Just a short drive from the villa, the medieval city of Lucca offers a wealth of history and timeless charm.

L’Olivo is a beautifully restored 16th-century olive press that now offers a warm and inviting Tuscan retreat for up to 8 guests.

With the scent of olives in the air and the soft rustle of the trees, this is a place to experience the very essence of Tuscan living.
