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.

Home truths

    This home comprises a main villa with seven bedrooms and a converted hayloft with three bedrooms, rented as one. Each building has its own living room, dining room, kitchen, and bathrooms.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance. The swimming pool isn't fenced so children will need to be supervised at all times.
