Across our selection of stunning luxury villas in Tuscany, you will find several different historic properties that are beyond beautiful. For those who love history and art, period films, and dreamy or cinematic surroundings or for those who have always wanted to feel a little bit like a lord or lady, the experience of staying in one of these gems is utterly magical and unforgettable. The pretty Villa Moriano is one such property, a historic and charming and picturesque villa that looks like something from a Wes Anderson film or a storybook. An eight-bedroom luxury villa located in the lush countryside just outside the famous Medieval walled town of Lucca, this truly remarkable vacation rental in Tuscany has all of the bells and whistles that you could ask for and utterly seductive visuals.
Set within elegant and manicured gardens, with hedges and an iron gate protecting the property, Villa Moriano is in an elevated position, taking in views over neighbouring villas, verdant countryside, the town in the distance, and towering mountains further away in the background. These faraway views are paired with the delightful surroundings of the front garden including elegant box hedges arranged in impeccable geometric patterns, a fountain, lots of trees and plants and flowers, neat lawns, and a terrace with a large outdoor dining area for meals al fresco under the shade of a parasol.
The garden to the rear is no less charming, with a private pool set behind walls and hedges (with a gate for access that can be closed to ensure the safety of any little ones in your party). Around the pool, there is neatly trimmed grass, elegant sun loungers and parasols, an outdoor shower for rinsing off, and another dining area underneath an awning right next to the water. Lights set into the ground and around the pool also make this a charming area to spend time in the evenings as well as throughout the day.
It is not merely the pretty and symmetrical storybook exterior of the villa nor the lovely stone paths through the trees, plants, flowers, and amenities of the grounds that make Villa Moriano so appealing, however. In fact, things might get even more impressive once you step inside the villa and take in the stunning interiors. Expect high ceilings, massive windows overlooking the appealing scenery we have already mentioned, glittering chandeliers, antiques and elegant furnishings, rich carpets and heavy drapes, gilt mirrors, art everywhere you turn, painted ceilings, detailed mouldings, both formal spaces and comfortable rooms for relaxing, original features like massive old fireplaces and exposed beam ceilings, four-poster beds or pretty seating areas or both in the bedrooms, and generally spacious and luxurious bathrooms. Basically, expect a dream!
On the ground floor, you will find the historic and charming kitchen that features those aforementioned original details alongside all the mod-cons you could need for a delightful combo that makes a space once used exclusively by domestic staff into an appealing and memorable room in which to prepare meals throughout your stay. Foodies who like to cook will no doubt be excited to get to work here! They will likely also be charmed by the elegant formal dining room, which is sure to make any meal more sophisticated and special, although it is hard to compete with the wonderful al fresco dining options at the villa as well. In addition to these two rooms, the ground floor also boasts the stunning formal living room that looks like something right from a Jane Austen adaptation (but with the added bonus of WIFI) and a bathroom.
Then, on the first floor, you have three of the bedrooms, two of which are doubles and the final of which is a room with two singles. All three of these bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and both WIFI and air-conditioning for your convenience! On the second floor, you will find two more ensuite bedrooms, one of which has a double bed and the other a French bed, as well as two single bedrooms and a separate bathroom with a bathtub. Again, air-conditioning and WIFI can be found throughout.
In addition to all of these spaces, Villa Moriano has made use of the lower floor as a service room with a washing machine and dryer and an annex that has an additional kitchen and a more informal living room, another double bedroom, and another bathroom.
With excellent availability for summer 2023 still on offer and parking for up to four cars, this truly remarkable and stunning historic gem of a villa is an ideal spot in which to plan the vacation of a lifetime in one of our gorgeous Tuscany Villas.
