Lap up a luxurious Tuscan escape for 6!

Situated within a beautifully-renovated lodge in the prestigious Borgo di Matraia complex, which boasts shared access to 2 pools, a gym, sauna and the 2000mq parkland of Villa Guinigi, this 3-bed holiday retreat promises pure holiday escapism.

Situated along ‘Via di Matraia’ in the Borgo di Matraia, the hilltop views across the Lucca countryside provide the perfect backdrop for a timeless Tuscan stay.

The authentic historical village is home to a number of Italian restaurants (one of which, ‘Ristorante Le Colonne’ is just 4 minutes’ stroll away). In the neighbourhood, visitors can enjoy hiking, cycling and visiting ‘Fattoria Colle Verde’; for guided wine tours, wine tasting and trips to see the olive oil presses at work.
Just a 9 minutes’ drive away, guests can enjoy visiting Villa Marlia; a late-renaissance palazzo with beautiful gardens.

Within 26-27 minutes’ drive away, one can walk across the beautifully-preserved pedestrianized Medieval bridge of ‘Ponte della Maddalena’ in Borgo a Mozzano, or take in some designer shopping, sightseeing and fine dining, within the gorgeous city walls of Lucca. Pisa is also within easy reach, 45 minutes’ drive away. Those looking to bask in the beauty of the Tuscan coast are just 50 minutes’ drive away from the Art Deco seaside resort of Viareggio.
