About this villa rental

This exceptional villa is a beautifully restored former barn that perfectly blends rustic Tuscan character with modern comfort. Thoughtfully converted with great care and attention to detail, the property retains all of its original architectural features, including warm terracotta floor tiles and striking chestnut wood beams that run throughout, creating an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. The result is a stylish yet authentic home that celebrates its rural origins while offering all the amenities required for a luxurious and relaxed stay.

In 2018, significant renovations were undertaken to enhance comfort and accessibility, particularly on the ground floor. Bedrooms 1 and 2, along with their en suite bathroom facilities, were completely refurbished and adapted to be fully wheelchair accessible. These rooms feature wide French windows that open directly onto the garden and dining terrace, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living and easy access to the villa’s beautiful surroundings. This makes the property especially well suited for guests with reduced mobility, without compromising on style or comfort.

The ground floor of the villa is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, designed to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger groups with ease. At its heart is a large, comfortable sitting room featuring an open fireplace, perfect for cooler evenings and relaxed social moments. The room is furnished for comfort and warmth and is complemented by WiFi throughout the property, ensuring guests can stay connected if they wish.

Adjacent to the sitting room is a welcoming dining room, ideal for shared meals, celebrations, and long evenings enjoying local food and wine. The well-equipped kitchen is designed to cater to large groups and serious cooking enthusiasts alike. It features an electric double oven, six gas burners, an extra-large dishwasher, and two full-size refrigerators, making it perfectly suited for extended stays, catered events, or special occasions such as weddings and retreats.

The ground floor sleeping accommodation is generous and versatile. There is a double or twin bedroom with an en suite shower room, a large double or twin bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and an additional double or twin bedroom with a private bathroom. Most of the bedrooms on this level have French windows opening directly onto the garden, allowing natural light to flood the rooms and offering guests direct access to the outdoor spaces. A separate guest WC is also conveniently located on this floor.

The villa also includes a traditional cantina barn, which houses a washing machine, ample wood supplies for the fireplaces and pizza oven, and an additional fridge/freezer, providing excellent practical support for longer stays and large groups.

Upstairs, the first floor offers further spacious and flexible accommodation, ideal for families or mixed groups. The family suite is particularly impressive, comprising a large master double bedroom and a smaller twin bedroom, both served by an en suite bathroom. This suite also benefits from a private balcony, offering lovely views and a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets.

In addition, there is a double bedroom with its own en suite bathroom and a small private terrace, perfect for guests seeking a bit of extra privacy. A twin bedroom and a family dormitory share a bathroom, making this level especially well suited for families with children or groups traveling together.

Outdoor living is one of the villa’s greatest strengths. The grounds are beautifully maintained and offer a wide range of amenities designed for relaxation, entertainment, and recreation. Guests can enjoy a barbecue area, a fully functional traditional pizza oven, and multiple dining spaces for alfresco meals. The large saltwater swimming pool is a standout feature, providing a refreshing retreat during the warmer months and ample space for lounging and socializing.

For those seeking more active pursuits, the property boasts an all-weather tennis court as well as table tennis facilities, ensuring entertainment for guests of all ages. The expansive outdoor areas make the villa particularly well suited for hosting wedding receptions, celebrations, and group events, offering both charm and practicality in a truly memorable setting.

All bedrooms in the villa are equipped with electric fans to ensure comfort during the summer months. Importantly, all electricity, water, and end-of-stay cleaning are included in the quoted rental rates, offering transparency and peace of mind. In addition, guests benefit from three hours of mid-week maid service, further enhancing the comfort and ease of the stay.

The villa is conveniently located just 20 minutes (14.5 km) from the historic city of Lucca. To reach the property, follow signs from the Lucca walls toward Camaiore. After approximately 4 km, pass through the village of Monte San Quirico. Continue for another 3 km through the villages of Capella and Torre, then proceed to San Martino in Freddana. Just after the ENI garage, turn right toward Torcigliano di Pescaglia. After 1.5 km, turn right at the road chevrons, following signs to Cerrete and La Pianella. After approximately 200 meters, turn right up a steep, winding road for 1 km. The villa’s parking area is located on the left, marked by distinctive brick gateposts topped with eagle statues.

In addition to the main villa, there is a beautiful, nearby yet completely separate farmhouse on the same property that sleeps up to eight guests. This additional accommodation can be found under listing number 432340 and is an ideal solution for hosting extra friends or family, particularly for weddings, art workshops, yoga retreats, or cooking holidays. Together, the two properties offer exceptional flexibility while maintaining privacy, making this estate a perfect choice for memorable group experiences in the heart of Tuscany.

Hard to summarize how our week at La Pianella exceeded expectations, from the beauty of the home and how well it for our large family, the meals enjoyed on both terraces, the fun in the pool and tennis court, and maybe best of all the Pizza party with Donatella and a meal she prepared for us later in the week. We were even greeted by the property owner and given some history on the estate and the life that has been documented in a work of fiction by former UK political figures. The steep road up to the estate is no joke, and we had two large 8 passenger vans. So confident drivers or arranged transport is a big help. But it is well worth the adventure and once you are there, you'll find little reason to leave.

We had a wonderful stay. Property is great. Donatella is the highlight of the property. From the day we checked in she was so welcoming and helpful. She hosted a pizza night and dinner and both were amazing.

We had an amazing stay in this beautiful house surrounded by trees and vegetation. The surroundings are very calm. Everything works fine and if there's a problem, Donatella is always available for you, with the smile. By the way, she did an excellent diner for us. The pool and the tennis court are just perfect to enjoy the Italian sun. My friends and I really recommend this beautiful house and many thanks to Donatella and Clare for the hospitality. Richard S.

Great tennis court!
10.0 / 10.0
We had a fantastic time in La Pianella Villa. We were 14 people in total (2 kids) and there was plenty of room for us. We enjoyed the fantastic pool, table tennis, tennis court and beautiful surroundings. The house is gorgeous and the whole place is very quiet. It was a challenge for one of our family's to drive up the steep road with a caravan car but when they arrived it was plenty of space to park it. The weather was great and it was good that all rooms had fans since it was quite warm. The large bedroom with 4 beds upstairs, over the kitchen, would need an air conditioning though. I really recommend this beautiful house and many thanks to Donatella and Clare for your hospitality. Katarina from Stockholm

We enjoyed our stay at La Pianella very much. The owners were very responsive to all questions/concerns. Donatella's cooking is wonderful and lived up to other exceedingly positive reviews. While the pool is gorgeous, I think it's important to note that it's at the top of a hill with quite a few steps. Not a problem for us, but something to consider for less mobile guests. The location is roughly 20 mins from Lucca which is perfect. There's also a decent market and a few restaurants in the village less than 10 mins away. Thank you Mary Ann and Clare for your sharing your beautiful property.

We were part of a large group who had rented both the Villa and the adjacent farmhouse. The location is absolutely gorgeous, with amazing views out over the valley. Both houses were incredibly well looked after, very well equipped, bedrooms were made up beautifully and both houses were very clean, neat and tidy. Donatella, who looks after the houses for the owner, was incredibly helpful and attentive, an absolute delight to be dealing with. We didn't need it during our stay, but you can even arrange for her to come up and cook! I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!
