Splendid 16th-century "Luccan" villa that has been skillfully restored keeping all the characteristics typical of the manor villas of its time. Yet, at the same time, the villa has undergone all the changes necessary to make it a luxurious and comfortable villa for refined guests who want to enjoy the charm of a historic villa without giving up the comforts that they are used to. Set on top of a hill, between Lucca and the Versilia coast, this property also boasts a wonderful view of the hills and the surrounding countryside full of olive-tree groves, small vineyards and extensive woods.
