Located near Lucca and surrounded by greenery, this carefully restored and elegant property is ideally situated to explore the region’s cultural highlights and spectacular natural wonders. With a tranquil atmosphere, this exclusive countryside retreat is the perfect location for unforgettable day trips to the most beautiful towns in Tuscany and provides a unique opportunity to admire its splendid landscapes while soaking up the region’s incredibly rich historical and cultural heritage.

The property is just a stone’s throw from Lucca, known as “the city of 100 churches.” Hidden behind impressive Renaissance walls, its cobbled streets, delightful squares, and shady promenades make it a perfect destination to explore on foot. At the end of the day, open-air cafés and historic restaurants tempt visitors to relax over a glass of Lucchese wine and a slow progression of dishes prepared with fresh produce from nearby Garfagnana.

In just thirty minutes by car, you can easily reach Pisa, exceptionally well known for its Leaning Tower. Moving between its alleys and riversides, you will discover architectural jewels such as Santa Maria della Spina, the headquarters of the Scuola Normale Superiore in Piazza dei Cavalieri, the exhibitions at Palazzo Blu, and the magnetic charm of Piazza dei Miracoli. Start from the Baptistery and head to the 130-metre Camposanto Monumentale overlooking the square.

The villa is only a few kilometres from Viareggio, the most important city in Versilia. Established as a port of Lucca, this popular sun-and-sand resort is renowned for its flamboyant Carnevale, second only to Venice’s carnival, and for its dishevelled line-up of art-nouveau façades along its seafront, which recall the town’s 1920s and ’30s heyday. Stroll along the charming streets of the city centre, enjoy a gelato on the Passeggiata, and gaze out to sea on the Darsena.

Famous for being the preferred holiday destination of many international celebrities, Forte dei Marmi is just a stone’s throw away from the villa and is ideal for those who love high-standard services and vibrant nightlife. With its beautiful beaches, exclusive designer boutiques, and lively atmosphere, Forte dei Marmi attracts tourists from all over the world every year. Before leaving the town, do not forget to take a stroll along the pier, historically used for loading marble extracted from the quarries onto boats.

In less than an hour by car, you can reach Livorno, a quintessential port town with a colourful history and cosmopolitan heritage. Declared a free port in the 17th century, Livorno attracted traders from across the globe, resulting in a city famed throughout Europe for its multiculturalism. Today, its seafood is the best on the Tyrrhenian coast, its historic quarter threaded with Venetian-style canals is full of character, and its elegant belle époque buildings offer evocative reminders of a prosperous past.
