Charming Tuscan villa with fabulous views, pool and tennis court

This exceptional villa is a beautifully restored former barn that perfectly blends rustic Tuscan character with modern comfort. Thoughtfully converted with great care and attention to detail, the property retains all of its original architectural features, including warm terracotta floor tiles and striking chestnut wood beams that run throughout, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. The result is a stylish yet authentic home that celebrates its rural origins while offering all the amenities required for a luxurious and relaxed stay.

In 2018, significant renovations were undertaken to enhance comfort and accessibility, particularly on the ground floor. Bedrooms 1 and 2, along with their en suite bathroom facilities, were completely refurbished and adapted to be fully wheelchair accessible. These rooms feature wide French windows that open directly onto the garden and dining terrace, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living and easy access to the villa’s beautiful surroundings. This makes the property especially well suited for guests with reduced mobility, without compromising on style or comfort.

The ground floor of the villa is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger groups with ease. At its heart is a large, comfortable sitting room featuring an open fireplace, perfect for cooler evenings and relaxed social moments. The room is furnished for comfort and warmth and is complemented by WiFi throughout the property, ensuring guests can stay connected if they wish.

Adjacent to the sitting room is a welcoming dining room, ideal for shared meals, celebrations, and long evenings enjoying local food and wine. The well-equipped kitchen is designed to cater to large groups and serious cooking enthusiasts alike. It features an electric double oven, six gas burners, an extra-large dishwasher, and two full-size refrigerators, making it perfectly suited for extended stays, catered events, or special occasions such as weddings and retreats.

The ground floor sleeping accommodation is generous and versatile. There is a double or twin bedroom with an en suite shower room, a large double or twin bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and an additional double or twin bedroom with a private bathroom. Most of the bedrooms on this level have French windows opening directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the rooms and offering guests direct access to the outdoor spaces. A separate guest WC is also conveniently located on this floor.

The villa also includes a traditional cantina barn, which houses a washing machine, ample wood supplies for the fireplaces and pizza oven, and an additional fridge/freezer, providing excellent practical support for longer stays and large groups.

Upstairs, the first floor offers further spacious and flexible accommodation, ideal for families or mixed groups. The family suite is particularly impressive, comprising a large master double bedroom and a smaller twin bedroom, both served by an en suite bathroom. This suite also benefits from a private balcony, offering lovely views and a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets.

In addition, there is a double bedroom with its own en suite bathroom and a small private terrace, perfect for guests seeking a bit of extra privacy. A twin bedroom and a family dormitory share a bathroom, making this level especially well suited for families with children or groups traveling together.

Outdoor living is one of the villa’s greatest strengths. The grounds are beautifully maintained and offer a wide range of amenities designed for relaxation, entertainment, and recreation. Guests can enjoy a barbecue area, a fully functional traditional pizza oven, and multiple dining spaces for alfresco meals. The large saltwater swimming pool is a standout feature, providing a refreshing retreat during the warmer months and ample space for lounging and socializing.

For those seeking more active pursuits, the property boasts an all-weather tennis court as well as table tennis facilities, ensuring entertainment for guests of all ages. The expansive outdoor areas make the villa particularly well suited for hosting wedding receptions, celebrations, and group events, offering both charm and practicality in a truly memorable setting.

All bedrooms in the villa are equipped with electric fans to ensure comfort during the summer months. Importantly, all electricity, water, and end-of-stay cleaning are included in the quoted rental rates, offering transparency and peace of mind. In addition, guests benefit from three hours of mid-week maid service, further enhancing the comfort and ease of the stay.

The villa is conveniently located just 20 minutes (14.5 km) from the historic city of Lucca. To reach the property, follow signs from the Lucca walls toward Camaiore. After approximately 4 km, pass through the village of Monte San Quirico. Continue for another 3 km through the villages of Capella and Torre, then proceed to San Martino in Freddana. Just after the ENI garage, turn right toward Torcigliano di Pescaglia. After 1.5 km, turn right at the road chevrons, following signs to Cerrete and La Pianella. After approximately 200 meters, turn right up a steep, winding road for 1 km. The villa’s parking area is located on the left, marked by distinctive brick gateposts topped with eagle statues.

In addition to the main villa, there is a beautiful, nearby yet completely separate farmhouse on the same property that sleeps up to eight guests. This additional accommodation can be found under listing number 432340 and is an ideal solution for hosting extra friends or family, particularly for weddings, art workshops, yoga retreats, or cooking holidays. Together, the two properties offer exceptional flexibility while maintaining privacy, making this estate a perfect choice for memorable group experiences in the heart of Tuscany.
