The Villas surrounding the Lucca area of Tuscany are among the most
treasured in all of Italy. Many of these villas have been retained within
their family of origin for generations. It's no wonder that this area of
Tuscany remains so beautiful, so evocative of that elegantly pastoral vision
we all associate with Italy. The majority of the villa rentals and
apartments that we represent are in the Lucca area. There is great diversity
in this part of Italy: the seashore, large areas of vineyards and
olive trees, small communities nestled within steep hillsides, the wonderful
walled city of Lucca itself. For visitors, there is always something to do
-- hiking, mountain biking, sailing, tennis, golf, a visit to the seashore,
even a trip to Florence (about an hour's drive
from Lucca). For many of our villa rental guests, however, it is the
villa which
represents their main experience; the opportunity to move in, unpack, relax,
and stay that way for as long as possible. To be able to enjoy family
and friends in a vacation setting is a great joy; going off for excursions
or day trips and then returning to a shared dinner full of stories and news
of the day is the kind of experience that lingers in the vacation memory
mode for a long time.
Our weekly villa rentals offer a rare opportunity to
partake of a special Italian experience. All of our villas and apartments
are private, secure, comfortable, fully equipped for day to day life. Our
properties vary in size, character and location from small "neighborhood"
homes and apartments in Lucca to large estates that can
accommodate up to 24
guests. We also offer many special services for our villa rental clients
which are listed at the bottom of this page, some of which are quite
unique.
