Once the hunting lodge of Count Cosimo Bernardini, this luxury Lucca villa is now an exclusive retreat in Tuscany surrounded by vast parkland, filled with antique statues, water features and fountains. This luxury Lucca villa has been completely restored and equipped with all the modern creature comforts guests could wish for whilst retaining its history and tradition. Beamed ceilings, terracotta flooring and ornate windows add a huge amount of character to the home whilst the antique furnishings that have been in the Bernardini family for centuries have also been retained to provide a unique villa rental in Tuscany for guests to enjoy.

Inside, there are 12 bedrooms in this luxury Lucca villa, all with ensuite bathrooms. Please note that should you need extra space, some of the bedrooms can also accommodate an additional bed so that the house can accommodate up to 26 guests in total. This would be an extra charge.

Seven of the bedrooms have double beds (170cm x 190cm), four have twin beds (which can be converted into double beds if you prefer) and the other has a French bed (140cm x 190cm). All the ensuite bathrooms have bath tubs and showers.
