush, spacious, and stylishly decorated, with comfy beds carrying the promise of restful sleep. 
Wake up to the sound of the birds outside, and plan your day of exploring the countryside while enjoying a cup of freshly brewed Italian coffee on your terrace. 


Mascarpone

Free Parking On Street

This sweet stone farmhouse just a 10-minute drive from Lucca is a glorious spot for two couples or a small family to live the Tuscan dream. Through the antique gate in a low stone wall, this hillside home has a private swimming pool surrounded by lovely mature gardens. Rich, green trees shield the expansive garden from view and there’s plenty of space for outdoor lounging. Cook alfresco at the brick summer kitchen and dine by lantern light as crickets sing in the greenery around you. Inside, sandwiched between ancient wooden beams and terracotta floors, are farmhouse-chic interiors in soothing pastel tones. But a quirky suspended staircase and macrame chandelier in the lounge add a little surprise. Bedrooms in pastel pink and dove grey feel fairytale fine beneath the old wooden ceiling of the home. Just a short walk away you’ll find a little market store and a local bar, and a bit further into the village is a pizzeria and bar to enjoy.

Nice to haves

The thoughtful restoration of two farmhouses brought this beautiful villa to life. Encircled by forests, olive groves, flowerbeds, and manicured hedges, it’s the picture of a Tuscan countryside home. From the bedrooms to the poolside loungers, the lush, green views will follow.

Stepping inside, you’ll find a charming interior that’s perfectly set up for family getaways. It’s welcoming and homely, with distinctly Tuscan touches that set the tone for a special stay. But we imagine you’ll be spending most of your time in the garden. Let the blissful hours roll by while you sip coffee beneath the fairytale-like pergola, take long swims in the pool, get lost in a good book, and explore the gorgeous gardens.

By night, the green and blue landscape comes alight with gold, the warm-toned solar lights casting a regal glow across the home. Prepare zingy salads in the farmhouse-style kitchen and get the barbecue going for a grilled feast, before tucking in alfresco beneath the sloping canopy. 

When it’s time to explore, the historic town of Lucca is just 5 miles away. Walk along the famous walls, take a bike ride through its hills, explore the many piazzas, and pop into elegant galleries. 

Be Enchanted

Not only does this villa come with the most heavenly outdoor space, but it's rich with 16th-century character and country elegance. It's set at the top of a hill with awe-inspiring views, best appreciated from the heated indoor jetted pool or through the grand windows. Wake up in regal bedrooms that exude vintage, country-style luxury and throw open the lofty French windows and doors for views of the rolling hills all around you. After breakfast in one of the many glamorous dining areas, have a soak or a sweat in your private spa, sauna and gym before heading to the spectacular outdoor swimming pool. Sunny days will pass in a blur of lounging, chatting and snacking on produce from local stores, while evenings are destined for homemade pizza in the wood oven, drinking local wine and living la dolce vita in your paradisiacal surrounds. If you can tear yourself away from this dream home, we recommend taking a drive to the village of Collodi with its Pinocchio’s Park – Collodi is the hometown of the writer that created the character. The medieval city of Lucca is also a short drive away, offering incredible architecture, food and rich history.

Apollo's Seat

This rural palace, tucked away in a quiet hamlet half an hour from Lucca, is like two homes in one. Such is the contacting styles between the authentic basement and the modern luxury of the ground floor, you'll feel like you've wandered into a new home. 

The idyllic outdoor space is the perfect blend of the two, providing a rustic vibe tinged with deluxe furnishings. Where you spend most of your time depends on your mood and the weather. 

During sunny, summer days, while away the hours in the dreamy space around the pool. Tropical plant life faces into fresh water, creating an exotic oasis, kissed by the summer rays. 

When the months turn cold and you fancy a snug setting, the basement is a restful haven. Rustic, wooden furniture is encompassed by stone walls and a tiled floor. It's an intimate spot to gather for meal times, sharing homemade spaghetti in your secret bunker.

If you fancied exploring beyond your tranquil abode, the cobbled streets of Lucca are just half an hour away. Find cute cafes, vintage wine stores and traditional restaurants. 




Due Casa

In the beautiful Tuscan countryside outside Lucca (a twenty-minute drive away), this villa epitomises la dolce vita. From your vantage point atop a verdant hill, you can gaze out over vineyards and olive groves – explore the local area by car for tastings at local wineries and olive farms. Perhaps bring back some spoils for a spot of aperitivo on the terrace. There are plenty of patios, balconies and shaded leafy nooks to choose from in the garden. Day beds and loungers line the poolside and the view from here, over the misty Tuscan hills all the way to Lucca, is particularly magnificent at sunset. 

