Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This traditional Tuscan home boasts a beautiful setting in the hills of Lucca. The historic city centre is just 6 kilometres away, but you’ll feel far removed from the hustle and bustle in this hilltop haven. The owner – who lives in the annex – is an art dealer who’s put his stamp on this home, with murals and artwork dotted throughout. This is a lived-in, rustic home, so it won’t suit those seeking a sleek, new-build look. We love the outside space, with its olive trees and swimming pool.
