Villa Maestosa
The Home
Once belonging to a 17th century count as his summer residence, Villa Maestosa exudes history, character and charm in the most magnificent parkland, in the hills just outside of Lucca, one of northern Tuscany’s most exquisite towns.
The setting of this elegant abode is quite special – ornate Italian gardens, century-old trees, a sweet-scented jasmine pergola and the sound of trickling fountains as you stroll along the paths and lawns. A stream runs into two small lakes, a perfect spot for relaxing as the swans gracefully swim by. Then of course there’s the delightful swimming pool, ideal for long summer days and beautifully flood-lit at night.
Step inside and discover the unique character of each of the floors. Walk up the villa’s grand steps up to the first floor living room, a place of charm and beauty with its frescoed walls and ornate furnishings. Next door the romantic music room features a piano by the...

The Neighborhood
Just 5km from the historic town of Lucca, in the beautiful foothills of Monte Pisano, this grand villa enjoys a prime location for exploring so much of Tuscany and beyond. Wander out to a choice of two local restaurants within walking distance whilst the nearest grocery store is only a 5-minute drive away. In the other direction, the nearest village, set in picturesque country surroundings, is around 4km by car or bike. Guests can arrange bike hire via the owners and you also have access to a tennis court/football field at the owner’s other estate, around a 5-minute drive away, available to hire on an hourly basis. One of the first places you will be keen to visit is Lucca, a delightful town with exquisite architecture and enchanting historic walls. Spend time exploring the winding lanes, coming across charming cafes and characterful restaurants alongside magical squares, pretty churches and impressive palazzi. Walk or cycle along the city walls, coming across parks, play areas and enjoying fantastic views towards the historic heart of the town. You are also in an ideal position for visiting the wonderful Tuscan cities of Pisa (14km) and Florence (84km). As an alternative to driving, you could take the train from Lucca or arrange a private driver and personalised itinerary. Some of Tuscany’s loveliest villages and towns are also close by such as the medieval hilltop village of Collodi (24km), beautiful San Miniato (48km) and the birthplace of the great artist, Vinci (48km). Spa-lovers should spend some time in Montecatini Terme (34km), home to nine spas and a number of lovely shops as well as stunning architecture and stunning views from Montecatini Alto, reached via an old-fashioned funicular. Walkers can explore so much of the immediate area with Monte Pisano so close or if you prefer horse-riding there is a centre just a short drive away. The Padule di Fucecchio (40km) is another wonderful place to explore by foot, a must for bird and nature lovers especially, whilst the spectacular scenery around Garfagna, around an hour away, can be discovered whilst hiking, rafting or kayaking. This is also a great location for its proximity to the Versilia coast with Viareggio (30km) and Forte dei Marmi (40km) easily reached for blue-flag sandy beaches, summer lidos and watersports as well as lots of family fun. Heading north, drive as far as La Spezia in Liguria, about an hour away by car, then catch one of the little trains into the incredible Cinque Terre National Park, a collection of idyllic villages and magnificent coastal landscapes, many connected by walking paths. The beautiful villages of the Golfo dei Poeti, from Lerici to Porto Venere, are also stunning places to visit.
