The living room features two comfortable sofas and an armchair, along with an original Tuscan fireplace. There is a smart TV, Wi-Fi, books and games for guest entertainment.

Upstairs, accessible from the second floor hallway, there is a balcony with breathtaking views across the valley, a perfect place to enjoy sunrise and sunset.

GARDEN & OUTDOOR LIVING

There is a newly added Argentinian style bbq and wood fired pizza oven.

THE POOL

The 15 metre private swimming pool is one of the villa’s strongest features. Ideal for both swimming and play, it is surrounded by sunbeds, umbrellas and a spacious pool deck with shower. The pool is open from May to October.

Villa Pineta offers space, privacy and tranquillity while remaining close to towns, transport links and cultural attractions.

LOCATION

Villa Pineta is located just uphill from Ghivizzano on the winding road towards Lucignana. The village is attractive and historic, with castle walls and a clock tower visible from the main road from Lucca.

There are supermarkets, pharmacies, home stores and many restaurants nearby, making the villa practical for longer stays.

The villa is approximately 40 minutes north of Lucca by car or train. Lucca is famed for its fully intact Renaissance walls, the second longest walled structure in Europe. The city is largely pedestrianised within the walls and is known for its restaurants, shopping and cultural events. It is also the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini, with concerts and museums dedicated to him throughout the year.

NEARBY TOWNS & ATTRACTIONS

Barga is close by and well worth visiting for its medieval streets and excellent restaurants.

Bagni di Lucca is just 15 minutes away and is famous for its natural thermal baths. The baths were used by the Romans and later restored by Elisa Baciocchi, sister of Napoleon, in 1811. They remain open today and offer relaxing spa experiences. The area also offers rafting and other outdoor activities for adventure seekers.
