At the top of a hill in the Pieve Santo Stefano area only 10 km from Lucca, the Villa Santa Maria holiday rental apartments offer breathtaking views of this particularly beautiful part of Tuscany.
The principal house on the estate is a renaissance villa
with chapel and is occupied by the owners, while the surrounding farmhouses
have been beautifully restored to provide four elegant and tastefully
furnished holiday apartments set in delightfully landscaped grounds.
All the apartments are completely independent with extremely well-equipped
kitchens, comfortable living rooms, and bedrooms with exposed beams and
mosquito nets at the windows. Each one also has a small private garden
area equipped for al fresco dining.
Il Cipresso sleeps 4 with two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Il Bosco sleeps 4 with two bedrooms, a bathroom and a stunning terrace.
La Valle sleeps 4+1 with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sofabed
in the living room.
La Guardia sleeps 8, with four bedroom and four bathrooms.
The large shared swimming pool is in a wonderful position with breathtaking panoramic views. Here there is also a small equipped kitchen, shower, changing rooms, WC and solarium.
For guests who can bear to tear themselves away there are various wineries to visit close by, and two excellent restaurants only a few minutes drive away. The estate has produce of its own, most notably olive oil. Although the road down the hill is winding and rather narrow at points, it is fully asphalted and the fascinating town of Lucca can be reached in only 15 minutes. From here there is access to Florence, Siena, Pisa and the seaside, while exploring the Lucca area itself with its many villas, wineries and natural treasures is not to be missed.
These holiday rental apartments are situated in one of the most attractive areas of the Lucca countryside, offering a peaceful retreat with the rest of Tuscany on your doorstep.
