About the villa

Graceful cypress trees line the path to this lovely house, a precursor to the elegance within. In its spacious sitting room, comfy sofas nestle round a big stone fireplace and a grand piano, and double doors open on to the garden. An attractively country-style dining room is open-plan, through a broad arch, to the very well equipped kitchen, where tradition meets high-tech with an Aga and modern appliances.  In a layout which lends itself to use by two families, the villa’s two upper levels each have a twin and a double bedroom and a master suite, the first floor master complete with four-poster bed and dressing room, and the second with its own study.All six bedrooms are air-conditioned, stylishly understated and furnished with a charming mix of rustic and contemporary pieces. Outside, a pergola pathway leads from the house to the twenty metre swimming pool, balanced, at the opposite end, by a leafy lounging pergola. In between are long lawns with a sail-shaded area, and the pool terrace is safely encircled by a fence disguised in greenery. Within easy reach of Pisa and the coast, Floreale is just 2km from local shops.

About the area

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

Please note that there is a European tourist tax payable on arrival to the House Manager. This only applies to guests over 12 years and the amount varies from €1 .50 to €5 per person and is set by the local council. Further details will be advised prior to arrival

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.
