Recently renovated, this luxury home with a small cottage in the gardens is conveniently located just five kilometers from the famous city of Lucca. With breathtaking views set in the countryside of olive groves, vineyards and cypresses, this home was originally two farm buildings on an impressive estate. The owners restored the property to luxury standards using authentic materials in the traditional Lucchese style including terracotta floors and chestnut beamed ceilings creating a light and airy feeling.
The setting is serene and tranquil, with a large main house that was once a barn, connected by what was once an ancient barnyard and now an amazing courtyard, to the small barn that stored the hay for the cows and sheep. The outside living areas are just delightful, with lawns, gardens and wooded lots surrounding the home, creating an outdoor living space that can be enjoyed day and night. A stone's throw from the house is a 16th century chapel that is still used for small weddings.
Like much of Italy, Lucca lies within a wine producing region. Diciannove itself is on the famous wine road, a designated self wine tour route north of Lucca. This area has a large number of wineries, many of which can be visited for tours and tastings by prior arrangement. Visits to Chianti, Montepulciano and Montalcino are also possible for day trips.
The main house has seven en suite bathrooms and one bedroom that has its own entrance from the hallway and is also connected to bedrooms on each side. This room is ideal for children, as they must share a bathroom with another en suite bedroom. Two addtional bedrooms are located in the charming converted hay barn.
