Villa Marlia: A Treasure Chest Of A Garden Near Lucca

The Villa Reale, or Villa Marlia, is one of the many beautiful historic estates located in the Tuscan countryside. There are lots of wonderful villas in the area around Lucca, in particular, and this property in an area called Marlia is especially lovely.

A former royal palace with extensive and stunning gardens, it is filled with surprises around every turn and if you have found a luxury villa in Lucca, it is the perfect place to head off for a day trip.

Exploring the grounds, alone, will take up to two hours and if you want to picnic in the gardens (which we recommend) or visit the villa (although it is currently closed for renovation work), you will need additional time. Off the beaten tourist track and away from intense crowds but full of things to see and do, it is the ideal place to wander at your leisure and truly enjoy your downtime while on holidays.

The home of Leonardo isn’t actually found within the town of Vinci, but is actually located nearby in the foothills of Montalbano in a village called Anchiano in the comune of Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci was born in Anchiano on April 15, 1452 as the illegitimate child of a servant and a local landowner. The surrounding landscape, typically Tuscan, will be familiar to any fans of the master as it often appeared in his works. The house in which he grew up was reopened to the public in 2012 and is a must for anyone who adores his ouevre. Find a villa with internet in Vinci and step into the area's rich past while easily staying in touch with the present.

Those who are planning a trip to Tuscany and are looking to have an adventure while they're at it, they should be sure to find a vacation rental in Lucca and spend some time in the Val di Lima. Located in the heart of the beautiful Garfagnana area, between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan Coast, the Val di Lima is home to some wicked torrents and is the place to go for hiking, exploring, rafting, kayaking, canyoning, and riverplay, an activity that sees adults and children to explore the area on foot and by swimming in and diving into the Cocciglia canyons. If you're looking to plan your own adventure in Val di Lima, these are the activities and companies that you need to know about...

1. Garfagnana Rafting

Located in Chifenti, near Borgo a Mozzano, Garfagnana Rafting offer guided canyoning in two different parts of the Val di Lima, trekking in sections of the Apuan Alps and Apennines, various rafting excursions, kayaking, and riverplay trips. There are four different rafting experiences including the Rafting Lungo, Rafting Classico, Rafting Soft, and Rafting & Zip-line packages. The Lungo lasts three hours and goes down four different sets of rapids, the Classico lasts an hour and a half and goes through four other sets of rapids, the Soft goes down two smaller sets of rapids and lasts an hour and a half, and the Zip-line is a package executed along with a trip to the respected zip-line of the nearby Vagliapark. For more detailed information and special requests, just contact them directly.

Borgo a Mozzano is a town and comune in the province of Lucca, that is located on the Serchio River. It is most famous for an architectural feature located on the river, the Ponte del Diavolo (Devil's Bridge), which draws thousands of visitors to the town every year. It is one of two or three dozen ‘devil bridges' found primarily in Europe, most of which date back to medieval times. Thought to have been commissioned by the Countess Matilda di Canossa of Tuscany around 1080-1100, renovated around 1300 and renamed the Ponte della Maddalena around 1500 after an oratory dedicated to Mary Magdalene, it became known as the Ponte del Diavolo because of a popular legend. The legend tells the tale of a master builder who promised to build a bridge and became rather desperate when he realised he could not build it as quickly as he had assured the locals. One evening, while he sat on the bank of the river, the devil appeared to him in the form of a respectable businessman and said he could finish in a single night, if the builder would promise him the soul of the first one who crossed when it was completed.

Poor 2^/5 Villa Review Rating Details

Ik kan niets kiezen tussen goed en slecht in, dus wordt het toch slecht. Reden waarom ik dit huis niet zou aanraden is omdat het zo afgelegen ligt en zo moeilijk bereikbaar (het laatste stuk weg is ontzettend steil en smal en meer geschikt als voetpad dan als weg). Mijn man die toch echt een goede chauffeur is wilde het terrein liever helemaal niet meer af voor we weg gingen, zo ongemakkelijk vond hij het. Verder is er in de tekst van de website sprake van een tuin, maar hoewel er op de scheiding struiken staan, zijn er verder alleen maar tegels, grint en teer. Het enige uitzicht op de heuvels was in ons geval vanuit de keuken, verder was er nauwelijks uitzicht. In tegenstelling tot andere woningen die we huurden in Toscane moesten we hier 0,26KwH betalen (en dat loopt ook in een paar dagen zonder extreem stroomverbruik en maar met twee personen al snel op) en rekenen ze hier apart voor de eindschoonmaak een bedrag van 90,00. Dat zijn samen forse kosten boven op de huur.
