VILLA HUGO, Understated Luxury 5 Bedrooms Villa with Pool and a Welcoming Ambience

Set among acres of manicured gardens, the elegant VILLA HUGO transports you to a different era without sacrificing any modern luxury. Once a country residence Villa of the Trebiliani Family, the 13th-century villa has been fully restored into a 5-bedroom haven with hotel-worthy amenities. Particular consideration has been paid to the safety and the environment. An important photovoltaic system supports the villa's higher electricity consumption, and eco-sustainable fuels are used for heating in all rooms and for the use of hot water. Throughout the villa there are no pipes and no use of methane gas, this resulting in extreme safety. Nowadays the descendant of the family and his wife lives on one half of the building while guests can enjoy their privacy in their piece of history. Though it feels like its own world, the property is close to both Lucca, Florence, Pisa and the Versilia Coast.

Tucked among the manicured lawns and paths, you’ll find the Italian flowers orchard and organic fruit tree garden whose produce graces the dinner table. The grounds also include a salted-water pool with jetted jacuzzi corner and two wonderful pavilions that features amazing outdoor living areas. Have a drink at the luxury pool, whip up dinner on the grill and dine under the Tuscan sun and moon or under the pergola. Adults will appreciate a reliable Wi-Fi connection throughout as well as a loft grand living room featuring international channels.

VILLA HUGO’s interiors are classical and sumptuous, with cotto floors, original fireplace, plush upholstery, full drapes and plenty of chandeliers crowning the living spaces. A fully equipped kitchen is located on the ground floor with access to the outdoor veranda and its dining and living spaces. On the ground floor there is also an indoor dining room with tv and fireplace, so you can simply settle into the bright, airy Tuscan dining room to enjoy meals fresh from the garden and sample Italian wine. A bathroom completes the floor.

The villa’s five bedroom suites provide the same level of luxury and style; each has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and its own sitting area. Two of the bedrooms with two ensuite bathrooms are located on the first floor, three more bedrooms with en suite bathrooms along with a salon/living room are located on the second floor.

VILLA HUGO’s prime location balances elegance and privileged location as a convenient access to Lucca (less than a 10 mins drive away) and other regions of Tuscany, featuring exceptional restaurants, nightlife spots and many local experiences such as Wine Tastings and Cooking Lessons in addition to its famous sightseeing sites. For sport lovers there is a tennis court just 200 meters away, and the river park is just 1 km away, offering beautiful walks or biking tours. Nearby gems include PISA (25 mins drive away), the Beaches of VIAREGGIO and FORTE DEI MARMI (25 mins drive away), FLORENCE (45 mins drive away), CINQUE TERRE (1 hour drive away), PISTOIA (30 mins drive away), MONTECARLO and the wine country of Lucca (15/20 mins drive away), MONTECATINI TERME Spa (20 mins drive away), SAN GIMIGNANO (1 hour and 15 mins drive away), BARGA (45 mins drive away), GARFAGNANA (35 mins drive away) and SIENA (less than 2 hours drive away).

Due to its location in the center of important communication routes and the privileged position in the plain, on the outskirts of Lucca, the villa was also the object of attention by the American armed forces during the Second World War, making it its headquarters in the period from March 1944 to May 1945, when the Gothic line that ran between the two Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas was one of the most important war posts.
