Casa Rosa

This lovely farmhouse is located in the Maulina hills, famous for their wine and also as one of the most exclusive residential areas around Lucca. It is situated on the same estate as Villa Clara, the villa on the facing page, and used to be one of the farmers' houses. It has been totally restored during 2001, using authentic materials such as beamed ceilings and terracotta floors, and the interiors have been decorated with old Tuscan furniture to preserve the old character. At the same time, it has been equipped with all modern comforts, each bedroom having its own bathroom. The garden and swimming pool have been positioned on the opposite side of Villa Clara to assure total privacy. The area is ideal for people looking for a quiet location, yet at same time wishing to be close to a town. In fact, the walled medieval town of Lucca is only 10 minutes away. Also, as it is only 6 km from the nearest motorway exit, it is an ideal base for visiting the main towns of Tuscany. There is a tennis club within walking distance of the house. Unfortunately, pictures were taken during the end of the restoration works and before the furnishing was completed, and therefore they do not do justice to the house.
