The area, Forci, is one of the most beautiful in all the Lucca countryside. Despite its quiet location, the property is also just 15 minutes by car from the centre of Lucca with its many attractions, restaurants, shops and the stunning city walls where to take a walk. From the house and the garden, surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees, there are wonderful views over the countryside, from the Apuan Alps down to the plain of Lucca. The house has been restored and very tastefully furnished by a interior decorator for the use of his family and is now available for rent when they are not in residence. The owner mixed authentic Tuscan materials, such as antique cotto floors and beamed ceilings, and furnished it in a very attractive rustic, yet elegant style. Its unique interiors have been featured in renowned magazines such as “The World of Interiors” and "The Times" magazine. There is a comfortable round table for al fresco dining under the shade as well as a built-in barbecue. In front of the house there is a comfortable sitting area where to relax and have a glass of wine. Guests staying at Macennere can taste the incredible veggies from the vegetable garden located on the rear of the house. The 1,5 kilometres road, leading to the house, is not suitable for cars with low suspensions or for nervous drivers. Cleaning service is included 9 hours. The following might be to be paid extra: Heating, Pets, Refundable Security Deposit in cash, Tourist tax. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - DVD player - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Golfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 2,691 square feet ## Similar properties ![Sun-loungers](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18790000/18789500/18789477/4bce5cef.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tuscan villa with private pool – exclusive use Pescaglia - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.0 Wonderful 34 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=18789477&PinnedHotelID=18789477&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun-loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18780000/18772800/18772706/47f59d0b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage with private pool – exclusive use San Martino in Freddana - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.6 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=18772706&PinnedHotelID=18772706&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39850000/39846100/39846001/1d14e635.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Country House / Farm House in Pescaglia with 3 bedrooms sleeps 6 Pescaglia - Pool - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Parking available 10 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=39846001&PinnedHotelID=39846001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18780000/18770700/18770622/dfc28c85.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Rustic house with private pool – exclusive use San Martino in Freddana - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly 9.0 Wonderful 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=18770622&PinnedHotelID=18770622&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/33000000/32530000/32523500/32523414/4b8d3719.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning private villa with WIFI, private pool, TV, pets allowed and panoramic view, close to Lu...

Very remote, very relaxing. ##### Stefan R. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vivienne V. 23 Aug 2022 #### Review for stay from 06 August 2022 to 13 August 2022 BEAUTIFUL! After recovering from road to the house we opened up all the shutters and there it was... this beautifully decorated house with all the little corners and stairs and views. And the swimming area, wow! We had a perfect lovely week here with our friends and family. The kitchen is amazing and the housekeeper Marinella... she is GOLD! She made us dinner 2 evenings and were blown away by her food and personality. We loved everything and hopefully will come back! ##### Vivienne V. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashwini S. 8 Jun 2022 #### Review for stay from 28 May 2022 to 04 June 2022 Villa Macennere was a dream. The villa was perfect in every way, the bedrooms, bathrooms were all huge and great quality. The kitchen was a dream to cook in with everything you could ever need to make a fantastic meal. We were so lucky to be able to use the veggie garden everyday for our cooking, we couldn’t have asked for a better villa. The pool was amazing. The scenery breathtaking. The house manager, Marinella, is amazing and so helpful, she made our stay unforgettable and she is the most fantastic cook. The only downside is the road to the Villa, which was really quite tough. ##### Ashwini S. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### A N. 10 Sept 2016 #### Review for stay from 27 August 2016 to 03 September 2016 One of the best properties we have ever been (and we rent one every year). The setting, the character, the caretaker... everything is special in Macennere! ##### A N. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### T C. 15 Aug 2015 #### Review for stay from 01 August 2015 to 08 August 2015 A great villa, probably one of the best ones we have visited.

Great area.Tough, you need to pay attention for the road to the villa. ##### S B. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### M M. 7 Sept 2013 #### Review for stay from 24 August 2013 to 31 August 2013 Unsere Ferien sind zu ende und wir könne auf unvergessliche Tage im Haus Macennere zurückgblicken. Ich möchte Ihnen recht herzlich danken für die super Organisation! Es hat alles bestens geklappt und das Haus Macennere ist der absolute Hammer (trotz der etwas ungewohnten Zufahrt :-) ) Das Haus hat alle unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Nochmals besten Dank für Ihre Bemühungen. (Marco Mertins) Our holiday are at the end and we can already think at the unforettable days spent at Macennere. I would like to thank you very much for the super organization! Everything went at the best and the house Macennere is absolutely fantastic (although the unusual drive) The house exceeded our expectations. Again, thank you for your assistance. (translation from the German by Salogi) ##### M M. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### R H. 1 Jun 2012 #### Review for stay from 18 May 2012 to 25 May 2012 Das Ferienhaus hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Wir waren uns einig, daß dies das schönste und am liebevollsten eingerichte Haus war, in dem wir bis jetzt waren. Alles bis ins letzte Detail gestylt, aber doch wohnlich. Individuell mit allen Küchenutensilien, wie sie vorhanden sind, wenn der Besitzer darin selber wohnt. Aufteilung der Schlafzimmer fast gleichwertig mit liebevollen Bädern. Mit eigenem Gemüsegarten zur Benutzung und liebevoller Betreung durch 2 Gärtner und Putzfrau. Man darf sich allerdings nicht durch die Zufahrt schrecken lassen, die doch ziemlich zeitaufwändig ist. Diese Abgeschiedenheit macht natürlich auch den besonderen Reiz aus, glaubt man doch in seiner eigenen Welt zu sein. Für große Besichtigungstouren ist die Anfahrt eher abschreckend, was für uns kein Problem war...... slow down!! Haben abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade eine Wanderung am Rande bzw. drch. die Steinbrüche von Carrara unternohmen. Mit klapprigen Bus von Carrara nach Trano und zu Fuß über die Berge zurück nach Carrara. ##### R H. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### L D. 1 May 2012 #### Review for stay from 17 April 2012 to 24 April 2012 The house at Macennere is spectacular - intentionally rustic, totally comfortable and charming . . . and we could have stayed forever. The driveway is a bit intimidating, but worth the trip. The grounds of the house are equally spectacular. We were content to spend the evenings at the house preparing dinners that included fresh produce from the gardens and fruit trees. The kitchen has everything we needed (including a pasta maker) and the wood burning outdoor grill worked wonders. Bedrooms are large and the beds very comfortable with plenty of privacy for our group of 3 couples, a single and 2 teens. The location in the hills was just what we wanted - - very much away from everything. I hope we will be able to return some day!! ##### L D. ---
