For more than 150 years, Villa Iolanda has been the manor house for the summer of the family of the current owners of the Piano di Casciana farm. In fact, it was the custom of noble families to move in the warm months from city palaces to country estates, equally sumptuous, also in order to control agricultural work.
Rich in history and tradition, it shows the typical structure of Tuscan villas: in the cellar below there are still vats, barrels and containers where the oil was stored.
Over time, efforts have been made to preserve the typicality of the structure as much as possible, maintaining and restoring the original furnishings.
The colors of the Tuscan countryside complete the scenario, starting with the ancient handmade Tuscan terracotta floors.
During their stay our guests live completely immersed in a magical atmosphere where time passes slowly, between serene walks on the estate and visits to places of art; the daily stress of the city will be only a memory.
Despite the ancient atmosphere, everything that will make the guests' stay comfortable has been added, making available all the amenities typical of our modernity.
The garden is private and fenced, there are statues and tables in sandstone originating from the time of construction; there is also a large table with chairs for outdoor lunches or dinners in the tranquility of the Lucca countryside.
To the north of the villa, private parking is available.
Private swimming pool. inaugurated June 2018.
