Property Description

This traditional farmhouse is part of an old hamlet, originally occupied by farmers and now completely restored. It is situated in a beautiful position in the hills north of Lucca, south-facing and renowned for its magnificent views. The house we have for rent here is the most beautiful in the hamlet, being detached, and therefore totally independent from the other houses. It has been faithfully restored, respecting the ancient character of the original farmhouse, but at the same time adding to the quality and comfort with new furnishings and equipment. An example of this successful combination of old and new is the very well-equipped kitchen, which opens to a spacious furnished terrace, with a built-in barbecue. It is ideal for “al fresco” dining, while enkoying breathtaking views over the hills and the town of Lucca. Within the garden, in a superb position there is a beautiful, panoramic swimming pool with outdoor shower. No pets are allowed at the property.

10 Of The Vacation Rentals With The Most Stunning Interiors In Tuscany

There are certain things that are of vital importance when one is looking for a vacation rental; price, location, views, amenities. For some, however, the key feature in deciding on a rental property is the decor. If you're going to inhabit a space for a period of time and have a dream holiday, it should be a dreamy location too, right? Well, luckily, we have plenty of holiday rentals in Tuscany that will greatly please design aficionados that prioritise interiors. Here are just a selection of the best of the best among them.

1. Casa Farfalla (Available from €965 per night)

This amazing four bedroom villa and two bedroom annex property, located in the hills 6km from Lucca, with views over the surrounding landscape and the city itself, is one of our most beautiful, both inside and out.

The Lucca Summer Festival is one of Italy's most famous music festivals and, this year, celebrates twenty years since its inception. As a result, the line-up is rather extraordinary. With events taking place from June to September, there are plenty of chances to experience this Tuscan music institution once you have found a luxury villa in Lucca.

Tuscany really is impossibly beautiful. There is just so much to see and do and so much of it is made up of some of the most beautiful galleries, buildings, works of art and views in the world. Of course, there really are endless lists of excellent things to see and do so, in order to help you out, here are more of this author's picks of the most photogenic sights in Tuscany that you'll want to visit and then capture forever.

7. The Uffizi

The Uffizi is one of the leading art galleries in the world and for good reason. It is a must-see for the countless masterpieces that are housed inside of it but it is also quite the photogenic beauty in its own right. There is almost too much to see, which can lead to a bit of sensory overload. When I took a moment to just wander and not try and see everything for a second, I found myself strolling around behind my parents and I got this photograph.

Try Lucca's Local Tipple, China Massagli!

China Massagli (pronounced KEE-nah Mah-SAH-lee) is a unique Tuscan liquor that was first created in the nineteenth century by a one doctor Massagli, who was the owner of a pharmacy in Piazza San Michele in Lucca. Originally sold as a medicinal beverage during the Malaria epidemic of the 19th century in the city, it is now a local tipple that is a must-try for any foodie that has found a vacation rental in Lucca and is exploring the gastronomy of the city.

One of the main ingredients of the drink, from which it partially gets its name, is China Ginebona Officinalis. Also known as Jesuit's bark, the plant contains quinine, an ingredient used to fight fever and malaria, which is still sold in pharmacies to this day.

Come and explore the beautiful Central plains of Tuscany and stop off at some of these historic spots along the way. Stay in a pretty villa rental in Lucca for a few days where you can easily commute around these nearby locations.

Begin your journey of historical discovery with a visit to the fortified town of Nozzano Castello located in the Serchio valley. Close to Lucca city, this quaint little town has been beautifully restored and offers magnificent views of the surrounding countryside.

From here tourists can see the castle of Castiglione and the striking Torre dell’ Aquila.

Nothing beats a good view, right? When you're on holidays, in particular, waking up to a beautiful reminder that you are far from home and regular routines and responsibilities is the perfect way to start every day with energy and excitement and to ensure a good time. We happen to have an incredible selection of vacation rentals in Italy with great views so why not check out our favourites here?
