About this property

Lovely detached villa with pool, beautiful gardens and fantastic views situated in the hills between Lucca and Pisa.
The property (220 sq.mts) has 5 large bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a spacious well-fitted kitchen, laundry room and elegant lounge leading to patio and gardens. Well furnished and very comfortable with every modern convenience. An ideal place to relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful surrounding countryside. Very conveniently situated, it offers an excellent base for day trips to most of the famous places of interest of Tuscany and it is only 30 mins away from the Versilian coast.

Villa La Magnolia: This lovely detached house is situated in the hills with views of
Lucca and is only 5 mins walk from local shops and bar.
Lucca is about 6 kms away and supermarkets about 4 kms.
The well kept gardens and patio are equipped with garden furniture and long table seating up to 16 people.

Lucca: The city of Lucca is entirely surrounded by medieval fortress walls and is almost completely closed to traffic. Passing through the ancient Roman gates one is transported back in time. It is possible to meander on foot or bike through the narrow paved streets and tall buildings which seem to lean out to touch one another in the sky. There are ancient palaces, museums and churches all rich in history and culture. There are many small, elegant shops, restaurants, bars, cinemas and the famous Teatro del Giglio where Giacomo Puccini and Giuseppe Verdi operas are played to a packed house.

Province of Lucca: The countryside of Lucca offers some of the most picturesque views in Italy; the antique summer villas and estates of the Lucchese nobility with their gardens, vineyards and olive groves, the ancient farmhouses and the medieval hilltop villages are unique. Travelling north one finds the spa town of Bagni di Lucca with it's thermal swimming pool and on the other side of the Serchio river is the town of Borgo a Mozzano with it's famous Devil's Bridge. The area to the north is know as Garfagnana and the panorama gradually changes from pine hills to a more mountainous terrain.

plenty of room for a family getaway

The size and location of this villa were both wonderful. We loved the views, all amenities worked well for us, and we had plenty of room to spread out for our family of 6. We all enjoyed opening the large wooden windows to let in the fresh September air and also appreciated the blinds to keep out the bright sun at times. The neighborhood was walkable and quiet, while still being close to Lucca and a large new grocery store. We enjoyed the pool, the pretty porches and grounds, and the large eat-in kitchen. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and friendly. We'd stay again, happily!

Great family holiday in lovely surroundings (1 week in April 2019)

3 generations of the family spent a relaxing week at the villa. The accommodation was all we hoped for, with bedrooms and bathrooms clean and spacious. We managed to squeeze everyone round the kitchen table for breakfast but it was far more comfortable the day we ate at the large table outside. The water in the pool was colder than we liked ,which was understandable for early April. We enjoyed a special meal on Thursday, cooked by a chef recommended by Fiona. It was a superb evening & we really recommend this experience. The pizza restaurant in the village is great for take away or sit in. We managed visits to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, nature reserves & the beach. The villa helped make it a great week.

Special Time at Villa Magnolia

There were 4 of us ladies using this lovely villa for 10 days. Very comfortable and wonderfully located. Bring your own spices. Just little things need to be addressed, i.e. replacement of the cutting boards. Angelo and Fiona were responsive to all of our needs. Angelo took us to town to pick up our rental car and came right over when we found that several light bulbs had to be replaced. We were fortunate to have superb weather for our entire stay, which enhanced the views from the villa.

Great pool and panoramic vews. Private, convenient location close to Lucca.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this villa. It has plenty of space for the kids to run around, great pool, and wonderful views over the valley from both the pool and the veranda. The villa is located in a quiet village 5 min outside Lucca (where there are plenty of grocery stores and restaurants). The whole place felt very private and we loved that. The owners had installed mosquito repellents in every room and we used spirals for the veranda so overall we didn't have a problem with that. There are a few minor things that need to be fixed, such as a door not closing properly, etc., but overall the house was exactly as we expected it. There were no pantry items available and we had to stock everything from scratch and obviously had to leave a lot of unused things behind. I would recommend this villa to anyone visiting the region. It's a great base to explore this paft of Toscana - we drove to Barga in Garfagnana, the beach in Viareggio, took the train to Florence, and had wonderful time in the hill top village of Montecatini Alto.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Catherine Obertelli

our family moved from London to Lucca in order to enjoy the benefits of the lovely area of Tuscany and the excellent position we are in enables us to go back and forth to London so easily. We enjoy country life whilst living within easy reach of major towns like Florence, Pisa and Siena. It' fantastic and now the children are grown up having studied a bit in England and a bit here and have the advantage of being bilingual.

Why they chose this property

The property is ideally situated in the hills between Lucca and Pisa, 30 mins from Pisa airport having the quiet and peace of the countryside, We live a a large comfortable house surrounded by fields and in a private road just 2 mins walk above the village where we can get everything we need. It is also near the motorway entrance if we wish to go travelling around the country

What makes this property unique

large pretty garden with lawns and flower beds with beautiful magnolia tree. fantastic views over the plain of Lucca with hills and mountains in the distance. very easy reach of the coast at versilia. large comfortable rooms. Supper - barbecue sitting round the very large table enjoying the cool evening breeze while enjoying the views with all the lights from the lain below. Fantastic.
