VILLA VIOLA - Residenze Seicento - An historic Villa with Garden close to Lucca with Air Conditioning
Stunning outdoor living spaces and indulging interiors make VILLA VIOLA an ideal choice for a holiday any time of year in the rolling hills of Tuscany, just a 5 mins drive away from the city centre of Lucca. Spend a stay relaxing in the gardens exploring the photogenic Colline Lucchesi region, and sampling local wines, cheeses and more from nearby shops. The property was recently restored with care and consideration, and today this historic home boasts sophisticated décor and four bedrooms with space for eight friends and family members.
The villa is set amid expansive gardens planted with rosemary, wildflowers and even vegetables. Let the scent of the herbs and Tuscan sun wash over you as you lounge by the outdoor patio or under the pergola, and as evening falls, serve aperitifs at one of the al-fresco dining areas as the barbecue heats up. After a day of sightseeing, stretch out in the woods inside the property or simply share your favourite snaps via Wi-Fi.
A recent restoration brought out the authentic character of this luxury vacation rental while giving it a modern . Cotto floors, beamed ceilings, shuttered windows and stone fireplaces give a warm, traditional look to the two sitting rooms, kitchen and formal dining room. Contemporary details such as lounge chairs, WIFI connection and even a dock station are unexpected yet playful. The fully equipped eat-in kitchen is both stylish and practical, with custom cabinets, a breakfast table and state-of-the-art appliances.
LAYOUT
ground floor : Large sitting room opening to the garden with fireplace, 1 bathroom (shower) , kitchen opening to the garden , laundry room.
First floor: sitting room, 4 double bedrooms, 1 bathroom (bath).
Once the inspiration for countless Renaissance artists and now dotted with charming villages and castles, the Lucca region is well worth exploring. Sip the famed local wine in Montecarlo or leave your car at the close-by train station and take the train into central Florence. You can even drive to Pisa in 15 minutes or to the Beach in 25 minutes, or even to Cinque Terre in less than 1 hour. There are plenty of dining choices close to Villa Viola, from rustic trattorias to romantic restaurants, and if you need a special treat, the Bagni di Pisa spa is only a 10-minute drive away.

Rustic, charming & authentic villa set in beautiful grounds
We loved the authenticity & decor of the villa. Just rustic enough but with modern touches. The villa was set on beautiful grounds with picturesque scenery. Monica, the property manager, was an excellent communicator & went over and above to assist us doing our stay.
Many of the power points didn’t work & most windows downstairs were missing fly screens. It would also be useful to know before booking that the bell tower up the road , chimes every 30 minutes/24 hours per day. This took a bit of getting used to & kept us all awake at night during the first few days of our stay. Charming during the day, but annoying at night

Villa Viola June 2024
The villa is set in a peaceful location, beautiful grounds, with everything we needed to enjoy the villa to its best. The beds are super comfy, we all had great nights sleep. Monica was in touch pre arrival and kept in touch during our stay to make sure we had the best time we could.
Lucca is a 7 minute drive away with great parking to explore the city. La Cecca restaurant is within easy walking distance, with an excellent choice of local foods. Walking back when it is dark you are escorted by the fireflies twinkling like fairy lights.
From the terrace you over look the mountains that surround Lucca, stunning views which included watching birds of prey flying above and the call and glimpses of a Hoopoe.
Highly recommend the property.
The terrace is east facing which I can imagine in the height of summer is perfect, however, it would be nice to have another terrace that catches the evening sun.
Bannisters on the stairs would help for people that have reduced mobility.
Overall a great experience. The management company is very responsive. It’s a tranquil environment. The town of Lucca is a short cab ride away with fantastic restaurants and shopping. We will be back for sure.

Wonderful villa
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this lovely villa. Renata was so helpful and accommodating. It was the perfect place to stay, close to the town of Lucca, but yet away in the countryside.
If we come back, we would definitely enjoy staying there again.

Amazing
Thank you so much for your positive rating for your recent visit to Villa Viola!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Easy check in and check out process and the location was great. It was quiet and relaxing. Nice restaurants nearby. Plenty of information provided if you're looking for activities nearby. The furniture in the living room could use a little refreshing/cleaning otherwise it was the perfect Italian vacation! We felt like locals. :-)

We will be back soon!
We had wonderful 3 weeks at Villa Viola. The house and the garden felt like a second home from the very minute and the setting on the terasse was just beautiful. There were some minor improvement we addressed which were taken on immediately.

a very peaceful place
The villa was a very peaceful place. The views were stunning and the surrounding area with the nature walks were a must. The house itself was a very comfortable place to be. Within driving distance was a supermarket and other amenities , within walking distance are restaurants to eat. Pisa lucca and Florence are all accessible by car.
We were a family of six that enjoyed this wonderful place and would recommend it to anyone wishing to visit Tuscany

thank you so much for the privilege
Words cannot describe how much we enjoyed our stay at this luxurious villa in the country side. We were so torn between wanting to explore the Tuscany area and just relaxing with a glass of wine and the incredible view on the verandah. The villa had everything we could wish for - felt like we were back home. Staying in a Tuscany villa has been a life long dream of mine and we could not have chosen a better place to make this dream come true. I was really sad to leave this amazing place.

This place is truely magnificent!
If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! This place is truely magnificent! The property has so much to offer and you feel at home the moment you walk in the door! The interior is beautiful with so much attention to detail. Everything works as it should and the whole place is so well maintained and spotlessly clean. The garden is beautifully inviting to sit out and enjoy the tuscan sunshine! And last but not least, Sidrak and his family are so kind, welcoming and extremely accomodating & flexible. I fully recommend staying here.. you will not regret it!

Grand Villa in a picturesque setting
Brilliant service received from Monica. What a beautiful big Villa with a big kitchen with everything you need for your holiday.
The bedrooms are modern and spacious. Beautiful grounds with plenty outside seating for entertaining. Overall a wonderful stay in a grand old Villa. Loved the cat, who always ran over to us to welcome us home. Thank you for a very memorable stay
Chimney blocked so smoke comes into the room
Serving spoons in kitchen
Dish drying rack
Table cloth
Get a cat box so the cat doesn’t wee in the flower pots

Liked: Location
Fine but came up short
Kitchen should have been cleaned more thoroughly before we arrived. Mattresses in the two main bedrooms were old and sank in the middle. Upstairs bathroom oddly lacked towel hooks. I spite of all that the place still had charm.
The property was in a nice location, only a few minutes drive to Lucca, the train station and the walled city. Lots of space for our family of 4. A really nice villa. Great grounds and a nice view of the mountains. Two issues we had. When we got to the house (mid Nov. outside temp of less than 55 degrees F) the heat in the house had not been turned on in advance of our check-in. Made for a cold first day and night as the house is large and took a while for the house to warm-up. Second, the listing states "clothes dryer". We expected there to be an electric clothes dryer. There was not. There are drying racks to hang wet clothes on. Overall a very nice stay and would recommend staying there.

Wunderschöne toskanische Villa
Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet, toller Stil! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das offene Kamin ist großartig! Die Schlafzimmer sind alle unterschiedlich, aber jedes für sich wunderschön. Die Lage ist auch super. Der Garten ist riesig und schön. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen
