Giannello

This lovely stone-built farmhouse located in a beautiful position, in the hills of Lucca near the village Matraia. From the house there are breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside of olive groves and vineyards, as far as the town of Lucca in the distance. This part of the Luccan countryside is famous for its beautiful historical villas. In particular, very close to Giannello is the Villa Reale, where Giuseppina is Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister Duchess of Lucca resided. The villa, with its beautiful gardens is open to the public several days a week. Giannello is a very special property for six people. It has just been tastefully restored in a nice rustic style, still maintaining the old beamed ceilings and antique terracotta floors in most of the rooms. A particular feature is on the big terrace in front of the house, ideal for eating in beautiful surroundings.
