Authentic vacation home in the picturesque Pieve di Monti di Villa
Our holiday home is located in the charming Pieve di Monti di Villa, a medieval hamlet at an altitude of about 450 meters. This idyllic village is part of the municipality of Bagni di Lucca and is one of the many authentic mountain villages in the area.
The house has an area of approximately 150 m² and is spread over several floors. It is part of a historic "palazzo" and is built against a mountain. As a result, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Apennines from the rear – from the windows, the terrace, the garden and the swimming pool. Thanks to its location at altitude, it cools down wonderfully in the evening.
Layout of the house
The house and outdoor areas are spread over four levels:
- First floor: kitchen, bathroom, dining room, living room and two bedrooms.
- Ground floor (accessible via the street): an extra bedroom and bathroom, as well as a door to the terrace/balcony.
- Basement: accessible by an internal staircase, with an exit to an external staircase leading to the garden.
- Garden & swimming pool: various seating areas, sunbeds, a lounge set and a hammock for ultimate relaxation.
The house is equipped with all modern conveniences, including good wifi. Outside there are several places where you can enjoy the serene tranquility, the beautiful view, a delicious meal, the sun and the pool.
Location & surroundings
The area offers plenty of opportunities for culture, sports and culinary excursions:
- The atmospheric fortified city of Lucca, with its imposing city walls, is only a 35-minute drive away.
- The cultural heart of Tuscany, Florence, as well as the beaches of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, can be reached in about an hour.
- A 2-minute walk from our house you will find a rifugio, where you can enjoy lunch or dinner in the summer months.
- In 8 minutes you can drive to Bagni di Lucca or Fornoli, where you will find several restaurants, bars and supermarkets .
Active enjoyment in nature
From the house you can take beautiful walks or explore the Orrido di Botri nature reserve in a 20-minute drive, an impressive gorge with crystal clear water. Sports enthusiasts can explore the area on a road bike or mountain bike. Those who like to swim in nature can go to the Lima River, where you can cool off in the clear, cold water. There is also an adventure park nearby where you can do canyoning in and above the river.
Important to know
Given the layout with multiple stairs and levels, our house is less suitable for people with walking difficulties and families with young children (4 years or younger).
We look forward to welcoming you to our piece of Tuscany! 🌿
