About this villa rental
Welcome to Villa Borbone, a place where simple moments become your everlasting memories.
Idyllically serene with spellbinding views towards the old town of Lucca, the hills and the coast on the background, this is your safe retreat, your own oasis of calm at this portion of renovated Renaissance Villa dating back to 1400s by the village of Pieve Santo Stefano. Hop in for a quick lap and then fix yourself a snack in the summer kitchen in the shaded pool house. Then, wander through fragrant gardens and olive groves before heading out to dinner at the local bespoke restaurant Vipore for a traditional Tuscan dinner, just 2 kilometres away.
Situated on 1 hectare of private, expertly manicured lawns, Villa Borbone is split between the Main House (Despite the neighbours live in the adjacent part, privacy is granted as they have their own entrance on the opposite side of the villa.), Pool House, and The Suite House. Stone walkways and lush lawns connect each separate building, adding an extra touch of privacy to the estate. Inside, stretch out on the sofa by the wood-burning fireplace, get creative in the chef’s kitchen, and pamper yourself among history.
Villa Borbone comes with a private parking and 2 kitchens in addition to 3 secluded outdoor living areas. Stir up a few cocktails and gather in the outdoor lounge, enjoying the countryside scenery as the sun sets.
Lucca is an incredible place to eat and drink, so work up an appetite by hiking through Tenuta di Forci, the natural reserve where the villa sets among. Most trails lead to scenic lookouts over vineyards and the sea in the distance with the Tuscan Island Archipelago, so make sure to bring a camera.
The bedrooms are all air conditioned (except the bedroom in the lower ground floor which is built in an ancient cave so it results very cool during the warmer months).
Despite the neighbours live in the adjacent part, privacy is granted as they have their own entrance on the opposite side of the villa.
No parties are allowed at this property.

The villa is in amazing location with great views and a lot of charm. The villa is very charming, but the maintenance isn't of the highest standard (e.g. the showers were a bit flooded, and one of our guests got stuck in the bathroom and wasn't able to unlock).
The hosts were very nice and responsive, and the house is isolated in a good way.
The drive up to the villa could be a bit scary, but it helps with isolation.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there and highly recommend it!

This is a beautiful and well appointed villa with outstanding views of the surrounding hillsides and mountains. It was a wonderful gathering place for our family of 10 adults with room to spare. The outdoor space is stunning with plenty of seating and the resort-like pool area is gorgeous. The photos are an accurate depiction of the property. The drive into town is less than 10 minutes and perfect sandy beaches are within a half hour drive. The host of the Villa is a lovely person and a knowledgeable source of information about Lucca and the surrounding areas. We would highly recommend this beautiful property and would love to return some day!

We spent one week in Villa Borbone with a group of 17 person. The villa is located on a hill with a great view over Tuscany landscape. All rooms are similar in size and therefore the villa seems perfect for a big group. There are two additional houses, on of them with a kitchen. We used this extra villa for our friends with a small child. Contrary to the previous comment, the neighbor was more than friendly, he brought as self-made olive oil and self-made red wine when we were making pizza in the provided stone oven. He was never complaining about noiseanything else. We can absolutely recommend Villa Borbone for a stay in a group of friends but also with family. As it is located about 15-20 Minutes from Lucca, you definitely need a car for that accommodation. Enjoy your stay!!!

Beautiful place. The owners are lovely and Lucca Apartments and Villas are super helpful.
The hot water issue could be improved : )

Villa Borbone was exactly as it is portrayed on the listing - spacious, elegant, well-maintained and with a breathtaking view of the Tuscan countryside. Our checkin process with Elia was seamless - she is friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. All the rooms are lovely as pictured, and our group of 11 have so many great memories spent together in the back yard overlooking the valley, in the other common rooms.
There are a very few maintenance issues that Elia will relay to the owners, which I'm sure will be quickly resolved (main dishwasher, dish towels, coffee maker),
The drive up to the villa from downtown Lucca is quite windy and steep with switchbacks, especially at the end, so be prepared. But the view is worth the trek!
