With parts of the home built in the 16th century, this noble villa invites you to step back in time, slow right down, and unwind amidst the natural beauty of the rolling Tuscan hills. With nothing but unspoilt views of the surrounding vineyards, woods and olive groves, it's a chance to really relax with your family and friends. You're also a fifteen-minute drive from the medieval city of Lucca, so you can do a spot of sightseeing while picking up the necessities for an alfresco banquet back at home. The town is steeped in culture, with historical monuments, tasty eateries and hidden wine bars at every turn – plus you're only forty minutes from the coast by car. Back at the villa, spend your days lazing on sun loungers in the shade before cooling off with a dip in your private pool. There's plenty of space to sprawl out, inside and out, so from the moment you arrive, you'll feel completely at ease. The beautifully kept terraced gardens are ideal for morning strolls with a coffee, while you'll notice the high-end touch that's been given to the recently renovated interiors – from the stylish furnishings to the sleek chef's kitchen...
