PRIVATE VILLA RENTAL
FULLY AIR CONDITIONED, WITH POOL.
SLEEPS 10, CLOSE TO LUCCA, TUSCANY.

Near Lucca, in the special valley of Vorno, is a small paradise called Casale Sodini. The ancient casale, originally used partially as a mill for the family and the few inhabitats of the village, and in part as a farmhouse, has been beautifully restored.

It has no architectural pretences, is of simple lines, and the materials used in construction are those of the time: stones, hand-made bricks, timber beamed ceilings, terracotta floors. As was customary, the ground floor was used to house animals and the farm workers slept upstairs.

The spirit of this place, near a small village just outside Lucca, lies in its absolute simplicity and today, even if the mill wheel no longer turns, the timeless ancient atmosphere and flavours are present. Quiet, silence and serenity is the philosophy of life offered here, as Casale Sodini is brought back to life for your enjoyment. Here in the warm golden afternoons you can breathe these simple values of the past.

Today the rooms of the old mill have become intimate and luxurious living rooms, full of warmth and welcome: the old stable on the ground floor is now the dining room where you can admire the vaulted ceilng, the stonework and other traditional workmanship.
