Casolare

Villa Casolare, a colorful 18th century cozy Tuscan holiday home with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, swimming pool and a 150-acre private land, only a few minutes walk to a local Trattoria and few minutes drive from Lucca itself. The villa is part of an aristocratic estate with private park, located at the foot of Lucca hills, a unique setting between Lucca and Pisa - half an hour away.

Comfortable, fresh furniture, terra-cotta floors, beamed-white ceilings, spacious bedrooms and modern bathrooms creating a light, airy holiday home, this one is a top property featuring both privacy and proximity to every must-see in the north of Tuscany. The exterior and interiors of this farmhouse have been restored in 2012 again and it's kept to date with yearly improvements.

The cottage is ideally suited for a large family or group of friends, with its expansive gardens for hot summer afternoons or after a day of exploring this area of Tuscany: it is surrounded by beautiful hills where high quality wines such as Buonamico or Terre del Sillabo are produced, medieval villages and hamlets, not to mention its immediate proximity to Lucca, Pisa, Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. It's also recommended to foodies, because there's not such an area in this part of Italy with a larger offer of nice restaurants and great wineries.
