*****THE VILLA*****

The villa, with its 450 SQUARE METERS, sleeps up to 12 PEOPLE and was beautifully restored according to the highest standard and comforts.
The ground floor is huge with a large entrance, a sitting room with fireplace, a formal dining room, a large fully fitted kitchen, a small study with a high definition satellite TV (with blu-ray player and a private movie collection), an elegant and cozy air-conditioned bedroom with joinable twin beds (if joined they form a comfortable queen bed), and a full bathroom. Two big panoramic verandas – the first one for dining, equipped with a stone BBQ and a spacious stone table, and the second one for relaxation, equipped with outdoor sofas – complete the ground floor.

On the first floor there are five air-conditioned bedrooms with en suite bathrooms: two of them are queen-bedded and are considered the magnificent master bedrooms; the other three bedrooms come with joinable twin beds (if joined they form a comfortable queen bed). All bedrooms are spacious with tasteful furnishing, ample wardrobe space and have large open windows overlooking the charming valley and enjoying the same spectacular view characteristic of the house.

The furniture dates back to the 19th century and was purchased in antique shops in the area of Tuscany. The wrought-iron comfortable beds were all handmade by one the greatest craftsman in Arezzo. Moreover, the Villa is completely floored with ancient mezzane, while ceilings have been restored with ancient chestnut beams. These are just a few examples, since only ancient original materials were used in the renovation process, in order to completely preserve the authentic Tuscan tradition of this unique magical place.

*****LOCATION AND PANORAMA*****

The location of Villa Segale is magnificent.
Perched among green and forested valleys west of Lucca, SEGALE IS SURROUNDED BY 80 ACRES (32 HECTARES) OF OLIVE GROVES AND VINEYARDS.

Such an uncommon spectacular area allows plenty of space to wander and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the property’s extensive grounds. Hence guests can join the natural unspoilt surroundings and admire the local fauna such as owls, birds, hawks, hedgehogs and fireflies.

The spectacular view across the valley towards the Renaissance monuments of the cities of Lucca and Pisa is to die for. Thanks to its exclusive position, on a typical clear day guests can admire the valley below and the whole landscape up to 40 km around. On the clearest days also the sea of Livorno can be seen.

Photos cannot portray the powerful details of such an exceptional view which is recognized as the most stunning in the whole area of Lucca.

Incredible view, tranquil
The villa is one of a kind. Peaceful and quiet. The panoramic views across Lucca and the surrounding hills is incredible. The owner and his staff are second to none. There is literally nothing they won’t do for you; from making suggestions, fixing issues without delay, booking trips on your behalf, and even personally sending forgotten items to you after you have arrived back home! There is SO much to do in the area, but quiet time around the pool (which is HUGE) is also wonderful . The villa is piece of Tuscan history and you really feel part of the culture when staying there. Cinque Terre boat trip is a ‘must’ - we went with ‘Del Mare’, booked by Michela. Elisabetta cooked us the most amazing Tuscan meal one night in the villa. All bought, prepared and cleared up for us. Florence is a great day out by train. If you’re thinking about booking Villa Segale, don’t hesitate, just book it!

Amazing
Everything was made incredibly easy for us not only in terms of booking our stay but also during our time at the villa. Both the manager and the owner were so approachable and friendly. Michela helped us arrange babysitters and a chef as well as sending us a video of the bedroom layout so we could determine where best to put the babies to sleep. The villa itself was perfect. It managed to retain its old world charm whilst still having all the modern conveniences one would want. Perfect holiday for families with babies and young children who don’t necessarily want to venture out everyday but also perfectly located for trips to Luca and Pisa.

Family celebration!
What an amazing place! We have just enjoyed a wonderful week in the tranquil setting of Villa Segale, together with our son and daughter and 4 of their young children, ranging in age from from 4 years to 10. A fabulous week, mostly spent by or in the pool, with a visit to Florence and Pisa also thrown in. A lovely celebratory ( birthday for me! ) meal one evening in Lucca was perfect and was based on a suggestion in the house information file (Trattoria Canuleia in the City Walls) . Fabulous food and service and a great venue for family meals. Villa Segale is in a wonderful location and has been tastefully restored and modernised without compromising its history as a family house of many many years - it has a really peaceful and welcoming feel about it.

Absolutely wonderful - better than we could have imagined!
We stayed at the Villa for 2 weeks, there were 10 of us total spanning 3 generations, 6 adults and 4 children. The villa exceeded our expectations in so many ways! The house was beautiful inside and out, the rooms were furnished beautifully. Despite how hot it was outside the air conditioners allowed for a very comfortable nights sleep and the pool was perfect for the heat. We enjoyed meals outside with the beautiful view of the valley and Lucca below. The house manager was so helpful as was the cleaning staff who came throughout our stay. The location is stunning and great for day trips to nearby towns. We could not be more pleased and hope to visit again in coming years! Thank you for our perfect vacation!

I am a doctor, who inherited this beautiful place almost 10 years ago. After generations this wonderful place 'arrived' to me and to my family, and we've immediately felt in love with it!

Why they chose this property

This is a truly unique place and that's the reason why I love it so much. Considering today's standards, it's almost impossible to still find places with similar attributes: a fascinating hystorical stonehouse surrounded by 32 hectares of private land - including olive groves and wineyards - immersed in a complete sense of privacy and tranquility. At the same time being so close to Lucca city (9km) as well as to other many fascinating places. This place is a truly hidden pearl !

What makes this property unique

Enjoying the most beautiful panorama of the Lucca area and living inside a traditional 11th century stonehouse that has been carefully renewed at the highest standards, while keeping completely intact the fascinating Tuscan tradition.

The location of the villa is also unique: it grants a strong sense of privacy and allows its guests to enjoy a real natural and regenerating experience. At the same time the strategic position - just 9 km from Lucca city - allows guests to visit all the beautiful cities and places of Tuscany (and also outside Tuscany) with day trips.
