Front Entry |
| A true Renaissance villa with its own
chapel, formal gardens, olive oil press and castle ruins, Villa Controni
was completely restored in 2005. The villa was built as the summer
home of an important Lucca family who cultivated rare flowers on the
estate. It has now been transformed into a luxurious retreat where
one can experience a very compelling Italian lifestyle in a private
setting. |

billiards room, kitchen and service areas as well as two bathrooms.
The study is equipped with satellite TV, internet connection and a music

accommodate 22 guests in a formal setting. The billiards room,

the dining room. |
