TUSCANY PROPERTIES


VILLA CARDINALE
SAN LORENZO A VACCOLI


Sleeps 8

The splendid city of Lucca, situated in the north of Tuscany, is famous for its elegant period houses built over a span of four centuries in some of the most pleasant areas of the Lucchese countryside and the arc of the hills which surround the plain of Lucca. Villa Cardinale is an excellent example of one of these villas. In the 17th century it was the residence of the Cardinal from which the villa takes its name. Renting a luxurious villa such as this offers one a unique opportunity to enjoy a holiday marked by elegance, relaxation, total privacy and excellent service, all in an environment rich in charm and history.

The villa has been superbly restored with all of the rooms having period furnishings, flanked by the modern comforts of SAT TV and internet access. The internal beauty and elegance of the villa is harmoniously balanced with the external space, which is made up of a stunning park with a garden, ancient trees and multicolored flowers and a patio. Situated at the highest point in the park, is a swimming pool equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas. The park also extends to the back of the villa where there is an area furnished with tables and charier for al fresco dining.

Villa Cardinale offers a staff to prepare a daily breakfast and one meal a fay, six days a week. The property is taken care of by a couple; the lady is an excellent cook and the man is available for food shopping and to run general errands. In addition, the villa staff includes a gardener and a waitress. Only the waitress lives on the property with an apartment in an isolated area. Privacy is therefore guaranteed. The villa, featured in the best editions of Lucchese Villa Books, is located only a few kms. from both Lucca and Pisa.
