About this villa rental

Welcome to Villa Borbone, a place where simple moments become your everlasting memories.

Idyllically serene with spellbinding views towards the old town of Lucca, the hills and the coast on the background, this is your safe retreat, your own oasis of calm at this portion of renovated Renaissance Villa dating back to 1400s by the village of Pieve Santo Stefano. Hop in for a quick lap and then fix yourself a snack in the summer kitchen in the shaded pool house. Then, wander through fragrant gardens and olive groves before heading out to dinner at the local bespoke restaurant Vipore for a traditional Tuscan dinner, just 2 kilometres away.

Situated on 1 hectare of private, expertly manicured lawns, Villa Borbone is split between the Main House, Pool House, and The Suite House. Stone walkways and lush lawns connect each separate building, adding an extra touch of privacy to the estate. Inside, stretch out on the sofa by the wood-burning fireplace, get creative in the chef’s kitchen, and pamper yourself among history.

Villa Borbone comes with a private parking and 2 kitchens in addition to 3 secluded outdoor living areas. Stir up a few cocktails and gather in the outdoor lounge, enjoying the countryside scenery as the sun sets.



Lucca is an incredible place to eat and drink, so work up an appetite by hiking through Tenuta di Forci, the natural reserve where the villa sets among. Most trails lead to scenic lookouts over vineyards and the sea in the distance with the Tuscan Island Archipelago, so make sure to bring a camera.



Despite the neighbours live in the adjacent part, privacy is granted as they have their own entrance on the opposite side of the villa and no access to the pool area.

Be aware that no events or parties are allowed at this property.

The villa is very pretty and so spacious. It fit our group of 14 with no problem. The pool is great for a relaxing day or to cool off after being out. The main house has two separate upstairs areas of 3 bedrooms each, which worked great for our group of 3 families along with the two detached buildings and the cellar bedroom. Our host was very responsive and so helpful with everything. We had a chef come to prepare dinner on our arrival night, and she and her husband were spectacular. The dinner was amazing, and she even brought prepared foods for us on a second night because it was challenging for our whole group to get to dinner. There are two large outdoor tables that were so nice for dinner. To note: It is very important to have a car rental as recommended, which we did not because we thought taxiing would be easier. As it turns out, the driveway to the villa is quite precarious as other reviewers have stated and we had a hard time finding a taxi who would go all the way up to the house, or even accept the ride. We ended up meeting them at the bottom of the driveway and having them drop us off there also. And even then it was 70-80 Euro for one car each way. The driveway is .4 miles long and all uphill. A best car would be something either small (there are hairpin turns) or rugged. Having the freedom to explore town without the hassle of the taxis would have been better for us, but that is our own fault because that was the recommendation. A written history of the house would be great to include in the home. One can only imagine what those walls have seen with the age of the house!

The villa was big enough for 4 different families, it was located with a nice view over the mountains and hills, air conditioning functioned well in all rooms, the pool was nice, depsite the bad weather, the facilities to make your own meals were good, and the two chefs who made the anniversary dinner were excellent too! A short drive and you could reach the old town Lucca and all the castles and vineyards nearby.

We stayed at this villa for family birthday party.The villa is lovely but you do need a car and very small roads but once you’re there it’s beautiful.I must say our villa manager ( Elena ) was amazing and was so helpful.There are a few things that need upgrading like washing machine and one of the dishwashers wasn’t working plus wifi wasn’t great but the rest was so good you could overlook this.Overall I would recommend this villa.Thank you villa Borbone for making our family holiday very memorable.

We fell in love with Villa Borbone from the first time we saw it in pictures, and when the nice and professional Elena showed it to us live, we couldn't stop being delighted. This is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful accommodations in Italy, and even in the world. The atmosphere of the old villa, the decor of the rooms, the location in the olive grove, the relaxing pool - everything is absolutely charming and unforgettable. We wish ourselves to return for a family vacation in Villa Borbone!

I booked Villa Borbone for a trip with my friends to celebrate my fortieth birthday. It could not have been more beautiful. We absolutely loved it. The house and the view are even better than they seem in the pictures. It is spectacular and peaceful, and the perfect place to relax with friends and the perfect base from which to explore Lucca (it was our first time - it's an incredible town) and other nearby towns (we did a day in Cinque Terre and a day in Florence too). Chiara was friendly and communicated well and was helpful. Just warning to drivers - it is quite a daunting driveway up to the villa. Very narrow and steep and winding. But you get used to it, and it is totally worth it once you're up there.

The villa is in amazing location with great views and a lot of charm. The villa is very charming, but the maintenance isn't of the highest standard (e.g. the showers were a bit flooded, and one of our guests got stuck in the bathroom and wasn't able to unlock). The hosts were very nice and responsive, and the house is isolated in a good way. The drive up to the villa could be a bit scary, but it helps with isolation. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend it!
