Villa Marraccini 8

Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the verdant hills south of Lucca, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Marraccini is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends historic elegance with modern comfort. Originally a 19th-century chestnut spatula, this beautifully restored villa has been carefully preserved to honor its architectural heritage, featuring terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, sandstone fireplaces, and period furniture that together create an atmosphere of refined authenticity. The property has been subject to a check carried out by one of the technical managers to ensure the correspondence of the description, the accessories listed, and their state of operation and maintenance. Spread across 2 floors, the villa accommodates up to 8 guests and is surrounded by a large, meticulously landscaped garden offering panoramic views of the Tuscan hills stretching toward Lucca. A stunning non-heated swimming pool crowns the upper garden, while the expansive yard, lush with Mediterranean plantings, provides a serene and picturesque setting for outdoor living. Covered parking is available on the property, shaded by chestnut, olive, and cypress trees, and high-speed internet Wi-Fi ensures guests remain connected throughout their stay.

Outdoors

The landscaped garden of Villa Marraccini is a true highlight of the property, extending over terraced levels planted with lemon and orange trees, lavender, aromatic herbs, succulents, and palm trees, all framing breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding hills up to Lucca. A vine-covered pergola provides natural shade over the outdoor dining and living area, creating an inviting space for al fresco meals and relaxed gatherings, complemented by an adjoining built-in barbecue. A staircase leads from the garden up to the pool area, positioned in the upper part of the garden approximately 40 meters from the villa. The non-heated pool is rectangular in shape, measuring 6 x 12 meters with a depth varying from 0.90 to 2.30 meters, finished in sand-colored PVC and accessible via a steel staircase. It features a salt purification system as well as both indoor and outdoor lighting. The surrounding solarium area is paved with wood and shaded by a large patio furnished with tables and benches, offering a refined space for sunbathing and relaxation. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. After the entrance gate, a covered car park shaded by chestnut, olive, and cypress trees provides convenient and sheltered parking for guests. Please be aware that access to the villa involves crossing a village with a narrow passage not suitable for vehicles wider than 2 meters (6.5 feet). As photo shoots are generally carried out in spring, the colors and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and parks may appear different upon arrival depending on the season.
