Lucca Area Villa for Rent: Borgo Lago del Sole - Property 87882

About the Experience
This cluster of three villas near Lucca is perfect for a large family reunion or a business trip: the homey conference room and adjacent kitchen serve all your needs for large group meetings or meals. These Tuscany villas also share a pool (with an under-water view), a gym, and a Turkish bath, offering all the recreation and relaxation your party could ask for. And as for the surrounding area-- well, just look at the view. A few restaurants near these villa rentals in Tuscany offer dining convenience, and the gorgeous walled city of Lucca is just a short drive away.

Location
This villa complex is located in the hills surrounding Lucca, in a beautiful position. It is close to Pieve Santo Stefano, where there are two excellent restaurants. Lucca is worth enjoying simply for its medieval charm, but there are also a number of interesting sights to visit, as well as a great antique market held on the third Sunday of each month. The Duomo di San Martino and the Church of San Michele in Foro are both gorgeous examples of period architecture, while the Casa di Puccini, where the composer was born, has been transformed into a small museum in his honor. You can also climb the 130 foot Torre Guinigi, but on the other hand viewing the tree-topped tower from below might be just as enjoyable? and a lot less work! Also nearby is the town of Pisa, famed of course for its less-than-level tower, and along the coast to the north you'll run into Pietrasanta and the marble town of Carrara. Florence is also certainly within day trip distance, as there are frequent trains passing Lucca in that direction.
Florence: 85 km
Carrara: 60 km
