Villa Controni, nestled below Monte Pisano on the southern outskirts of Lucca, is an historic 19th Century Lucchese villa set on a stunning estate of terraced olive groves, elegant Italian gardens and forests of pine running along hilltops dotted with castle ruins. Panoramic views reach out across Lucca and Nottolini’s aqueduct and a pretty walled garden provides a peaceful and relaxing setting for the swimming pool and summerhouse with workout room.
In keeping with the villa’s gentle and enchanting atmosphere, the unique interiors are elegantly furnished with style and charm and offer 11 frescoed bedrooms all with en-suite facilities, for up to 22 guests. With three living rooms, a study area, a billiard room, a grand banquet room and the shady retreat of an arched loggia, the villa offers larger groups plenty of opportunity to relax in each other’s company or enjoy moments of escape and privacy.
With all of the amenities of a five star hotel including concierge, daily housekeeper and personal chef, the property also boasts proximity to golf courses and tennis facilities, as well as proximity to Tuscan cities and towns and the coast at Viareggio minutes away.
