Villa Pinoni

This is a stunning 8 bedroom Tuscan villa situated on the hills just a few kilometres outside Lucca and enjoying wonderful views over the Apuane Alps. Set upon a hillside divided into various terraces, the villa exterior is just as beautiful as the interior, with plenty of space to relax and a private pool and gardens to enjoy.

Inside, the style is a fusion of modern and antique, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the quality of antique artworks and paintings. All the rooms are spacious with high ceilings and original wooden beams. The floors have original red terracotta tiles throughout.

On the ground floor is a sitting area with fireplace. This leads out to a large loggia with both sitting and dining areas. In fact, an arbor covered with climbing plants runs all the way around the house, guaranteeing shade throughout the day. Also on the ground floor is a well equipped kitchen which has a glass door leading to the garden as well as a laundry room and WC. The kitchen is modern and functional with stainless steel appliances. It is equipped with everything a keen chef should need. A dining room on this floor has a table seating 8

There is a second sitting area on the first floor, again equipped with a fireplace. There are also 5 bedrooms on this floor. The first is a double bedroom. This has an ensuite bathroom with bath tub. There are then two bedrooms each with two single beds. Both have ensuite bathrooms but one has a shower and the other a bath tub. There is then another double bedroom which boasts a private terrace and a final bedroom with two single beds. These bedrooms share a bathroom with shower.

Another flight of stairs leads to the second floor. This is home to a large master bedroom. This is beautifully furnished in neutral tones, all aimed at helping guests to enjoy a good nights sleep. It boasts a large bathroom with both shower and jacuzzi bath. There is also a studio area with double sofa bed and fireplace. All the bedroom windows are fitted with mosquito screens and the property enjoys air conditioning throughout.

Also on the ground level is an independent apartment. This is not connected to the rest of the house but is equipped to accommodate those with disabilities. Here you will find two further bedrooms. One is furnished with a double bed and the other has two single beds. There is also a bathroom with shower. This is suitable for wheelchair users. Please note that there is a very low step to access this apartment. Please ask for more details to check its suitability for your needs.

The hill on which the villa stands is divided into a number of different terraced areas. The villa is positioned on the first of these. The villa has been built in a typical Tuscan style. The second terrace is then home to the swimming pool which looks across the vast valley below. The pool measures 14m x 7m (depth of 1 - 2.5 metres) and is surrounded by loungers. This is open from May to September. There is a gazebo providing shade as well as a changing room fully equipped with bathroom, shower, fridge (ideal for keeping those drinks cool!) and even two beds for those looking for a siesta out of the sun.

For those that enjoy al fresco dining, there are two main areas outside where guests can enjoy a meal together or enjoy each other's company over an evening aperitif. There is both a BBQ and pizza oven for guests to enjoy. On request, we can offer a breakfast, lunch and dinner service for an additional charge letting you relax completely.

From one of the outside lounge areas, a set of external stairs go up to a green painted garden room, a welcoming and intimate refuge where you can relax, have a good coffee, practice yoga or even enjoy a spot of painting. Further on from this room, you will then arrive at a delightful panoramic terrace, under the shade of trees, where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular view of the valley reading a book and enjoying a glass of good wine.
