Description:
Become a part of a hamlet with this Lucca villa rental, great for a family traveling together. Whether you're relaxing at this Tuscany vacation villa for rent or exploring the surrounding area, you'll never be bored. On-site, you'll have access to the enormous shared swimming pool, the gym, and even a Turkish bath! And since this villa in Tuscany is within a few minutes' drive of Lucca-- you will have a beautiful medieval city to explore.

Surrounded by olive groves, this small hamlet consists of four restored villas, three of which are available for rental [the fourth is the owner's residence]. The estate has views over Lucca and towards Pisa. The exterior areas are shared between the villas, and include an enormous swimming pool [17m x 8m] with hydromassage and landscaped gardens. There is also a spacious 130 m2 conference room [available on request, seats 50-70 pax] with a fireplace and a large, fully equipped kitchen with microwave, as well as an exterior barbecue and wood burning oven. A fully equipped gym is located beneath the conference area, with an underwater window onto the pool! A wine bar offers local wines and olive oils.

This villa complex is located in the hills surrounding Lucca, in a beautiful position. It is close to Pieve Santo Stefano, where there are two excellent restaurants. Lucca is worth enjoying simply for its medieval charm, but there are also a number of interesting sights to visit, as well as a great antique market held on the third Sunday of each month. The Duomo di San Martino and the Church of San Michele in Foro are both gorgeous examples of period architecture, while the Casa di Puccini, where the composer was born, has been transformed into a small museum in his honor. You can also climb the 130 foot Torre Guinigi, but on the other hand viewing the tree-topped tower from below might be just as enjoyable… and a lot less work! Also nearby is the town of Pisa, famed of course for its less-than-level tower, and along the coast to the north you'll run into Pietrasanta and the marble town of Carrara. Florence is also certainly within day trip distance, as there are frequent trains passing Lucca in that direction.
