You’ll find this elegant abode in the hillside neighbourhood of Monte San Quirico, surrounded by rolling countryside. It’s just 3 kilometres from the old town of Lucca, so you can easily stroll to the Walls and explore the city. When you’re not dining out in fabulous restaurants, shopping, or meandering through the piazzas with a gelato, you might spend your time in the countryside. Hike or cycle through quaint villages, possibly stopping at a vineyard or two. Of course, you might also find that you’re entirely content to stay put. This villa is magnificent, after all. Begin each morning with coffee on the terrace, admiring the verdant views. You might spend your time reading and unwinding in the gorgeous lounge, which features a stunning chandelier. Later on, you’ll swim in the above-ground private pool, and dry off on a sun lounger. Doze in the sweetly scented garden, enjoying the peace and quiet. In the evening, cook together in the traditional country kitchen, and dine alfresco. The dining area is wonderful, with parasols for when the sun is shining. Sit out late around the table, sharing great food, wine and company under the stars.
