About this property

Villa degli Archi, Private pool, mountain views, WIFI, 3 terraces, mature garden

This delightful spacious and very comfortable property oozes Tuscan character with original beamed ceilings, traditional windows and flooring, internal shutters and open fireplaces etc. Modern twists have brought the house into the 21st Century via well equipped modern kitchens, comfortable furniture and of course the private pool which is located in a well loved mature garden...

The owners have cleverly managed to create a 'home from home' with good use of light, space, and furnishings, resulting in a loved, comfortable and relaxed and peaceful feel to the property. The owners regularly use this home for special family gatherings.

There are 3 wonderful terraces overlooking the mature well kept gardens which have peaceful views of the mountains, and hilltop villages in the distance. Two of the terraces are framed by Tuscan Arches which just create a sense of relaxation, and the third is uncovered, on the side of the house, with lots of greenery and plants adding to the atmosphere.

There are 4 double bedrooms, 2 twins (one of which can also be a double) and a single room . Two of the bedrooms are double aspect and a third has 3 windows, ensuring the most is made of the natural light, and most rooms have amazing views.
There is also a sofabed if required.

Plenty of bathroom space is included:
2 family bathrooms with bathtubs and showers over, basins, WC's and bidets;
2 shower rooms with basin and WC.
1 cloakroom with basin and WC only

The two kitchens are light and airy and are equipped as follows:

Kitchen 1 - double butler sink; double oven; 5 ring hob; dishwasher; fridge/freezer. This kitchen has an archway leading through to vast living diner with open fireplace, comfortable seating, and dining table. There are doors leading to stunning arched terrace which is an area that is difficult to leave!
Kitchen 2 - is equipped with double butler style sink; double oven; 5 ring hob; fridge freezer; dishwasher; marble work tops….This kitchen also leads through to dining room, with door leading to second terrace with steps down to pool. The outdoor terraces are particularly beautiful and are the 'piece di resistance'. Arched with amazing views and equipped with relaxing furniture and dining tables.
wifi is in situ.

Outside, there is a beautiful mature, gated, private and peaceful garden with newly refurbished pool, of 10M x 5M , and with a depth ranging from 1.2M to 2.4,M ,so great for a 'proper' swim!
There is plenty of room to relax alone or together, in the sun or shade, and there is even a badminton area...

In the basement there is a laundry room and games room with ping pong table. This area leads directly out to garden.

A little about the area:
Situated on the far edge of the peaceful pretty hillside village of San Romano, this house is ideally located for exploring, being just a 40 minute drive north of Lucca.
The village itself does not have any facilities, and has only 60 inhabitants although fresh bread, cheese and vegetables are sold here.
The villa is adjacent to the village on one side and has open uninterrupted countryside on the other…
The town of Borgo a Mozzano with its bars, restaurants, shops, small Friday morning market and train station are a 15 minute drive away.
Mediaeval walled city of Lucca - 40 minutes
Pisa – 1 hr
Florence – 90 minutes
Mediaeval town of Barga – 20 minutes
Spa town of Bagni di Lucca – 20 minutes
Beach – 1 hour

San Romano Villa
Beautiful Villa in a majestic location with all the amenities you could possibly require to make your stay a pleasant one. The whole family enjoyed the pool, table tennis table and BBQ provided. The mountain views are spectacular and the 3 levels gave everyone a chance to find their own space when needed. Only drawback was the 4 klms of narrow winding road to get to the Villa from the main road but we would definitely return.

Amazing and authentic Tuscan villa
We enjoyed every moment at this authentic villa situated at the most breathtaking Mountain View side. House was exactly as advertised- actually even better, lot of amenities - situated slightly outside all the ‘fuzz’ yet close enough to attractions and cultural places as well as excellent restaurants a short drive away in Lucca.

Highly recommended
We stayed for one week, two families meeting there from the UK and the other from Germany. We have done this a number of times over the years, in love with Tuscany, and each time we have stayed in a different property. This house is one of the best we have stayed in, it’s in a beautiful location, extraordinary views across the valley, beautiful at night actually, the pool is perfect, gorgeous gardens, many bedrooms and many bathrooms, and even two kitchens. So for the latter, the reason for this is that the house really consists of two apartments, one on one floor and the other on the floor below, but you can treat it as a normal house; in fact, the young people in our group, all the children, took the lower part of the house to themselves, and the rest of us in the top half which worked well, we always ate together in the upper part on the terrace, the beautiful terrace, compliments to the gardeners! The house is 20 minutes to Barga, 40 minutes to Lucca et cetera, I would advise not going much further at the valley in terms of distance from things, but this position is good. The villager is very pretty and very very quiet, apart from the sound of families, there is no shop I think, there did seem to be a restaurant, it’s striking how this village looks as though it’s been hewn from the mountain, somehow humans and nature in harmony, something that seems to have been temporarily lost in the modern world.

Wonderful experience!
We had an incredible 10 day vacation in Borgo o Mozzana. The home was perfect for our group of nine people and there were plenty of rooms for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed using the house as a home base while we drove all throughout Italy. Roberto was an excellent property manager who ensured that we had everything we needed, including some extra fans on one night that was a bit warm. Our favorite night was the night we made dinner and ate up on the third-floor patio. One thing should be noted is that the house is approximately 3 km up a very steep road with some hairpin turns. Not for the feint of heart, but the views are definitely worth it and the home was lovely!
