When it comes to wanting to wake up in an entirely different world, wanting to be utterly transported far from the concerns and stresses of daily life, we believe that properties like Villa Mami are exactly what you are looking for. This charming villa is located in an elevated position on the hillsides of the area around Lucca and Pistoia and boasts the most astounding panoramas over the typical and utterly magical landscape of Tuscany. Come for a stay and sit in the leafy gardens and breakfast on Italian coffee and delicious local pastries while listening to the wind in the cypress trees or sip incredible Tuscan wine while watching the sun set over those rolling green hills and the distant towns on your next vacation – it all sounds pretty dreamy to us!
Villa Mami, in fact, boasts such gorgeous outdoor spaces that you could not be blamed for wanting to spend a rather large percentage of your vacation in Tuscany simply out in the gardens, enjoying those magic views and generally just soaking up the relaxed atmosphere of the region. However, this remarkable villa itself has much more to offer guests.
Located on a scenic hill overlooking the Pistoia area, it is 7km from the town of Cantagrillo and 7km from Pistoia itself, both of which have all of the shops, restaurants, and other key amenities you could need. So, civilisation is not so far away but you are still very much in a perfectly remote spot where you can get far away from the stresses and concerns of your daily life and enjoy some well-deserved peace and quiet. Other charming towns and tourist destinations such as Montecatini Terme, Vinci, Lucca, Florence, Pisa, and the Tuscan Coast are all within day-trip distance of the villa, making it the perfect spot that can be a balance of a perfect escape but also well positioned for exploring the wider region of Tuscany.
Furthermore, you will quickly find that the villa is well-equipped with all you need and also boasts charming, pretty interiors with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, sleeping up to seven guests in total. Expect a cosy space with lots of gorgeous original features that are distinctly Tuscan – from the exposed beam ceilings, to the terracotta floors, the windows with delightful wooden shutters, a kitchen with a giant farmhouse-style sink, a mixture of antique and more modern furnishings, the interesting works of art throughout, an assured use and mixing of patterns and colours, and lots of tasteful touches that perfectly finish the space and make it into a true home away from home.
An open-plan living room/entrance hall welcomes guests upon arrival into the house with a space that is dotted with plush furnishings and soft lamp light as well as plenty of pretty little decorative items and works of art. The charmingly little-touched mid-century kitchen preserves period style while still being well-equipped with all you need including an oven with a stove top, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, toaster, microwave, espresso coffee maker alongside the pretty old cabinets and the selection of vintage copper pots. A dining room and a bathroom complete the ground floor.
Then, on the first floor, there are three very pretty double bedrooms (one of which can be converted into a room with twin beds upon request) and a sweet single bedroom as well as two more bathrooms (one of which houses the villa’s washing machine). You will be happy to note, as well, that all of the bedrooms feature air-conditioning for your convenience and comfort. WIFI is also available throughout the house and there is on-site parking at the property, which is enclosed for your privacy and security.
Heading back out to those lovely manicured and terraced gardens taking in panoramic views, it must be mentioned that, in addition to the rich variety of trees and plants, the lush lawns, and the private pool with its sun loungers and sweeping vistas, there is also: a built-in barbecue with a spot for al fresco dining right next to the villa under a pretty plant-draped pergola, another dining spot in a porch off the house, a pretty little iron bistro set on one of the lower terraces, and various spots to enjoy the pleasures of the outdoors.
A truly gorgeous villa with the most beautiful and lush grounds, the most astounding position and layout to take in magical views over Tuscany, pretty interiors with lots of personality and plenty of local flair, all of the mod-cons and comforts that you could need, and an ideal location for both lazy and peaceful days as well as adventurous excursions off to explore the endless wonders of the region, Villa Mami well and truly has it all! It also just happens to have excellent availability for the summer with all of June still free for a last-minute adventure in Tuscany in 2024, as well as plenty of option for dates in July and August – but don’t wait as it is sure to be snapped up fast with great interest in the villa currently.
