There is a vegetable garden and plenty of space to enjoy a book beneath the shade of a tree.
Beyond the olive trees, along a cypress-lined path, one reaches the high end of the garden, featuring a sweeping panorama across the Lucca valley, a 56 by 23 feet swimming pool, sunning area and Balinese massage pavilion.
Next to the pool is a covered Bali-style Summer Kitchen, where to relax sipping a glass of red wine while admiring the spectacular views, or where to enjoy a lunch in the open air served at the sandstone dining table.
