About the villa
A pretty pink villa, privately positioned amid manicured lawns and mature trees, this charming house is the result of impeccable restoration. Formerly the farm buildings of the impressive Villa Donati estate, Novedieci now offers cool, comfortable and contemporary interiors beneath its chestnut beamed ceilings, seamlessly blending the old and the new with a well-equipped gym, WiFi, and flat screen televisions. Chic, spacious and uncluttered, the main house has a study, TV room, and a delightful open-plan living space with kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Each of the eight bedrooms is beautifully simply styled, all fitted with ceiling fans, and most with en suite full bath and separate shower. A similarly high spec barn conversion forms a guest annexe for up to four, with its own sitting room, dining kitchen and open terrace. A large covered terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, made even more attractive with (optional) cook service. And there is a swimming pool within the garden and a tennis court in the grounds of Villa Donati, 50m away. The villa is within very easy reach of Lucca, Pisa and the coast.

Lucca, Pisa & Lunigiana
Average weather
Although they are only 17km apart, Pisa and Lucca instantly feel like different worlds. The former is a lively student city on the River Arno, and has one of the world’s most recognizable monuments: the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Understated Lucca is compact and genteel, ideal for a Tuscany villa nearby, with handsome piazzas that frame churches in the Luccan-Romanesque style. Those on a Lunigiana holiday occupy the Apennine foothills in far north-western Tuscany. It is rolling, blissfully empty terrain whose few inhabitants have cultural links with neighbouring Liguria.

Essential Information

Having a barbecue in Italy is one of the best ways to cook your food but you may find that due to long drought periods in high season barbecuing may be restricted in some areas. You will be informed if this happens by your house staff or local representative.
