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.
