Our opinion
Authentic luxury Tuscan Villa with swimming pool and panoramic view, perched on the green hills of Lucca.
Equipped with many comforts (air conditioning, satellite TV, pool house, hydromassage tub...) it is the ideal accommodation for entertaining a large group of guests - or a family reunion - who want to spend an unforgettable holiday in the heart of the Lucca countryside, short distance from the seaside resorts (Versilia is only 35 km away).
