Villa San Martino has been recently restored by a team of local craftsmen with results that respect both Tuscan traditions and high standards of comfort. With over 3000 sq. ft of living space, it features five large bedrooms, six large modern bathrooms, generous living spaces and four fireplaces. It is filled with light and inviting open spaces and the ground floor opens to the outdoor terrace from four pairs of large wooden doors - originally stable doors. The gardens (40 acres) abound with lush greenery and flowers and harbor an inviting pool and shaded areas to relax, unwind... all the ingredients of a memorable vacation.
Renting a villa in this area, Lucca, is of course about the surrounding landscape, while vegetable gardens all around will be the main resource for tomatoes, basil, herbs and fresh fruit. This property in the countryside and it's famous for its great exteriors: this is a perfect sample of the countryside life in this particular area: everything is green, the exterior area is scented like flowers blossoming in spring and the entire experience it is quintessentially Italian. The pleasure of silence, the enchanting surroundings, the possibility to hire a cooking mamma to prepare a simple Insalata di Farro (split-bean salad) with some fresh tomatoes from the back garden, the proximity to a number of small villages with restaurants, bread shops, organic markets, artisans shops, hidden little churches and monuments, not to mention that from here one can enjoy the daily town life of the walled city of Lucca, the beach resort of Forte dei Marmi (half an hour) or spend a day in Florence (fifty minutes away): this is all part of the best package and experience a villa traveler would want.
