Tuscany is a place that can feel inherently magical – with its legendary rolling green hills bathed in golden light at sunset or draped in fog in the early morning, the cities and towns that seem frozen in time, the gardens dotted with statues that feel as though they might come to life, and so much more – but if you are looking for your next destination then we put forward Lucca for your consideration. This ancient walled city is one of those that can seem as though it has remained utterly untouched by time but it is also a place filled with unique curiosities and impossibly beautiful wonders. Book one of our incredible villas in Lucca and then come explore this dreamy little wonder of a city...

Those with dreams of a Bridgerton-style escape in the most sumptuous and stately historic surroundings will find many incredible preserved villas and palaces to book among our villas in Tuscany. Among them, the recently listed Splendida is just as splendid as the name suggests. A stunning 17th century wonder located in the village of Vorno, close to the famous medieval city of Lucca. With 6 bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, sleeping up to 12 guests in total, this gem offers a little slice of bucolic and historic wonder to escape to on your next vacation in Tuscany.

There are some villas that just immediately capture the imagination and conjure times past. Villa Tambellini de Fondra is one such example – a historic gem of a villa in Tuscany, with pretty Italian-style gardens, a charming little chapel, a private pool, and lush green surroundings. Better still, you get all this while being on the outskirts of the lovely medieval town of Lucca. So, you have the best of both worlds – the convenience of being in a town with the pleasures of being in the stunning Tuscan countryside. You also get a taste of history and luxury at a reasonable price point. So, if you’ve been dreaming of a magical getaway in Tuscany steeped in charm and tradition and lots of style, then this romantic base is the perfect option!

Ringed by olive trees and cypresses and other greenery, the house boasts a gorgeous garden full of blooms, a private pool, elegant areas to relax al fresco, and comfortable interiors full of character and style.
