A luxury villa near Lucca – Casa Camilla

A small city with a rich history settled in dazzling Tuscan countryside. What city are we talking about? Lucca of course. Traces of Roman, Medieval, Renaissance and the nineteenth century can all be found in Lucca’s urban fabric, much of which has remained surprisingly well self-preserved.

Casa Camilla

Narrow medieval streets wind and twist, presenting a hidden surprise round almost every corner. Dazzling white marble Romanesque churches contrast starkly to the many orangey/red buildings of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Unlike in many cities where greenery is almost entirely void, lush foliage is visible all over Lucca, a reminder of the intense greenery that surrounds this Tuscan city. Yes, it’s safe to say that Lucca is more than worthy of a visit.

So we’ve managed to sell Lucca to you as your next European travel destination, now you’ve got to find somewhere to stay. Let us recommend Casa Camilla, just seven kilometres from Lucca and all its treasures.

This luxury villa near Lucca, a five bedroom country home has four bathrooms and can accommodate up to ten guests. From its elevated position in the rolling hills, Casa Camilla enjoys views that have a little of everything. Immediately you’ll catch sight of the property’s large private pool tucked inside the house’s extensive grounds scattered with rose, herbs and olive trees. Beyond the idyllic and fertile garden, feast your eyes upon an excess of sloping hillsides, dense forests, bell towers and church domes, the dominate features of the nearby city of Lucca.

This imposing country home has been renovated to an extremely high standard retaining a character that is in-keeping with the architectural splendour of Lucca and this part of Tuscany. One feature that particularly stands out is a Diocletian-style viewing window in the lounge. Other eye-catching features include chunky dark wooden beams, traditional Tuscan tiles, tasteful rugs, usual wall art and other soft furnishings typical of Tuscany.

Despite the tasteful traditionalism of Casa Camilla the house contains all the latest mod-cons that will help make your stay here as comfortable as possible. For example, Wi-Fi will enable you to take pictures of the immense beauty of this country home and its surroundings, post them on the social media channels and make friends and family green with envy back home!
