While externally this villa might seem like an ancient 17th-century farmhouse, inside there is a wealth of modern features. The panoramic terrace has unbeatable views across the green valleys of Tuscany, and you might even be able to spy the city of Lucca hiding in the valley. This is the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast each morning, breathing in the scent of the mulberry and fig trees that grow in the garden. Inside, original wooden beams adorn the ceilings in the living room and dining space, where you can unwind in the evening. Aspiring chefs will relish the professional kitchen; book a cooking class – featuring ingredients from the garden – to better discover the flavours of this area. The tree-lined roads in Fibbialla are begging to be explored on foot, but you might also take the 25-minute drive into Lucca to explore its historic streets and museums. The beach in Viareggio is also just 30 minutes away, meaning there's plenty of choice for a day trip. In the evening, choose between lighting up the wood-fired pizza oven or the barbecue, and dine outside as the sun sets over the hills, a glass of local wine in hand.
