Description
Formerly a gatehouse to a Tuscan country estate - this charming villa offers spacious, bright interiors furnished to a good standard. Ideally situated within walking distance of a village and only 10 Km from the centre of Lucca. The owner can arrange for bicycle hire so you can cycle along the Serchio river in to the heart of the walled city. Large garden and fenced pool. From the north-facing windows, the views span over miles of forested countryside, whilst from those facing south the views look across olive groves to the Pizzorne Mountains or down the valley where the Serchio River curls towards the sea. Ideal for those who want a comfortable base to explore Northern Tuscany at any time of year. Short stays available