The villa itself is a traditional medley of thick stone walls and a terracotta roof; just like the Tuscan farmhouses of old. The decor leans into the rustic vibe with wooden ceilings and stone walls on display, alongside ancient stone hearths in the living room and dining room. A mish-mash of dark wood antique furniture and floral sofas feel straight from the 19th century and a brickwork floor keeps things cool underfoot. Bedrooms are a delight to wake up to, with panoramic countryside views from the wood-shuttered windows. 

Vines & Olive Trees

Throws

With rolling hills and the stretching horizon for company, this home is a perfect fit if you’re looking for a great location and even greater features. From here, take a drive to Florence where you can admire renaissance art before a pizza and pasta making class. Once done, put your newfound knowledge – and the dual barbecue and pizza oven back at the villa – to good use with dough skills and imaginative toppings. 

Also surrounding you are some of the most vibrant cafes and restaurants, as well as tourist attractions for the bucket list. Leaving might prove difficult though, especially when there's a spa, jacuzzi, and beautiful pool at your fingertips. After a morning spent focussing on wellness and rejuvenation, sink into the generous sofa and catch up on reading before an alfresco lunch under the poolside gazebo.  

Michelangelo

Just a short drive from Lucca, this traditional farmhouse opens its doors to the simple pleasures of Italian living. Consisting of a main house and an adjoining hayloft (with its own kitchen) which also has A/C, this is a great option for groups in search of peace, privacy and a beautiful setting. The private pool is ideal for afternoon dips, and there's a large garden and plenty to explore in the surroundings. Outside you can follow hiking trails straight from the door, while cities like Pisa and Florence are also within driving distance. 



Beauty of Tuscany 

With some of Tuscany's best views, it would be easy to overlook the stunning features of the villa itself – but this home is no one-trick pony. The exterior of this spot is unforgettable, from splashing in the outdoor pool to dinner on the patio as the sun sets. With traditional features and sharp design, there's an understated elegance to the interiors. Backlighting warms the brickwork and wooden beams of traditional rooms, while Perspex furniture and pops of modern art add a sense of fun. Bedrooms are similarly as subtle, with muted stencil prints, arched wooden ceilings, and a mix of antique and modern furnishings – though all share the same stellar views through shuttered windows.

This stunning villa is situated in the hills of Tuscany, in a striking setting overlooking Lago di Massaciuccoli. From this convenient base, you can take a short boat trip to Gran Teatro Puccini, visit the beaches of Versilia, and easily drive to Lucca and Pisa. The villa is surrounded by lush parkland, making it feel secluded and peaceful. The tranquillity continues in the beautiful gardens and in the shade of the pergola. Relaxing is easy here – there's a private pool and wellness area with a hot tub and sauna. Inside, the kitchen is perfect for preparing large family feasts – what could be better?


Tuscan Opulence

In the hills east of Lucca, this luxury villa promises an unforgettable stay. Outside, a panoramic terrace and a seasonal swimming pool invite you to lounge in the Tuscan sun all day. More surprises await indoors, our favourite being the spa area with a Finnish sauna, steam bath, and multi-sensory hydrotherapy shower. The decor is timeless and elegant, mixing classic Italian design with contemporary touches. Seven comfortable bedrooms mean you'll have plenty of room to spread out. For an upscale getaway in the heart of Tuscany, you can't go wrong.

Timeless Delights

Desk / Workplace

Set on a paved road amidst its private vineyards rests this secluded spot in the heart of Tuscany. Picture yourself soaking up blissful vistas of the region's rolling hills from by the pool or shaded alfresco dining area. Equipped with its own diving board, the pool area stays lit during the evenings as poolside lanterns line the patio on one side while comfy day beds line up along the other. The garden's stone walls ensure privacy and seclusion when relaxing outside, while stunning original features inside guarantee a quintessentially Tuscan experience. Terracotta tiles and stone walls have been given a modern twist with warm, neutral-toned rugs and sofas in the living room, bringing home comforts to an otherwise relatively traditionally designed space. Classic artwork and antique furniture add heaps of personality while soft, high-quality cushions and decorative finishing touches throughout the bedrooms make for a plush and well-balanced stay. Located just a two-minute walk away from the Villa Torrigiani Estate – the only baroque Villa in Tuscany, you'll be staying on what used to be the old farm to the iconic villa which was once the residence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Lucca to the King Louis XIV's court in Versailles. The Villa Torrigiani Estate is well worth a visit for its manicured gardens, grand interiors and fascinating history alone. With the nearest village and its shops and grocery stores just a five-minute drive away– convenience is key, and you'll be on your way to sampling some of the local delicacies in no time. Did we mention the wine? You'll be staying on a property with its own vineyard, after all. From here, you'll also be well-positioned for visiting the historic town of Lucca – just a twenty-minute drive away as well as the region's local beaches, which are reachable from the house in thirty-five minutes.

