About this property
Very private villa, pool, 12 km to Lucca, walk to restaurant, amazing views
Friends of Tuscany Ltd." manage all aspects of your villa booking with tailored information to get the most from your holiday. We can help to arrange a shopping delivery service, home made meal on arrival, wine tours, children’s activities, wild swimming spots, festivals, events, and restaurant recommendations based on our personal knowledge of the area built up over 30 years.
Casa dell’Acqua is a beautifully restored country villa set in a large olive grove, with fantastic views across the plain to Lucca and north towards the Apuane Mountains. Recently renovated, the house combines traditional Tuscan charm with modern comfort, creating a cool, relaxed atmosphere throughout.
Layout and Features
Downstairs you’ll find a large, bright living room with a dining area and stone open fireplace, a kitchen with dining table, two bathrooms, and a utility room. Original features such as chestnut beams, terracotta ceilings, and tiled floors give the house character and warmth.
There are four bedrooms, sleeping 7 adults & 1 baby:
- 2 large double bedrooms with comfortable beds
- 1 twin bedroom (2 single beds)
- 1 smaller bedroom with a small double bed (120 x 195 cm)
Outdoor Space
The villa is surrounded by olive trees and a colourful garden, with several terraces for relaxing or dining outdoors. On one of the terraces there’s an 8m x 4m above-ground pool, perfect for cooling off or play.
Location
The villa is named after an ancient well in the garden and sits on the scenic ridge of La Brancoleria, known for its small villages, vineyards, and olive groves. The area is famous for high-quality olive oil and wine.
A well-regarded restaurant is just 200m from the house, open on Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch, please note that the restaurant is open by reservation only. Other good restaurants and historic villages are close by, and several interesting churches can be reached on foot.
The art city of Lucca is just 12 km away, and the dramatic scenery of the Garfagnana and Media Valley is also nearby.
