DESCRIPTION
Not far from the medieval city of Lucca, there is a small village where you can find a wonderful Villa, all surrounded by a wall. Built in the 17th century, Villa dei Poeti is the perfect place to spend a holiday of relaxation and quietness. This Villa, available for rental, can be the ideal location from where you can visit many Tuscan cities in the surroundings, such as Florence, Pisa, Carrara, Pistoia, Siena, the areas of Versilia, Garfagnana, Chianti, and the Apennine Mountains, all great for one-day trips. Other less known places, but still filled with historical and artistic elements, are Fiesole, Montecatini Terme, San Miniato, Vicopisano, San Gimignano and Volterra, where you can find the typical Tuscan atmosphere. If more famous cities are full of art, particularly of the Renaissance period, small medieval cities and villages, often situated on the top of the hills, have to be discovered by the visitors, who will be surprised by every spot. And the Tuscan landscape with the vineyards and the olive groves will be impressive for those who are interested in the beauty of nature. Furthermore, we cannot forget that this territory is dedicated to the production of many wines, famous all over the world. Food and wines, with all the local products of this region, are one of the most important attractions that will turn your holiday in Tuscany into a real experience of the rural and discreet charm of this area.
Located in the northwest of Tuscany, Villa dei Poeti is composed by a main floor, raised from the country floor, with a central salon and a symmetrical displaying of the other rooms around it. This sober but elegant architecture was built according to the style typical of the constructions in Lucca.
The wide garden is full of many typical trees, such as cypresses, oaks, olives and lime-trees. Next to them there are magnolias, roses and bushes of aromatic plants, that will conquer our guests with their colors and perfumes, and make them feel at home. In the garden, beside a Romanic style swimming-pool, the pergola of bougainvilleas gives a romantic touch to the park. The pergola is also the perfect place for outside dinners, or the ideal point, to spend time in complete tranquillity, or to have conversations.
