About this villa rental

The Contented Tuscan is a very ancient stone villa on two levels brimming with character and restored with total respect for its rustic simplicity. All rooms are furnished to excellent standards, in an elegant country style with old terracotta floors and original chestnut beamed ceilings. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a beautiful fireplace, log burning stove and dining/sitting room. This two-bedroom villa sleeps up to four people. The bedrooms each with queen sized beds and both have en-suite bathrooms. Both bedrooms are prepared with a double bed, but one bedroom can also be set up with two separate beds upon request prior to your arrival.
The gardens and plunge pool are for the exclusive use of the guests, in a private, enclosed terrace we a have a pergola providing a shady space to eat. What better place to relax with a glass of beer or wine and take in the stunning views after your day of sightseeing!

The villa is located in Guzzano a mountain village 4km above the pretty spa town of Bagni di Lucca. Many of the famous Tuscan landmarks are within striking distance. Previous guests have enjoyed day trips to Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Cinque Terra, Viareggio, Siena and San Gimignano.

The property is located in a mountainous region of Tuscany. Our guests can park directly outside the villa or in an area some 50 meters from the house and should not pose any issues. The owners live below the rental space and will be on call should you need any assistance.

The surrounding area is perfect if you are a keen walker or mountain biker. You can enjoy bird watching, fishing, painting and photography, as well as skiing and snowboarding. We are the first village above the town, walking down will take around 30-40 minutes and you can always hop on the local bus to return to the village.

Bagni di Lucca has a number of super restaurants, serving hearty Tuscan fare. You can also enjoy a post supper flutter at the recently re-opened casino.

You'll find a public swimming pool, tennis courts and thermal baths, along with banks; supermarkets and on Wednesday and Saturday mornings there is a traditional Tuscan market.

Nestled on a hillside overlooking a small village sits a real Tuscan treat. Apart from the narrow winding road, this house is in a perfect location. Everything has been thoughtfully prepared, including a welcome basket of food and wine. The gardens and pool are fabulous. The only downfall is the bed, which is a little uncomfortable. But because everything else is so perfect you can overlook this imperfection.

If you wish to experience Tuscan living out in the countryside this is your Villa! The accommodations are perfect for 2 couples! Steve and Denise are gracious hosts and have decorated this home with incredible artwork and collectibles. We enjoyed every evening sipping wine poolside with spectacular views. It was wonderful for us to leave the busy touristy cities and escape to this secluded gem! The road here is narrow and twisty yet worth the drive! We would definitely love to return!

My wife and I enjoyed three nights at The Contented Tuscan - we wish we had booked at least a week at this gorgeous estate! Steve provided exemplary pre-arrival coordination via WhatsApp. He allowed us to mail a box of 'US goodies' (5-hr Energy, protein bars, other things apt not to find in Italy quite like that in the U.S.) to him prior to our arrival - very hospitable! Denise walked us through the house upon arrival, ensuring we knew where everything was and to use the stove, oven, etc. We were provided a complimentary bottle of wine and water. The beds were comfortable. The showers were excellent. While too cool for us to use the pool, we sat on the porch for sunset with a glass of wine - beautiful mountain views! Steve and Denise were immediately available if we needed anything - very responsive! We cooked meals all three nights at the villa - everything you need is in the kitchen! This is a luxury villa at extraordinarily reasonable prices. The 4km road from Bagni di Lucca caused a little anxiety around the narrow blind switchbacks, but we acclimated quickly. If we return to Italy, this is our first stop and for at least a full week!

Four of us had a wonderful stay in this absolutely lovely property. It is an easy reach for Florence, Pisa and Lucca, with Lucca being a must see! The swimming pool was refreshing after warm April days and we felt spoilt with the view. We had wonderful restaurants to visit down the mountain in Bagni du Lucca, with taxis organised by our hosts, who were absolutely sensational. They truly made our time in their house spectacular. The house had a functional kitchen and eating space with a great garden eating space too. Absolutely lovely

We were warmly welcomed by our landlords. The property was just as described, gorgeous. So that we didn't have to go shopping the same evening, there were great delicacies ready for us. The landlords Steve and Denise live with the house, but they take care of everything but have remained invisible, which we have never experienced before. Everything was very clean and well-kept. There was no air conditioning in the house, but there were fans, which was completely sufficient. There were no mosquitos in the house, as there were mosquito screens everywhere, outside it is advisable to spray against the mosquitoes. All in all, it was a great vacation.
