In USA contact LINDA DI MEGLIO , She will be happy to assist you in organizing your vacation in Italy she knows the villa very well as she has been there several times.

Villa La Pergola has parts dating back to the 17th century and parts to the 18th century, when it was enlarged and refined with decorations.

It is situated on the level countryside in Lucca area, with a lovely large Italian garden full of flowers, fruit trees and old lemon pots. All the garden is surrounded by an old garden stone wall, keeping it nicely secluded from the outside world.

The name La Pergola comes from a pergola of table grapes running along the garden wall.

This elegant villa has been in the family " for ever ". In the old days it was part of a vast estate with the homes for the farmers behind it. All the complex was called " La Corte ", a typical lucchese country settlement still existing in some areas of Lucca country side.

The owner is a creative lady who, for many years, has maintained the traditional manufacturing of old Lucchesi silk fabrics for house decoration. For long time she has been involved in interior decoration; it is consequently understandable the way she recently fully restored the villa, equipping it with all the modern appliances, but yet maintaining the traditional charm and character of a typical period villa, with terracotta tiled floors and frescoed rooms.

Antique precious furniture and refined upholstery and decoration make the villa elegant and charming, a special stay for art lovers.

  • I was the luckiest person in the world having stayed at this villa for a month. This was a birthday gift from my husband and son, and we had family and friends galore! Having rented several Italian and French villas in the past, this was by far the most magical and wonderful vacation ever. The villa is exceptionally well maintained, with modern bathrooms, fully a/c; fantastic kitchen,6 gorgeous bedrooms, sitting rooms and charming furniture. The grounds and pool are perfect-there are fruit trees and a patio where we had cocktails followed by the most wonderful dinner prepared by the fantastic chef, Alberto. But most of all, the best part, is the delightful, charming, amazing villa owner, Luisa. She makes sure that every detail is perfect, and knows everything and everybody in all Italy. Luisa's talents for knowing all the right places, and what needs to be done to make people love this villa, city and people---knows no bounds. We would bike daily into Lucca, for shopping, eating or just gelato. Though a car is not totally necessary, it helps if one wants to visit the surrounding area which is truly gorgeous. Lucca is a real medieval working city, so it doesnt feel "touristy".You can visit the numerous ancient churches, yet also buy some of the best cheese in the world. During our vacation, we visited vineyards, a beautiful, sandy beach, Etruscan ruins, hill-towns; we also went to the Opera, had wine-tastes and fantastic Tuscan cooking classes at the villa--and more, all the while eating and drinking the most marvelous food. The food market is in biking distance (bikes at the villa) and the housekeeper, Mandi, is so unobtrusive he is amazing! We also used the services of Dorene Luchessi, of Divertimento, who helped arrange most of our events--and was fantastic!!(Luisa recommended her, and made our visit the success it was.) Our group is fairly demanding--and there was not one thing that Anyone would have changed. This is a place that is so special, I really feel privledged to have visited it-- and would tell everyone that they will feel the same.

  • We have just come back from a week at the lovely villa and are ready to return and go right back. We had such a relaxing and wonderful time. The villa is enchanting. It is spacious, not only in its overall size, but in the size of the individual rooms. Although it is beautifully decorated, it remains comfortable and welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the eclectic book collection, finding a copy of The Tibetan Book of the Dead on the shelf next to a diet book called Sugarbeaters! The dinners by Alberto were fantastic! We always started with hors d'oevres and then went in to the main meal. His artichokes are to die for and we asked him back twice. One of the reasons we did not ask him back more is that we had so much left over, that we got two meals for the price of one! He not only cooks it all, but cleans it up and leaves us to revel in the memory of his lovely culinary ability. The villa is very conveniently located. Although one of our members had visions of biking everywhere, biking is not for the faint of heart or the out of practice. The cars come awfully close! But walking is reasonable and the villa is within easy walking distance of the center of the walled city (it is less easy if you are tired and laden with packages!-then, get a taxi!) The City is fantastic. I would love to go back and spend another week exploring the narrow streets, churches, shops and to climb a few more towers. We also tried both the recommended gelato and pizza and both were great. It was a wonderfully relaxing vacation in a lvoely setting.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Dear Sandy and Blair it was a great pleasure to have you and all your friends at the Villa come back soon- thank you and ciao
