Perched on the rolling hillside above Lucca, La Ciciana is a breaktakingly beautiful Tuscan villa for up to six guests. Surrounding you with leafy grounds, rolling countryside and immaculate interior design, it makes for a truly majestic Tuscan getaway. Sitting quietly on an olive oil estate, you're only 15 minutes from Lucca and under an hour from the attractions of Pisa, Florence, and Siena.

At the foot of the Apuan Alps, the Medieval city of Lucca is steeped in history, and its ancient walls have been converted into bike-friendly tree-lined promenades. Visit the town's handsome piazza, with a stunning church and climb up the steps to the Guinigi Tower to marvel at the view and oak trees growing at the top. With Pisa just half an hour away, visit its iconic leaning tower and enjoy gelato on the banks of the Arno River. The villa places you in the heart of wine country, so ask your dedicated concierge to organise a wine-tasting session with a sommelier at one of your local vineyards.

Ornately styled and infused with Italian charm, the plush living room boasts comfortable fireside sofas beneath the exposed original beams and a twinkling chandelier. A delightfully bright and fresh kitchen-dining space boasts oil-painting views across the grounds. Rustle up delicious Tuscan feasts with local food from the surrounding hilltop villages, best enjoyed on the al fresco dining terrace.

Three bedrooms are located across the Main House, the Hay Loft, and the Cottage. Delicate and feminine with vintage accents, the bedrooms are a restful haven, augmented by spa-style ensuites. Each room has a double bed and arched windows to frame the verdant views.

Sheltered by flower-festooned walls, the 12-metre infinity pool, complete with a hydromassage jacuzzi, looks out onto the historic town below. Socialise on the terraces and poolside deck in the golden light of a Tuscan evening and fill the gardens with the scent of the wood-fired pizza oven in the outdoor kitchen. Explore the wonders of Tuscany from La Ciciana as you embody La Dolce Vita.
