About this property

A corner of paradise in the Tuscan countryside, just outside medieval Lucca.

Villa Chiara is the independent end-portion of a recently renovated typical Tuscany "casale" (villa), located on a hill in the beautiful countryside, about 4. 5 km from the medieval walls of the city of Lucca. This surrounding is extremely quiet and out of noisy touristic paths.
The whole villa is located in the middle of a 30,000sqm green area with a large shared swimming pool and private parking for your car.
The house (about 100sqm) is very bright but fresh, with refined country-chic furniture, and is divided into two floors with an internal staircase.
The ground floor (about 50sqm) is composed of:
a large living room (with color TV),
a dining area (fully equipped for 10 persons),
a kitchen (fully equipped, with gas burner, oven, espresso coffee machines, etc.),
a bathroom (with shower, toilet, bidet, washbasin, hairdryer, etc.).
The upper floor (about 50sqm) is composed of:
two bedrooms, one (about 25sqm) with a king size bed, the second (about 17sqm) with a queen size bed,
a bathroom (with shower, toilet, bidet, washbasin, hairdryer, etc.),
a small corridor.
The house heating is automatically controlled according to your desire.
The private garden (about 350sqm), with direct entrance from the living room, has sunshine light almost all day long. It is equipped with teak-wood furniture to eat outside under a shady gazebo covering the whole external dining area, besides a relaxation area under a large sun umbrella.
Guests are welcome in the house, in the private garden, in the whole green space, and in the swimming pool area.

Rural holiday home
We loved our stay at Villa Chiara, a rural location, a short drive to Lucca and further afield to other Tuscan villages and the coast. The villa is very comfortable and well equipped, the house is part of a small complex with its own well established private garden and shared pool - all well maintained. Very much like the photos. We would definitely recommend Villa Chiara for a relaxing holiday and location to visit the area. Thank you to Carlo and to Ingrid for sharing a wonderful holiday home.

Beautiful place to stay in the Tuscan countryside
We had a fantastic holiday in this beautiful property. It is in a great location; quiet, peaceful gorgeous scenery in the background. Lucca (which is a great place to visit) is just 15 minutes away, Pisa is 30 minutes and Florence is only a 1 1/4 hour drive away. We had some fabulous meals at the hotel which is a 10 mins walk away. And the property itself is terrific. Beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable, it had every facility we need or wanted during our stay. The pool communal and gardens are also lovely (and we often had the pool to ourselves during our 10 day stay). We enjoyed eating and relaxing in our spacious private garden. A special mention for Ingrid, who was extremely helpful during our stay and had lots of good tips. My family of four, with two children aged 11 and 13, loved our stay. Highly recommended.

Lovely villa and stay
Family stayed at the villa for a week in July ‘23. Very enjoyable week. What struck us is that Villa C in reality is very much as advertised. Clean, tidy, light and airy. The pool is close by and the dedicated pool beds was a real plus. Short drive to Lucca. Also nice and accessible paths for walks/runs down along the river
