LOCATION
The Villa is placed on the top of the Belvedere hill in Santa Mari a Colle village, at about 10 minutes drive from the historic walls of Lucca, an ancient town with the birth place of the great composer Giacomo Puccini and many historical monuments such as Anphitheatre square or the Guinigi tower, with its famous trees on the top. From june to October you can also enjoy various international festivals in Lucca and in the nearby village of Torre del Lago Puccini (eg Festival Pucciniano, Lucca Summer Festival) and Lucca comics and games.The close village of Nozzano Castle famous for its medieval festival offers one of the many events of September Lucchese.

The villa is simultaneously located close to the beaches of Forte dei Marmi, Viareggio and Pietrasanta (about 25 minutes drive), to the mountains, to the Garfagnana’s villages and to the toll booth of the Firenze-mare highway, the arterial road that connects Lucca to the beautiful cities of Florence, Siena, Carrara, the Cinque Terre and Pisa. The Railway Station is about 6 Km from the property.

The strategic position of Villa Belvedere, therefore, allows you to plan day trips to the other famous art cities of Tuscany, too.

Stayed for our family’s Italian reunion. We were six adults and four children under 12. The grounds and the Villa were beautiful. My four year old granddaughter asked me if a princess used to live here. I told her that one probably did! The owner, Fiorella and her daughter, Barbara were wonderful to work with. Both were very gracious and accommodating. We definitely plan to come back and stay again in a few years. Rosanna ( the Nonna )

The villa is even better than the photos appear. The host was so friendly and kind, excellent communication too. The villa is a truly stunning example of a lavish residence of the period with wonderful original details. The kitchen was the biggest of all the villas we had stayed at and was well equipped. The gardens were truly stunning and the pool was clean and well looked after. We stayed as two families (4 adults and 3 grown up children) and the accommodation arranged over 2 floors was perfect, not easy to please everyone! Bedroom sizes and bathrooms worked very well for all concerned. To sum up the villa, absolutely ten out of ten! Location, the villa is a short walk to a really good local restaurant which we all enjoyed and would readily recommend. The host also recommended a wonderful and very traditional restaurant overlooking Lucca which was fantastic (only issue was limited veggie options). The stunning walled city of Lucca is just a short drive away (15 - 20 minutes to a good cheap car park). We could not recommend this gorgeous villa enough, anyone planning a trip with family and or friends could not want for more. We will be back!

Please run dont walk to book this most amazing Villa. Earlier this month our party of 8 had the privilege to be able to stay there for a week for a special birthday celebration. Right from the initial booking contact to a lovely follow up after we checked out, Fifi & Barbara were so wonderful to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble & they were very patient in answering all of our questions. They also put us in touch with the most amazing caterers at “Cooking in Toscana” who did an absolutely delicious 4 course birthday dinner complete with wine. The villa itself, the surrounding gardens & the pool far exceeded what we had hoped from the listing. We had so much fun in the pool & playing bocce in the designated area overlooking the olive groves & tuscan hills. The table tennis was also enjoyed. The villa was simply stunning & had everything we needed to make our stay so memorable. We only used the downstairs kitchen & aside from the catered birthday dinner (the caterers cooked it all there), we cooked delicious dinners enjoyed around the long dining table every night. There were fabric insect screens outside the windows which did a great job of keeping the mosquitoes away. We did not want to leave this beautiful place at the end of the stay and cannot thank Fifi & Barbara & “Cooking in Toscana” (Tze’ela & Mauro) for making our dream come true. One very happy birthday girl & her family & friends, all from Australia who still can’t stop smiling! Bellissimo🌟
