Close to enchanting Lucca, one of the most beautiful Italian art cities, and in a very quiet secluded area just outside the village of Capannori, stands Villa Leone, a prestigious home ready to welcome you and offer the best of Tuscan hospitality.
The structure, dating back to the 1920s, magnificently renovated and recently furnished in exclusive style and elegance, is composed of a main, three-storey house and an annex, both equipped with extremely high quality services and amenities. In addition to the villa is a magnificent colourful garden with various set-up areas for outdoor living, a swimming pool, a barbecue area and a play area for fun and games: all within a beautiful panoramic frame swathed in olive groves and vineyards.
Setting off from this secluded residence, just a few kilometres from the spa resorts that have brought international renown and prestige to the entire area (Montecatini and Monsummano Terme), you can embark on some of the most beautiful itineraries that the region offers, thanks to the proximity to the A11motorway (ten minutes away) that will take you to the main cities of Tuscany, such as Florence, Pistoia, Lucca and Pisa, as well as to the region of the Garfagnana, the green heart of Tuscany, and to the beautiful beaches (blue flag) of the Versilia coast in about half an hour. Along the beautiful roads of the “Wine Route of the Hills of Lucca and Montecarlo”, furthermore, you can visit several farms where you can taste the typical food and wine products of the area.
The villa has three floors with the first two connected by both internal and external staircases. The main entrance on the ground floor leads into a sitting room communicating on the left with a double bedroom (with direct access to the outside via a French window) and on the right with a bathroom with tub. A stone staircase leads up to the first floor consisting of a large living area with kitchen, dining table and seating area with sofas and satellite TV.
The living room on the ground floor also opens on an additional room with fireplace. Two French windows lead out to the porch which has a staircase leading down to the ground floor. The kitchen leads out to a terrace for outdoor meals. Also on the first floor is a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower, a single bedroom and a double bedroom sharing a bathroom with tub and, finally, a guest bathroom with laundry area.
The top floor, which is reached by the last flight of stairs, consists of a double bedroom and a twin bedroom served by a bathroom with shower and, finally, a single bedroom served by a bathroom with tub.
Villa Leone is surrounded by a very well-kept park of 3,500 m, completely fenced in and bounded along the perimeter with hedge screens that guarantee privacy without impeding the view over the beautiful rolling hills covered in olive groves and vineyards. Just past the main entrance gate into the property is a parking area situated conveniently close to the building entrances. You will be welcomed by the wonder of a triumphantly colourful garden: bushes of Mediterranean herbs, potted plants, cypresses, pines and olive trees demarcate the large areas of paving or lawn in the centre of which lies a lovely pool with an outdoor lounge area and a play area with a children’s swing and slide, a ping pong table.
If you wish to eat outdoors, you can sit under the gazebo set up with table and benches and a barbecue.
The annex, located at about 30 m from the villa, spreads on one floor and it is composed of: open space with living room and bar corner, double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with jacuzzi and shower and another room with pool table and fitness area.
The swimming pool, open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday, lying within a green panoramic setting, is located on one side of the garden, just a few metres from both the house and annex. Rectangular in shape with a stone border, it is lined in PVC and access to the water is via 3 external steps or two metal ladders.
The pool measures 12 x 6 m with the depth varying from 1.10 to 1.70 m. The large solarium area, paved in stone and illuminated at night, is equipped with sunbeds, a sitting area and a gazebo with table and chairs.
