If you’ve dreamed of restoring an antique home in the Italian countryside, live out your fantasy at VILLA GIANNA. Here, the work has already been done, and you’re free to spend your holiday enjoying the charming traditional architecture and modern comforts of this luxury vacation rental with private pool by the hamlet of Montecarlo. Simply unwind in the private enclosed gardens with family and friends overlooking the medieval architecture of a church dating back to 10th century, or use the property as a base to explore the area around Lucca.
A panoramic road will bring you out of the village of Montecarlo, into the hills and up to the gates of this romantic, honeymoon-worthy estate. Its terrace and pergola open to uninterrupted views of the antique italian garden, but trees and hedges hide the gardens from sight, so you’ll feel like the only one for miles as you sink into the pool, or prepare a meal at the al-fresco barbecue.
Though this VILLA still has its classic tiled roof, stone walls and floors, beamed ceilings, and wide hearth, its furnishings bring the villa comfortably into the modern age. Plump bedrooms invite you to linger in while overlooking the charming garden, the dining table has seating for six and there’s even a central counter for amazing cooking classes in the fully equipped spacious kitchen.
The owner of the Villa -who is also a bespoke interior designer- took great care of each details, multiple relaxing areas area the features of his latest creation: each single corner of this manicured garden is a pleasure for eyes. You can choose from sunbathing on a lounger by the pool or linger on a comfortable armchair by the antique gate or under the gazebo by the church.
Set close to all main sights of Tuscany suh as Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, Cinque Terre and San Gimignano, VILLA GIANNA is located just a short drive ou-tside the hilltop town of Montecarlo, which has medieval roots along with modern ameni-ties such as several groceries selling local harvested fruit, vegetable, cheeses, a wide as-sortment of shops, wonderful restaurants and many wineries that produce some of the most treasured wines and extra virgin olives oil.
