Best infinity pool villa in Tuscany?
You can forget about singers and celebrities having the WOW factor, 2014 is all about travel accommodation having the WOW ingredient and if there is one house that definitely falls into this privileged category, it’s Tuscany’s La Limonaia.
With so many magnificent features and traits to mention about this fabulous infinity pool villa in Tuscany, it’s difficult to know where to start. So let’s begin at perhaps its number one asset, its location. Perched within an olive grove on a south-facing hillside overlooking an emerald vista that seems to sprawl out for eternity, it’s safe to describe the views from La Limonaia as breath-taking.
In fact so privileged is this view that only three other houses have the honour of sharing it. Despite being such a idyllic rural retreat, convenient amenities are close at hand. The small village of Aquilea is just a short walk away where a quality bar and restaurant await you. But perhaps the house’s biggest asset is that it is just 12 kilometres from the fascinating stone city of Lucca.
In spite of such a wealth of archaeological, cultural, historical and gastronomical marvels being on your doorstep, dragging yourself away from this awe-inspiring villa would be a feat in itself.
This five bedroom, five bathroom villa sleeps ten guests all of whom can enjoy their own privacy by La Limonaia’s three cleverly interconnected living areas.
With a unique and well thought-out design, this remarkable villa offers optimal privacy and spaciousness. The high ceilings are adorned with chunky beams and velux windows letting in greater floods of daylight. The beams marry the stone walls and tiled floor impeccably, the naturalism of the décor augmented further by wrought-iron railings. Antique furnishings and original artwork compliment the grandness of La Limonaia’s décor.
The open-plan living room and kitchen are a sight for sore eyes, the WOW factor thickening as you discover more of this magnificent villa. This huge living space leads to the mezzanine level where two more double beds provide yet more ample space for guests to spread out in.
Outside, La Limonaia’s tiered grounds provide the perfect platform to lie back under the cloudless sky and take in the vistas. The villa’s infinity pool is a real focal point of the exterior, which is punctiliously positioned to make most of the glorious view that stretches out as far as the eye can see. Best infinity pool villa in Tuscany? Quite possibly!
