Villa Controni is an elegant 19th-century
aristocratic villa set in the heart of a vast estate of
terraced hills and olive groves.
- The villa has its own private chapel
and ancient olive press, and boasts sweeping views
across the estate and down the valley towards the medieval hilltop town
of Lucca.
- Formal
Italianate gardens lay to the front of the villa, and to the rear a
pretty walled garden with manicured lawns provides a peaceful setting
for the delightful swimming pool and sun-lounge.
- An
arched loggia to the rear provides a shady retreat for relaxing or
outdoor dining, overlooking the camellia garden. Tables, chairs and
umbrellas are available for dining on the spacious grounds.
- All rooms within the villa are elegantly furnished.
- All bedrooms are en-suite, and decorated with hand-painted
details on the walls and ceilings.
- There are also magnificent views over the surrounding
countryside and down to Lucca from all bedroom windows.
With
three living rooms, a formal dining room and study area, the villa
offers larger groups plenty of opportunity to relax in each other’s
company, or enjoy moments of privacy.
