If the Mad Hatter were to summer in Tuscany, we believe this is where he’d stay. Perched high above the beautiful medieval city of Lucca – just over two-miles drive away – this 17th century villa offers a plethora of charming dining areas and quaint living spaces. The interior benefits from eloquent floral furnishings, high vaulted ceilings with old renaissance arches and opulent touches. Lined by cypress trees, the pristine swimming pool really catches the eye, and a veranda covered patio area overlooking picturesque views of the Tuscan hills is truly special. Our favourite spot is hidden in a quiet little pocket around the back of the villa, where a charming woodland dining area can be found – with draping leafy oaks, glowing candle lanterns, and seating for the whole party. Another dining spot can be found steps away – sun-dappled in the early mornings, this is a perfect place for al fresco breakfasts. When you’re not hosting tea parties or sipping on something a little more bubbly, venture to the sweeping hills for seriously scenic hiking trails – that will have you grinning like a Cheshire Cat.