The very definition of Italian romance, this beautiful home in the village of Orentano is an ode to country living and sweet serenity. Sitting within the grounds of a larger villa, this apartment blends rustic charm with modern comforts to create a most memorable stay. 
 
From its tiled floors to its beamed ceilings, there’s an air of old Tuscan tradition here, bringing together classical and contemporary furnishings in elegant fashion. We love the large windows here that give way to views of the shared grounds – a lush green garden dotted with centuries-old trees and a glistening communal pool framed by sun loungers. Spend your days taking cool dips in its waters, soaking up the sun on the deck chairs and enjoying the table tennis, foosball and football field on offer. You’ve also got a private alfresco dining area adjacent to your apartment, the ideal spot to gather for sunny breakfasts or a celebratory barbecue feast under the stars. 
 
At the end of a fun day, retreat to your beautifully curated bedrooms for a dreamy night’s sleep, and wake to the prospect of another day of fun, filled with bicycle rides around the stunning countryside and cooking classes organised by your wonderfully friendly hosts who live on-site in a neighbouring apartment. 
 
While you could easily spend your entire stay luxuriating in your home's breathtaking setting, take some time to visit the nearby cultural sights of Pisa (just over forty minutes away by car) and Lucca (just under a thirty-minute drive).  


Il Limoneto 

If you’re a wine connoisseur, then this elegant Tuscan home, set on a winery, could be for you. There are beautiful views over the private vineyards and countryside from the infinity swimming pool. Inside, we love the conservatory – the perfect place to dine under the stars. The main bedroom suite is another highlight of this home, as you can see. You may not want to leave this luxurious farmhouse, but if you do there are many charming towns nearby to explore – we’d recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.

Making full use of its elevated hillside position, this villa is built tall across three floors and two levels of terraces. Windows line the walls that face out across the wide-open plains of Versilia with its patchwork of sparkling lakes, woodlands and terracotta-tiled towns. Nearby wooded hillsides lead your eye out to the distant mountains rising beyond. Whether you’re swimming in the infinity pool, lounging on the outdoor sofas or gazing out of the panoramic windows, this mesmerising view greets you from all angles. Inside, you’ll find bright and breezy living areas with a feminine feel – think floats of white chiffon, expanses of champagne marble, and white linen curtains fluttering in the breeze. Gardens and patio areas surround the villa, with discreet hedge screens making it feel private despite its neighbours. The large heated whirlpool hot tub is elevated above the swimming pool and backed by a lounge area – perfect for socialising with your whole group. Planted with roses and Mediterranean herbs, the garden's scents combine with the views to stir up all the senses. 

Distant Horizon

Tennis Court

Set on an estate dotted with trees, shrubs, and other native foliage, this home ecompasses the entire first floor of an ancient villa in Orentano. Despite sharing things like the pool, tennis court, and soccer field with another home, there is enough room on the property for it to still feel private. That’s probably helped along by the fact that you have your own private garden and barbecue – not to mention the sheer size of the home itself. Move easily between rooms and use the easy go-between as an excuse to nip into the kitchen for another cup of coffee and a dozen more biscotti to take back to where you’re reading on the plush sofa. Take the spiral staircase up to the loft where you’ll find the rustic bedrooms and bathrooms for when you’re ready to turn in at night. When you think loft, you might conjure up images of a tight squeeze, but the addition of the skylights in almost every room here allows the light to make the space feel more open. 

With the host and his family living on the estate, you’ll sometimes find yourself around the table enjoying their homemade pasta alfresco with soft music playing in the background. There’s also a brick pizza oven here, so don’t be surprised if you eat more margarita than you’d care to – we know, that is not even remotely possible. 

When you’re not enjoying the home, you can make a trip to Pisa, Voltera, or Florence – each with their unique charm – or borrow the bicycles and simply explore the surroundings on two wheels instead of four. After a day of activity under the Tuscan sun, take a late-night swim in the heated pool, and when you’re ready to return inside, why not linger a little while longer to gaze up at the stars. 

