Panoramic Private Pool with a Lucca View and Private Tennis Court Villa Gufo is a paradise of tranquillity. Immersed in verdant olive groves and lush, rolling hills this beautiful property offers spectacular views south to the ancient city walls and medieval towers of Lucca and westwards to the mountain ranges by the sea. From the moment you arrive you will feel at ease, enveloped in nature and the bucolic Tuscan countryside. The Villa’s historic stucco façade exudes character and charm while timber beam ceilings and vaulted stone arches hark back to its distant origins and rustic heritage. A stretch of manicured lawn and vibrant flower beds leads down from the panoramic veranda through a scented herb garden and then on to the private infinity swimming pool. Beyond lies your own private tennis court. Glorious walks abound from your front door leading to hilltop views of high mountain ranges and glimpses of the glistening Mediterranean. Explore nearby ancient churches and the well-preserved medieval hamlets around, once a resting point for weary pilgrims travelling the Via Francigena, the famous pilgrim route that connected Northern Europe to Rome and then on to the Holy Land. Shuttered windows open up to reveal the garden below and in the distance the medieval silhouette of Lucca. An outdoor marble dining table for 10 sits under the rampant wisteria covered veranda and enjoys a breath-taking view down the Freddana valley, ideal for al fresco dining on those balmy evenings and conveniently located right next to the kitchen. Settle into a comfortable chair on the gazebo for cocktails or stretch out by the pool and uncork and enjoy a bottle of one of the region's many excellent wines. The wonderful traditional Tuscan country kitchen crowned by a grand old dining table is a great way to enjoy meals together, a place where many memories of happy times spent with loved ones are formed. It’s the perfect venue to try your hand at Italian cooking, maybe to take in some local cooking classes? A 15 mins drive brings you to Lucca—a medieval gem of a town famed for its fortified city walls, historic architecture and monuments as well of course for its wine production. Its narrow streets and splendid squares are filled with intriguing shops, enticing cafes and great restaurants. Take a bicycle ride on the battlements or set aside a few hours to tour a local vineyard and taste your way to a new favourite wine. On a day trip away from your rural retreat, stroll along the sandy beaches or take a swim in the warm waters on the bustling Versillian Riviera just 25 mins away; it’s a unique Italian seaside experience with bathing establishments stretching for miles along the sandy shores from vibrant Viareggio to sophisticated Forte dei Marmi. Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montecatini Terme, the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre, the spectacular mountains of the Garfagnana and many other highlights are all within easy reach. Please note that for the last two kilometres access to the house is on a largely unpaved, winding road, typical of the Tuscan countryside. It is not recommended for sports cars or cars with very low chassis. There is a bakery 6 minutes down the hill, and a supermarket, pharmacy and ATM cashpoint 10 minutes away in San Martino in Freddana. We are sorry but no children under 6 are allowed at this property.

The Villa was all that we had imagined it would be. The view is unforgettable and the surroundings of the house the most idyllic. We all had a great time and we look forward to meet you in summer when we come back to Lucca and stay at your amazing house!

Our family consisted of my wife and me, four of our adult children. We were there for 2 weeks. Villa was terrific, furnished with everything you needed, great location for daily trips to other great cities. Swimming pool was super. Mrs Sonia was very easy to work with and had all the answers to our questions. A once in a lifetime experience ##### Anne This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lotte 31 Oct 2022 #### High on Tranquility We needed a peaceful rest and that was easily found at Villa Gufo. It is so quiet, absolutely beautiful and a well functioning home where things were very easy to find and working well. Great pool and pool area. The house is a bit difficult to find and the road to and from is a bit of a struggle. Probably due to the autumn the house was rather cold, especially at the ground floor and no way to heat it. ##### Lotte This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barb 27 May 2019 #### We are counting the days untilour return next year Absolute paradise. We are counting the days until our return in May 2020. The views from the villa and the pool took my breath away - several times a day! The accommodations are very comforta-ble in the simple Tuscan style. Sonia and Mr Giovanni provided a wealth of information about the surrounding area - from local history and restaurant recommendations to all the directions and in-formation needed for our day trips around Tuscany. We plan to spend more time exploring Lucca this trip. My only complaint...we had to leave! ##### Barb This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marius 23 Nov 2024 #### Danke!

The house is fantastic, it is completely secluded and quiet in the mountains. The house is perfectly equipped and furnished with love. Not a typical holiday home where everything is just thrown together. Nothing was missing. The beds are super comfortable. The pool is huge with a perfect view. The tennis court is in very good condition. There was even a vegetable patch that you were allowed to help yourself to. There is a small supermarket within 15 minutes. The centre of Lucca is about 30 minutes away. Day trips to PisaFlorence are very feasible. ##### Kim This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim 18 Jul 2021 #### Amazing Trip!
