About this villa rental
Potted plants and cypres still shade VILLA CLARA from view at this former 18th Century Small Mansion gone glam in the Tuscan countryside. Lush gardens frame a sparkling pool at this restored farmhouse near Lucca, in a village known for its Camellias festival and bespoke Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Beamed ceilings, brick floors, and archways retain the original ambiance, and a dining loggia shows off the views through a parish at the top oft he hill. Cut into local produce in the bright kitchen, relax and play chess in the stone-built pool house -once a horse stable- opening onto the patio by your private swimming pool. Horseback riding, tennis, and golf are all within range.
Grey-toned fabrics, and crystal chandeliers that fill this open-concept home frames big windows revealing rolling hills around the villa say country estate, but the city center of Lucca is only 12 kilometers away.
Listen to the bird’s chirping as you stretch out on a lounger by the saltwater pool, play on the lawn, or steal away to the shade of the covered outdoor living area. Savor the complimentary fresh fruit and bottle of wine around the alfresco dining table for 10 before heating up the barbecue for dinner with sunset views.
Stone walls and a tiled roof still give the impression of a period villa, but inside, the home shows off its style in color, texture, and artwork.
INTERIORS:
On the GROUND FLOOR: 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms with 3 built in showers, and a living room with TV and french windows overlooking the garden.
On THE MAIN FLOOR: an indoor fully equipped kitchen, a spacious dining room to seat 12 guests, another living room with TV and a french windows overlooking the garden, 2 bedrooms (1 of which with 2 twin beds) and 1 bathroom with a built in shower.
Air conditioning is provided in each single room, a very reliable wifi connection provided by the national phone company it is provided, sat tv and private parking inside the property. The Villa is located within a walking distance from restaurant and shops.

From the moment you enter the estate through the gates you're welcomed into a Tuscan getaway like that of the movies. The grounds are immaculate and attention has been paid to every leaf, bud and stem. A pool to cool off in, outside dinning with all the amenities including fridge and oven. Inside the house meets every expectation with beautiful and comfortable furniture along with gracious materials. In an ideal, rustic setting of sorts keeps you feeling private and safe. Easy to explore the countryside, we made many day trips while knowing we were coming home the estate.
Include more necessities, like that of a hotel. It was odd that we needed to go get toilet paper and paper towels, salt and pepper and some basics that could have been provided easily.

A beautiful setting in a centrally located area for easy day trips to Lucca, Florence, Tuscan towns, Pisa, Cinque Terre and closer seaside towns. The views from the villa are breathtaking.

Location
Luigi was very helpful
Everything was great but communication around checkin and check out could be better.
5.0
The location is fantastic. The setting is beautiful. The house is convenient to train stations, and an easy drive to many nearby cities and local attractions and some excellent wineries. The house is beautiful and well-maintained. The outdoor kitchen is amazing; we spent a great deal of time there together cooking, eating and drinking excellent wine. We will definitely be headed back.

We were so fortunate to spend 6 weeks at Villa Clara in June /July 2023 .The villa is exceptional ,we particularly enjoyed the outside kitchen and the fabulous pool.There are 2 reasonably priced restaurants and a bar within walking distance , and the bus stop for buses to Lucca and Pontedera . Luigi and his team were so helpful and did everything they could to ensure we had a wonderful stay. We can’t recommend this villa enough .

We stayed at Villa Lucca from the 1st to the 15th July. We had a wonderful stay and the villa was perfect for a family of 10.
Great outdoor space in particular the outdoor kitchen. Pool was large in size and the grounds were immaculate.
Couldn’t recommend this villa enough and a massive thank you to Luigi who took care of the villa and was always so friendly and helpful.

Villa Clara was amazing. It was ever better than we expected. The Villa was clean and comfortable. The grounds were stunning. There was a group of 8 of us staying at the Villa for 10 days and we all loved it. Villa Clara is centrally located so it was easy to travel to different parts of Tuscany. Luigi was extremely helpful and nice. I highly recommend this villa.
I would have more basic items in the villa like salt and pepper, extra toilet paper and paper towels

Die Villa in den Hügeln von Lucca ist wunderschön. Die Zimmer sind grosszügig und stilvoll eingerichtet. Die Sommerküche ist grossartig, ebenso der Swimmingpool mit der grossartigen Gartenanlage. Das ganze Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt. Wir haben eine unvergessliche Woche mit Freunden in der Villa verbracht. Ein grosses Dankeschön an die sehr freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Gastgeber.
Die Stühle in der Sommerküche sind zu niedrig für den Tisch. Es fehlt eine Anleitung für den Gebrauch des TV's und wie man die gewünschten Sender findet. Ein kleiner Tisch mit 2 Stühlen unter einem Olivenbaum - das wäre grossartig.

Villa Clara was for us, absolute perfection. The villa is decorated beautifully and perfectly clean. The stone walls, high ceilings and air conditioning kept the rooms very cool. The tall windows also gave lovely views of the grounds and countryside. Outside, the gardens were immaculately kept and very pretty. We spent most of our time by the pool and in the amazing outdoor kitchen. Snack, drink, swim, repeat. I would also mention the warm welcome from Luigi, who ensured we had a great time at Villa Clara.