Tuscan Welcome

Located in the secluded countryside, halfway between Lucca and the beaches of Versili, this renovated Tuscan farmhouse is the ultimate Italian retreat. Situated on a hilltop, views are in abundance. The decor is rustic and charming, and there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor communal space for entertaining. The private pool is perfect for those hot balmy days, and the balcony is a nice touch too. We’re particularly fond of the covered outdoor dining area – ideal for long dinners late into the night. If you’re looking to explore further afield, the medieval town of Lucca is a short drive away. 

Campari & Olive

Free Parking

Fenced Garden

This rustic villa with a private Jacuzzi, sauna, and pool has charm and green shutters in spades. Though the interiors may feel dated, we can forgive that for its outstanding location. Set in a peaceful suburb of Lucca (10km), there are restaurants and shops within walking distance, and Pisa, Florence, and the coastal resort of Viareggio are all within easy reach for day trips. Perfect for three couples wanting to holiday together without crowding each other, each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom. It's worth noting though only one of the bedrooms has air-conditioning, so you'll need to pull straws for that. 

Wild Lucca

Nestled on a hill and surrounded by stunning Tuscan countryside, this beautiful farmhouse gazes out at Lucca below. With so much to love about this home, it’s difficult to know where to start – so let’s head indoors. Romantic, rustic, utterly charming – this is a space for making treasured memories with loved ones. Deep sofas and chairs invite you to settle down and relax under the exposed wooden beams, perfect for spending social time together, while chandeliers light up the rooms with a little touch of luxury. The kitchen is sleek and modern, and more than able to put your culinary skills to the test – cooking here is an absolute joy. As you pad around the home to find the bedrooms, you won’t be disappointed. Each dressed in its own signature style, they welcome you in and envelope you in a hug.
 
Outdoors, there’s an abundance of areas to enjoy a bottle of wine and drink in the views or simply settle down for some quiet time to get lost in a good book. The infinity pool will entice you in, and after swimming a few lengths, you can lounge in the jacuzzi corner and let calmness wash over you along with the bubbles. Surrounded by nearly seven hundred olive trees (which produce exquisite olive oil, by the way), the only problem you may find with this home is that you’ll never want to leave.

Pictures of Tuscany

Courtyard

With a big garden, private pool and alfresco dining terrace, it’s easy to enjoy lazy days in the sun at this Tuscan villa. And while you’re located in the tranquillity of the countryside, there are shops and restaurants within walking distance, so you get the best of both worlds here. It’s worth noting that the villa has its own consecrated chapel, so is a great choice for anyone planning a wedding or special event. And for a slice of Italian history, the atmospheric town of Lucca is just eight kilometres away.

The Floral Garden

Many illustrious figures throughout history have made Tuscany what it is today. From Leonardo da Vinci to Galileo, their masterpieces and works have shaped the region, drawing us in with a thirst for exploration and experience. The landscape is dotted with works of art in the form of cities like Florence, and the hillsides are so untainted it’s as if they’ve been captured by an artist on canvas forever. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and we can’t think of a better phrase to describe this home. Windows, doorways and shutters seize the views of Tuscany from every possible angle, providing snapshots of the world outside like moving pictures. There’s a level of luxury in this home which mirrors the stately historical architecture, making you feel as if you’ve stepped into the shoes of Italian society. And what better way to honour those who have come before, than by engaging in the tradition of an aperitivo in the garden before dinner? Saluti.  

Tactile Artistry

Heated Pool

This traditional stone villa surrounded by olive groves and vineyards is where to go if you want to embrace la dolce vita. Not only are the rural surroundings rather easy on the eye, but there's a dazzling array of amenities to be found at the address that'll make your stay unforgettable.

When it comes to enjoying the region's famously agreeable climate, you're spoilt for choice. There are almost enough alfresco dining tables to sit somewhere different for every meal of your stay and there's both a pizza oven and barbecue to whip up lavish feasts. To work up an appetite, head over to one of the two swimming pools – one in the middle of the verdant grounds and the other hidden away among stone walls and vaulted ceilings on the home's lower floors. The hot tub on the terrace adds another welcome option.

Inside, there's a traditional flavour to the home, with wooden ceiling beams and exposed patches of stonework lending a rustic charm. At the same time, chandeliers in many of the rooms and gilded mirrors bring a sprinkling of glamour to proceedings, too. We defy anybody not to be wowed by the regal bedrooms, as well.

In the local area, carefree days can be spent walking through the Tuscan countryside and stopping off at pretty villages. There are larger cities well within reach, too – Lucca is only 11km to the east, for example, and Pisa is 28km away.

