Picturesque 3 bedroom villa, located between Lucca and Pisa, with private pool.

This attractive old villa, located just 10km from Lucca, built in the 1700s as a farmhouse, has belonged for generations to the same family, who at the beginning of the 80s undertook a radical renovation of the house, transforming it into a wonderful, modern and comfortable home. It is surrounded by a huge stretch of woods: and from its windows and from the garden you'llenjoy amazing views through the green pine trees, the chestnut trees, the acacias and the olive trees which make up the woods. The woods are made up of a diverse fauna rich in foxes, wild boar, porcupines, badgers, weasels and squirrels.

The interior of Villa Pietra Verde has been furnished with taste, with antique pieces from the Tuscan tradition. On the ground floor the ceilings have old beams, the floor is covered with antique terracotta bricks, and the outside walls are one metre thick at the base, which keeps the interior cool.

Outside the villa, there is an original wood-burning oven from the 1700s, where you can cook bread and pizzas and there are many areas for enjoying the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere: the balcony opposite the veranda with table and sunshade - an ideal spot for breakfast - and the splendid private swimming-pool (12m x 6m), with a large chestnut tree on one side, which offers a cool, shady area furnished with a table and chairs and a changing-room.

A large pergola covered with a vine is on the other side towards the house, suited to al fresco dining, and there is also an outdoor shower and WC, a large barbecue and a kitchen equipped with oven, hob and fridge, complete with all the equipment you need for preparing lunches and dinners around the pool.  From the swimming pool, a short path through the woods leads to a little cascade down a brook, among the ferns and chestnut trees, a cool oasis even on the hottest days.

Villa Pietra Verde is equipped with modern conveniences such as WIFI, air conditioning, dishwasher, statellite TV and parking is available for your use.
