Location
Located within the park of Villa Torrigiani an elegant farmhouse typical of the hills of Lucca, surrounded by a large garden bordered by multicoloured essences and with views hard to find for those who love the Renaissance period.

Within its exposed-stone casing, alternating with plastered areas and with the typical windows of the former barn covered by the mandolata (typical terracotta lattice wall), coexist materials of Tuscan tradition such as ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, pietra serena and terracotta floors, and furnished with high-quality pieces and handmade wooden furniture.

Exterior
The house is surrounded by a well-maintained lush park that extends over level terrain composed of a fully-equipped swimming pool, a synthetic grass tennis court and a small corner dedicated to five-a-side football. The park, mainly lawn, is an explosion of the colours of Mediterranean vegetation that blends with the surrounding countryside and is dotted with typical Tuscan trees such as cypresses, laurels, jasmine and bushes of herbs. The portico outside the French windows of the living area is organised as an outdoor dining and living area. N.B. Please note that photo shoots are usually carried out in spring, therefore the colours and blooms of the gardens, lawns and parks may be different when you enter the villa.
For guests seeking refreshment and relaxation, set in the park is the swimming pool, just a short distance from the house and facing a unique panorama. Rectangular and measuring 5 x 8 m with a depth of 1.40 m, the pool is lined in sand-coloured PVC with the edge in Impruneta terracotta and has internal lighting, salt purification and Roman steps for access to the water. The lawn sunbathing area is equipped with comfortable sunbeds and a pergola for shade. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