A Touch of the Extraordinary

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) 

Compitese Gardens

Escape the crowds and live la dolce vita at this traditional farmhouse fringing the charming Tuscan village of Orentano. While exposed stonework, wooden beams, and a grand fireplace show the bones of the farmhouse's historical past, the rest of this swoon-worthy home is reimagined for luxurious, modern living. Between the lofty living spaces commanding picture-perfect views of the Tuscan rolling hills, the sumptuous bedrooms, and the sprawling lawned terraces outside, there's more than enough space to make yourselves at home in style here. Pad out with your morning expresso to soak up the early Tuscan rays from the loungers. Or up the ante with a jog around the acres of countryside that surround this magnificent abode – with a pit stop at the village bakery (seven minutes on foot) to pick up breakfast pastries. Then while away the rest of the day beneath the shady pergola, splash about in the swimming pool or rejuvenate in the cavernous indoor jacuzzi spa overlooking the garden. When thoughts turn to food, fire up the wood-burning pizza oven or barbecue for alfresco dining on the veranda - or take an early evening stroll into the village (seven minutes on foot) for authentic restaurants and a taste of Tuscan life.

Casa Dolce Casa

The cherry on top of a bucolic Tuscan vista, this home feels grand yet cosy at the same time. With a sweeping centrepiece staircase and marble floors set next to wooden beams and exposed stonework, it’s part mini chateau, part homely farmhouse. The open-plan kitchen and dining room opens up onto the terrace, making outdoor living easy, and there’s another covered dining area outside, with glorious countryside views. Upstairs, there’s a separate snug for quiet evenings, which leads on up to the comfortable and refined bedrooms, furnished with traditional Italian pieces. Surrounded by verdant views, you’ll easily find a spot to unwind, whether it's reclining with an aperitivo or soaking tired legs in the shaded hot tub. There are hiking trails aplenty in the countryside around, through olive groves and vineyards. Just a 10-minute drive south of Lucca, this is a great spot for exploring Tuscany. 

Piccolo Rosso

Garden Games

Set on the rolling hills of Montecarlo and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, you'll find yourself in awe of the countryside views when you stay at this traditional villa. From the moment you arrive and enter the gated driveway, you'll realise this is somewhere special. Completely fenced and bordered with hedges, fragrant flowers and antique terracotta pots, the 5,000sqm garden here feels more like a park. Kids will enjoy the outdoor ping pong table, while the adults enjoy sipping sundowners and sharing nibbles in the alfresco dining space, surrounded by the scents of the surrounding vineyards. And let's not forget the Roman-style pool, lined in beautiful blue mosaic tiles with hydromassage jets that invite you to lean back and relax. Inside, this home is just as impressive, with beautiful artwork and elegant antique furniture everywhere you look. We particularly love the green marble spiral staircase, which adds an air of opulence to the space. We're sure you'll be more than content here, but if you want to venture out, the ancient Montecarlo Fortress is close by.

Orange Hill

Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, this villa offers rest and relaxation for a family or group of friends in the Tuscan countryside. You’ll spend most of your time outside here, thanks to the private swimming pool, dining terrace and four-poster sunbed. But when you do head inside, we recommend making a beeline for the Jacuzzi. Location-wise, restaurants are a short drive away if you don’t fancy cooking. The village of Montecarlo is around a five-minute drive away, and Lucca is reached in around fifteen minutes by car.

Terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, gorgeous views of the Tuscan countryside – there's no doubt that this villa is bursting with traditional charm. Inside, the bright and characterful living area is perfect for lazy mornings and cosy nights at home, with more than enough space to spread out and get comfortable. Downstairs in the basement suite, there's even more room. A small kitchen, living area and an en-suite bedroom make it a perfect option for those craving a little extra peace and quiet. But there's no denying that the piece de resistance here is the tranquil garden. The view alone is mesmerising – just imagine the outlook you'll have as the sun sets over the valley – and the open green space and sparkling pool only add to the magic. While away the afternoons in the water before firing up the traditional pizza oven for an alfresco dinner, sharing a bottle of Tuscany's world-renowned wine around the outdoor table as the evening draws to a close.

If you can pull yourself away from the idyllic garden, the weekly market in Ruota is the perfect spot to shop for fresh fruit and local produce. Lucca is only a thirty-minute drive away if you fancy a day of sightseeing, and all the other famous Tuscan cities are within easy reach by car, including Pisa (forty minutes), Pietrasanta (about an hour) and Florence (an hour and fifteen minutes).
