Villa Alessandra was originally the farm buildings of the neighboring estate. It was recently restored and refurbished to extremely high standards using authentic materials in the traditional Lucchese style. With terracotta tiled floors and chestnut beamed ceilings, the property has modern, well equipped kitchens and bathrooms, plasma screen TV's with sky satellite and DVD, stereo systems, central heating, a gym and even its own private 16th century chapel.
Set in countryside surrounded by a lawned garden and mature trees, yet only a 10 minute drive from the beautiful town of Lucca, Villa Alessandra is ideal for large groups. The house has a light and airy feel achieved by clever design features such as discreet windows between the roof beams to complement large windows and matching colored furnishings. The spacious and comfortable bedrooms with cooling ceiling fans all have access to an elegant bathroom, most are ensuite with a full bath and separate walk-in shower.
The immaculately presented main house is connected by a large courtyard to the barn with additional accommodations of a similar high standard to the main house, an opportunity for inviting more friends and family to stay. Surrounded by private gardens, the house and barn look onto an inviting pool for refreshing dips in the summer. Luxurious and spacious with excellent staff and facilities.