The villa was luxurious and immaculately decorated to a high standard. The pool and outside kitchen area was fabulous. The owner Luigi was so friendly and welcoming and we would not hesitate to recommend this villa to our friends and family.
The only thing I would suggest is to have a table and chairs situated outside in the pool area so guests can have coffee/drinks outside, whilst enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

The villa was very impressive and exactly how the pictures looked
The facilities, cleanliness, pool, furnishings and fixtures
As mentioned to Luigi, the only thing we could really think of was something to play music outside (we carry a speaker normally).

Das Haus ist einfach ein Traum
Das Haus ist einfach ein Traum. Wir haben einen unvergesslichen Urlaub mit der Großfamilie erleben dürfen. Alles war perfekt vorbereitet. Die Kommunikation war super. Wir können dieses Haus und unsere Gastgeber einfach nur uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Wonderful Villa Clara
Our party of 6 adults truly enjoyed the beauty of the Villa. The privacy was wonderful as well as the views to the hills with the church. The recommended chef was not available during our stay, however Luigi found another chef for us to use and he was wonderful. There is nothing better than the beauty of the Tuscan region along with the food and friendly Italian people we were able to meet. Thank you again for a great vacation in Tuscany!

Best villa ever!
A truly 5* villa. It exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way. Luigi, the owner rushed over when the hot water stopped working, nothing was too much trouble and we had the best week ever! We will definitely be going back again.

Relaxing and gorgeous
This was a gorgeous house but the outdoor dining area and pool made our stay! The house was very clean and the details like the tile floors and frescos on the ceiling were absolutely beautiful. The outdoor dining area was amazing for a large group and we spent 90% of our time outside. Although the location is about 20 minutes from downtown Lucca it was great to be in the countryside and there was a great market 8 minutes away. Our only complaint was that the pillows were very flat and hard which made sleeping uncomfortable. This seems to be common in Italy however! Out entire group loved their stay and we would definitely do it again.

Amazing private luxury retreat
Hi Sonia,
Jeanne here. My sister and I wanted to send a personal thank you for our stay at your lovely (and historic!) Villa. Of all the places we visited in Italy, your city and home were the hardest for us to leave.
Also want to thank you for the wonderful book you have put together and your suggestions for home cooking lessons and tours. When we come back for a longer stay, we want to do a cooking lesson, for sure!My sister is already talking about bringing her husband back (they live in Switzerland, so it's much closer to visit Italy from there, of course!)
We did hire Isa and her husband for a day tour out in the countryside around Lucca. They paid attention to our interests and provided us with a very fun and interesting glimpse into something we never would have seen otherwise. They were wonderful!!
The Villa is gorgeous and so well-appointed. We felt like royalty staying there, and loved hanging our was out like real Lucchesi! The city is enchanting...so much to see and do!
Thank you, thank you....and all the best to you! You were wonderful to work with, Sonia.
Sincerely, Jeanne C.

Visited twice in 2017 and 2018
I was privileged enough to visit Villa Clara not once, but twice in both 2017 and 2018. I must say each precious moment spent in this charming, luxurious villa was a moment I forever hold in my heart! From the delicious food prepared by Cristina and Alice, to the astounding scenery, to the garden, my experiences at Villa Clara were some of the most memorable of my life. Our gracious hosts Sonia and Elisa provided endless opportunities to revel in authentic Italian culture and experiences. If I could go nowhere else in all my travels, I would be quite content to lay around at Villa Clara and luxuriate in the Tuscan sun, food, wine, and culture!

Villa is beautiful. Location central to many hill towns
The interior of this villa is stunning and completely updated . We lived in the covered outdoor dining and kitchen. The view to the back of property very pretty. The owner is fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed. Only issue was with address and finding the villa. Confirm exact directions and/or meeting place.

Wohlfühlen von Anfang bis Ende
Die Villa Clara ist ein Traum. Stilvolle Details und Ambiente, gute Raumaufteilung; waren 8 Personen aus 3 Generationen. Frühstück, Mittagessen und Abendessen wurden ausschließlich in der Outdoor Küche eingenommen. Bis aufs Schlafen und die Mittagsruhe hat sich die ganze Woche nur draußen abgespielt. Klimaanlage in allen Räumen ist so montiert, dass sie nicht direkt aufs Bett bläst. Werden sicher wieder einmal kommen.

Super feriebolig i gode omgivelser
Min familie på 10 personer tilbragte en uge i boligen, som virkelig levede op til vore forventninger. Med AC i hovedhuset med soveværelser og et flot udekøkken med et sofa arrangement ved siden af swimmingpoolen. Placeret i en lille by med restaurant midt i Toscana, ikke langt fra Lucca. Alt var i orden og en masse seværdigheder indenfor rækkevidde.. Hvis jeg skulle komme med forslag til forbedringer skulle det være at se på forholdene for håndtering af affald. Man sorterer affaldet, det må man lære at leve med, det gør man også derhjemme. Men med 10 personer skal der være nogle ordentlige containere, som kan rumme mængderne. Containere for plastik og organisk affald er utilstrækkelige!.
Alt i alt en super ramme for ferie for en større familie.

Reality far exceeded my expectations!
Villa Clara what a beautiful place it is! It far exceeds our expectations. It is an absolute paradise sitting high on a hillside in Tuscany. The vistas from its many terraces and poolside are spectacular! The site pics gave us only a hint of the beauty. We enjoyed the local restaurants, wine, most of all, the friendly people. Your GPS was so helpful and all we had to do after a long day was touch “home” on the screen and it brought us there safely. We saw and experienced Tuscany at its best. Just wanted to say thank-you again for a wonderful week at Villa Clara.
