LE PERGOLE

Description:
Tuscany is one of the biggest regions of Italy, more or less triangularly shaped, with in the North-West the Apennines, till the sea in the South. A large part of this region is hilly, even mountainous, and the plains form but a small part of the total, mainly at the coast. Wherever you want to go; beauty and enjoyment is everywhere: Florence and other famous art cities such as Pisa, Lucca, Siena and Arezzo, but also the smaller cities like Volterra, San Gimignano, Pienza and Montepulciano. And even the smallest villages; they all can proudly boast at least one art-treasure, and the history of all of them can fill a library.

This private and comfortable property is set in a quiet position on the hills North-West of Lucca. The location is particularly convenient, combining the tranquility of a beautiful countryside surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, with the proximity of the town of Lucca, with all main facilities. The grounds belong to an extensive estate producing a renowned local red and white wine, honey and extra virgin olive oil.

The property has been restored with particular attention to details, to enhance the original taste of a typical Tuscan country house, granting at same time all modern comforts such as air conditioning, ceiling fans, satellite TV, Internet and a very well equipped kitchen. The attractive interiors testify the Tuscan tradition through beamed ceilings and cotto floors, and the welcoming furniture inspires overall a feeling of sober elegance and warm décor.

The accommodation is split in two units, each opening on to the large and fenced garden, with a lovely pergola ideal for outdoor meals. The dependence also benefits of a beautiful built-in barbecue which will liven up your summer evenings.
