Built in 1729 near the ancient fortified city of Lucca, Villa Boccella embodies the finest in classic Tuscan living. With plenty of large spaces for dining and relaxing, it is an ideal retreat for a large group or family; children will love settling into the child-size four-poster bed or splashing in the shallow end of the fenced swimming pool. Gather in the elegant ballroom for an evening to remember; curl up with a good book in the library; relax in a well-appointed sitting room; or retreat to the serenity of your private chapel on the grounds.

Villa Boccella has been completely renovated while remaining faithful to its original details, creating elegant yet comfortable accommodations with period antique furnishings. As well as the pretty gardens close to the house, Villa Boccella includes extensive grounds that offer plenty of opportunity for delightful strolls through olive groves and woodland. The large swimming pool offers cooling relief from the glorious Tuscan sun, and includes a changing room with shower. For a truly unforgettable getaway, rent the guesthouse with the main villa to accommodate an additional 15 friends or family members.
