Breathe in the floral scent as you lounge around on the garden furniture with a good book – you can even sneak out here with the last cannelloni and a cup of coffee to admire the rolling green hills and olive groves beyond – or explore all the nooks and crannies inside until you find your favourite spot.

The historic cobblestone streets of Lucca lie only a fourteen-minute drive away and this Tuscan favourite is well worth a visit, even if only to gaze up at the Renaissance walls encircling the city centre.
