Villa Vorno Vorno, Tuscany

Transcription

1 Villa Vorno Vorno, Tuscany Sleeps 12 guests, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms DESCRIPTION Villa Vorno is an elegant, air-conditioned, luxury villa with stunning rural views, just a short walk from the centre of Vorno, a lovely country village surrounded by forested hills. It is close to the attractive walled city of Lucca and within easy reach of Tuscany's famous citta' d'arte. Daily breakfast is offered, along with daily maid service to ensure a relaxing holiday for the whole group. Great care has been taken over the restoration of this exceptional 17th century villa, retaining a sense of splendour in keeping with the historic homes of Lucca. The two larger living rooms are fine areas in which to relax with a drink, perhaps whilst enjoying some music or reading a book. Bedrooms are spacious and of a very high standard, all with ensuite bath or shower rooms. The villa is approached via a driveway lined with cypress which winds its way through the walled grounds, planted with lime-trees, oaks, olives and magnolias. It is just a gentle stroll to the nearby village of Vorno where there are several shops and a restaurant, and there is a Pizzeria just 200m away from the villa. However, for those wishing to venture further afield, Lucca is only 20 minutes from the villa. Perhaps best known as the birthplace of Puccini, here you can enjoy a tour of the city walls on foot or by bike, where you have a birds eye view of the medieval and Renaissance churches and towers. Enjoy a coffee in the wonderful Piazza Anfiteatro or dine in one of the many great local restaurants - Lucca is one of the best preserved of all the great Tuscan cities. Pisa is about a thirty-minute drive and the Versilia coast and the blue flag beaches of Forte dei Marmi are about 40 minutes away. Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and many of the most beautiful towns and villages of Tuscany are within easy day trip distance.
