Le 5 Perle di LuccaItaly, Tuscany

Le 5 Perle di Lucca is an elegant 19th-century aristocratic villa set in the heart of a vast estate of terraced hills and olive groves. The villa has its own private chapel and ancient olive press and boasts sweeping views across the estate and down the valley towards the medieval hilltop town of Lucca. Formal Italian gardens lay to the front of the villa, and to the rear, a pretty walled garden with manicured lawns provides a peaceful setting for the delightful swimming pool and sun lounge. An arched loggia to the rear provides a shady retreat for relaxing or outdoor dining, overlooking the camellia garden.

All rooms within the villa are elegantly furnished. All bedrooms are ensuite and decorated with hand-painted details on the walls and ceilings. There are also magnificent views over the surrounding countryside and down to Lucca from all the bedroom windows. With three living rooms, a formal dining room and a study area, the villa offers larger groups plenty of opportunities to relax in each other’s company or enjoy moments of privacy.
