If there was ever a Tuscan villa where you could create memories that would last a lifetime, it's Villa Bourbon. Featuring nine bedrooms and welcoming up to 18 guests, this exquisite villa complex near Lucca incorporates sympathetically restored farmhouse buildings elevated to a new level of excellence by opulent interiors and magical gardens.

Lucca epitomises the elegance and culture of Tuscany. This magnificent medieval city is encircled by towering walls and bastions that protect its charming cobbled streets and piazzas. Here, you'll find a wealth of fine dining and galleries specialising in the art and antiquities of the Tuscany region. Sip a glass of wine, relax in an outdoor café, and watch the world go by at a languid pace in the afternoon sunshine. Surrounded by vineyards producing world-renowned wine, ask your dedicated concierge to book your group onto a wine tasting tour to sample the delicious local produce.

Villa Bourbon's enchanting exterior welcomes you with the classic Tuscan colours of honey-gold walls and terracotta tiles, immediately making you feel at home. As you step through the door, the interior is a symphony of Italian marble, twinkling chandeliers and bespoke artwork, capturing the cultural ambience of the region. The living room is sublime, with a clever use of traditional and modern touches that complement one another. The dining room is magnificent, with a large table and crystal chandelier to give any party a refined flair. Villa Bourbon's kitchen is delightfully rustic but with state-of-the-art appliances that any chef would appreciate.

The villa is split between three properties – the main villa, the Pool House and the Suite House, allowing guests to choose the level of privacy they would like during their stay. The large social areas bring everyone together for al fresco meals on the terrace or evenings around the fire pit. The bedrooms are spread across the three buildings, with seven bedrooms in the main villa and large double-bed suites in both the Pool House and the Suite House. In total, seven of the bedrooms have double beds, while one bedroom has two queen-size beds, and the final guest room has two single beds, making it just right for younger guests.

The villa complex has simply stunning gardens and sun terraces that give you uninterrupted views of the golden countryside and surrounding vineyards. A shimmering pool is the perfect spot for a few early-morning laps or simply lay back and enjoy a bask in the sun on the loungers. Stone walkways link the three buildings and the secluded outdoor living areas, giving a sense of connection. Villa Bourbon is the quintessential Tuscan villa that's ideal for a family celebration or anniversary.
