Tuscan Villa
Classic villa updated with modern conveniences and plenty of room to spread our or cook together. With 90 degree heat wave, the beautiful pool and covered seating area were a welcome respite after our days of touring. Alexandra was a pleasure to work with--she resolved our initial air-con problem and gave us great advice about where to shop, dine and visit a beach club in the area.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra

Host profile image
My family and I have lived in Lucca for the past 10 years having transferred from London. An avid art and history lover, I feel enriched and extremely lucky to live in Italy. I teach English and am involved in tourism here. Our 2 daughters have benefited growing up in the welcoming and warm social atmosphere of Lucca, being accostomed to being made the centre of attention as all children are in Italy and eating well at every meal! As young teenagers, the subtle changes to Lucca that have evolved in the past few years mean that they have a great social life, there is an air of modernity in the city,; fashion, music and events are an important part of this chic little place. We continue to run our restaurant in London and this affords us a foot in both countries. Italy is where our heart is though and I never cease to feel uplifted by the beauty of the area as I run around the walls of Lucca or the hills of Meati.

Why they chose this property

The villa is in an area of outstanding beauty, it offers tranquility and relaxation yet it is very near the walled city so popping into town for a stroll around or to indulge in a 'gelato' is very easy. The property is stunning and well equipped, it offers great accomodation for a reasonable price. In 5 minutes you can reach the autostrada from the house meaning quick access and no traffic when going to the beaches of Versillia or to the airport in Pisa. It is very well positioned for further trips if you would like to visist Florence or Sienna or otherr nearby areas.

What makes this property unique

Stunning countryside. Wonderful large swimming pool with extensive covered decking area.
Sympathetic restoration has ensured the property has retained lots of original features and original materials have been used such as slate, and marble to stay in keeping with the serene beauty of the house. The modern touches of the Dada kitchen, power showers throughout, villeroy and boch baths and the large wardrobe spaces mean the house has a luxurious yet practical feel.
The gardens are very beautiful and ample. The vinyard produces great San Giovanni wine.
