La Canonica

Set on the edge of the tiny village of Brandeglio, in Lucca, this lovely stone villa boasts a great location on a sloping site looking towards the forest-covered hills and down to Bagni di Lucca below. The spacious, fully furnished terrace is just the place to contemplate these captivating vistas and will easily accommodate your party of 12 when you gather for a lingering lunch or pre-dinner drinks. Venture down to the pretty garden to discover your private pool, which also offers sweeping rural views as you swim.

Inside, there’s lots of space, so everyone can find a spot to relax on one of six squishy sofas in the two lounges or around the table in the dining room that sits 12. If the nights are chilly, there’s a huge fireplace to gather around, too. The décor and furnishings are typical Tuscan villa style – smart, rustic and exceedingly comfortable, while the bedroom arrangements are flexible enough to suit a variety of groups.

So, whether you’re planning to travel with a group of friends, or on a multi-generational family holiday, this could well be the villa you’re looking for. The sheer variety of things to do nearby makes it an even more attractive option, and its village location means there’s a little life on the doorstep, too, for those who don’t want to be completely disconnected from the world. There are lots of activities nearby to keep mixed groups occupied, too – from walking, cycling, kayaking to wine-tasting for the grown-ups. For a spot of indulgence, the hot springs and wellness centre in Bagni di Lucca are not too far away.
