Property 135 – LUCCA
12 Bedrooms
Location and Surrounding Area
Nestled in the countryside of Capannori, in the province of Lucca, Property 135 enjoys an enviable position amidst rolling hills, olive groves, and centuries old vineyards. This corner of Tuscany offers the perfect balance between privacy and convenience, with medieval villages, wine estates, and scenic walking trails right on the doorstep. The city of Lucca, with its Renaissance walls and vibrant cultural life, is just a short drive away, while the villa’s location also allows easy access to the art cities of Florence and Pisa.
Just a short drive from the villa, the medieval city of Lucca offers a wealth of history and timeless charm. Known for its perfectly preserved Renaissance walls, Lucca invites visitors to stroll or cycle along its scenic ramparts, explore its winding cobbled streets, and relax in its elegant piazzas. The city’s Romanesque churches and lively local markets create a unique and inviting atmosphere, while its music festivals and seasonal events make it a fascinating destination all year round.
A little further afield, guests can discover the artistic treasures of Florence and Pisa, both easily reachable for day trips. Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, enchants with its world-famous museums, historic palaces, and the breathtaking Duomo, while Pisa captivates with the iconic Leaning Tower and the monumental Piazza dei Miracoli. For those who prefer the coast, the sandy beaches and lively seaside resorts of Versilia, including Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, are within comfortable driving distance.
Closer to the villa, the wine roads and hilltop villages of northern Tuscany offer endless opportunities for exploration. Visitors can enjoy wine and olive oil tastings at local estates, walk or cycle through the picturesque countryside, or visit charming towns such as Montecarlo di Lucca, famous for its vineyards, or Collodi, the birthplace of Pinocchio, with its enchanting historic gardens. This exceptional location allows guests to experience the very best of Tuscany, from culture and gastronomy to nature and relaxation.
Property 135 is 20 km from Pisa Galileo Galilei Airport, 74 km from Florence Peretola Airport, and 156 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport. This exclusive villa is just 7 km from Lucca, 12 km from Capannori, 16 km from Pisa, 22 km from Montecarlo di Lucca, 24 km from Collodi, 30 km from Versilia, 33 km from Viareggio, 35 km from Montecatini Terme, 48 km from Pistoia, and 85 km from Florence.
The Property
Nestled in the gently rolling hills outside the ancient walled city of Lucca, Property 135 is an exclusive Tuscan retreat of timeless charm and historic elegance. Combining the warmth of traditional Tuscan architecture with refined interiors and modern comforts, the property offers an extraordinary setting for peaceful escapes in the heart of the countryside. Once the country residence of Count Cosimo Bernardini, this beautifully restored hamlet now welcomes up to 24 guests in 12 en-suite bedrooms.
Surrounded by centuries-old trees, manicured Italian gardens and a patchwork of olive groves, the estate's exteriors are nothing short of enchanting. Picturesque courtyards, ornamental ponds, and antique fountains provide a serene atmosphere, while lemon-scented pathways lead to elegant gazebos and shaded sitting areas. The floodlit swimming pool (18 x 8 x 1.80 m) is ideal for sun-drenched afternoons, and the outdoor dining area, complete with barbecue, invites guests to enjoy unforgettable al fresco meals.
Inside, Property 135 is both majestic and inviting. A grand Tuscan kitchen and a spacious banquet hall set the stage for convivial meals, while several comfortable lounges offer space to relax in style. Guests can unwind in the domed music room with its log fireplace, sample local vintages in the wine library, or enjoy a quiet game in the card and billiard room. A well-equipped fitness room, centralised music system, satellite TV with DVD player, and 30MB Wi-Fi ensure comfort and entertainment throughout your stay.
Each of the twelve bedrooms at Property 135 has been individually designed, blending the rustic elegance of Tuscan tradition with thoughtful, refined touches to ensure every guest enjoys absolute comfort and a sense of timeless charm. Terracotta floors, exposed wooden beams, and warm, earthy colour palettes create a welcoming and serene atmosphere, while modern amenities such as air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, personal safes, and quality linens are featured in every room.
Among the most indulgent is Mercurio, a romantic double bedroom (170 x 190 cm) with a Jacuzzi bathtub and separate shower. Venere, Bacco and Apollo also offer double beds of the same size and en-suite bathrooms with Jacuzzi bath-shower combinations. Magnolia, Trifoglio, Ninfea and Diana all feature twin beds (90 x 190 cm) that can be converted into doubles, with Diana offering the added comfort of a king-size bed when joined (180 x 190 cm), along with a Jacuzzi bathtub-shower combination.
The remaining bedrooms are just as charming. Melograno is a cosy room with a French bed (140 x 190 cm) and a bathroom with a bathtub-shower combination. Cipresso, Camelia and Giglio each offer a double bed (170 x 190 cm) and en-suite bathrooms with classic bathtub-shower combinations. Steeped in history and once home to olive presses, a bakery and a chapel, Property 135 retains the soul of a noble Tuscan estate, lovingly preserved and transformed into a place of beauty, tranquillity and joy.
