Villa notturno

Leaving Lucca towards the south, the road winds through an idyllic region of hills, enveloped in dense forests and dotted with olive groves. This small mountain range, already evoked by Dante in the Divine Comedy, forms a natural border between Lucca and Pisa. It is in this picturesque environment, punctuated by old villages, Romanesque churches, castles and historic palaces, and only 10 km from Lucca, that this villa is located, perched on a hilltop, offering breathtaking views and an unrivaled living environment. An old farmhouse dating back to the 17th century, it has been passed down from generation to generation within the same family, who undertook in the 1980s to restore it with love and attention to detail, transforming it into a residence that is both sumptuous and welcoming. Surrounded by a vast expanse of woodland, the villa offers a relaxing view of the diversity of the green of the forest composed of pines, chestnuts, acacias and olive trees from its windows and garden. Isolated from any human activity, the only noise present is that of the rich surrounding fauna, a total immersion in nature. Inside, the residence is furnished with carefully selected Tuscan antiques, combining modern comfort with rustic charm. The ground floor is distinguished by exposed beams and terracotta floors, while the thick exterior walls keep the cool during the summer months. To enhance the living room, an old 17th century wood-fired oven allows the baking of bread or pizzas, surrounded by various facilities dedicated to rest and relaxation. A breakfast area with a table and umbrella offers an ideal setting to start the day. The property also features a beautiful swimming pool, complete with changing room, as well as a shaded area for relaxing and dining outdoors. A large terrace protected by vines accommodates three outdoor dining tables, an outdoor shower, a toilet, a large barbecue and a fully equipped kitchen. A wooded path leads to a small waterfall, which promises coolness on summer days. Despite this tranquility, the villa remains close to Lucca, the art cities of Tuscany and the Versilia coast, offering the perfect balance between natural retreat and accessibility.
