Villa de Ranieri In Lucca, Tuscany

Property for exclusive use
Splendid historic villa of 700 m2, capable of accommodating 10 people in 4 double bedrooms, 1 bedroom with 2 beds and 5 bathrooms. The villa has a large garden, a beautiful swimming pool for exclusive use, a loggia equipped for outdoor dining, wi-fi internet connection, satellite TV, and parking.

Outdoors and swimming pool
Once through the electric gate, you reach the entrance square with a large space serving as a parking lot for several cars. The facade of the villa faces a hill, towards which leads a path lined with rose gardens, elegant cypresses and other trees. Large manicured and well-tended green lawns extend on the sides of the tree-lined path (the green area is larger than 10,000 m2). Within the lawn there is a beautiful and ancient stone basin, containing water for the garden maintainance.
Further on, at the foot of the hill, there is the salt-purified swimming pool, in a setting of total peace and privacy. The swimming pool which measures 12x6 with a depth of 1.25 to 1.50 metres, is surrounded by deckchairs and umbrellas, a changing cabin and a shower with a solar hot water system. In the direction of the valley, another spacious garden extends in front of a different facade of the villa. From this side of the house, on the ground floor, guests can access the kitchen, which allows to easily setup drinks and meals outdoors on beautiful sunny days and cool summer evenings, by use of a large outdoor area equipped with wooden table, chairs and umbrella.
Terracotta vases with flowers and plants adorn the entire area surrounding the villa. Finally, there are two other buildings in the vast property: the first belongs to a relative who very rarely goes there (he does not use either the garden or the swimming pool, which are at the exclusive use of the guests) and the second, closer to the villa, is used as a storage room for lemons and as a wine cellar.Interior
