If you’re looking for a destination home for your next family reunion or getaway with friends, then this fifteenth-century Italian villa could be the one. Nestled in the hilltops, you’ll be treated to views of the Tuscan countryside from the garden. The home consists of a main villa and separate converted hayloft rented as one, so you’ll be doubling up on kitchens, dining rooms, and living rooms here. Boasting a pool, day beds, a private sauna, and a choice of alfresco seating spots, you’ll find plenty of places to relax. And when you get hungry, the wood-fired pizza oven is waiting. Location-wise, you’re a ten-minute drive from the walled city of Lucca, and half an hour from the beaches of Versilia.
