With four glorious bedrooms and welcoming up to ten guests, Villa Buonumore is a charming example of the best Tuscany has to offer. This exquisite farmhouse is surrounded by the most magical gardens, nestled in a secluded location close to the Medieval city of Lucca and just a short drive from the seaside town of Forte Dei Marmi.

The ancient citadel of Lucca is encompassed by towering walls and ten bastions built in the Middle Ages. Inside those mighty walls, you'll find a city full of culture and refinement, where priceless art and gourmet food are the order of the day. Stroll around the cobbled streets and piazzas of 'the city of 100 churches', and you'll discover a Tuscan gem that rivals Florence and Pisa for its sheer beauty. A region famed for its wine, ask your dedicated concierge to organise a vineyard tour to sample the finest Chianti.

A strong botanical theme runs through every room in Villa Buonumore, a reflection of the utterly enchanting gardens and lush green countryside surrounding it. Once the parish house of the neighbouring church during medieval times, today it's a cosy, welcoming villa where you instantly feel at home. A fascinating art history library is yours to browse. Once you've found that ideal literary companion, you can curl up on one of the living room's plush sofas for the afternoon. Multiple nooks allow everyone to find their own indoor and outdoor space. The kitchen is quintessentially Italian, with a delightfully rustic feel and premium-quality appliances. It opens onto the terrace for that wonderful al fresco dining experience.

The villa's bedrooms are serene spaces that are mindfully decorated to incorporate the villa's character, with a few boutique touches to each room. The primary suite has a spacious double bed and an attractive ensuite, with a private terrace offering spectacular views of the Tuscan peninsula. The two other guest rooms also have double beds, while in the attic, there are four single beds, making this space a great choice for younger guests.

Outside, the gardens take centre stage, utilising authentic Italian landscaping techniques to create a truly mesmerising setting with a stream, fish pond, a tree house and a mature rose garden. A heated pool sparkles in the sunlight, while outdoor dining and seating areas encourage guests to make the most of every ray of sunshine or every starlit night. This magnificent Tuscan villa is the perfect escape for a family occasion or special anniversary.
