About this villa rental
The villa, built in the 1870s, sits on top of a hill overlooking green fields and vineyards towards the south and west. On a property of about seven acres, the garden offers complete privacy, and a variety of walks and quiet places.
This villa is not just a rental place, but the residence of a three generation family, who have filled it with an extensive collection of books and texts. It is a unique pleasure to immerse oneself in the quiet of this cultural oasis, away from loud crowds and everyday bustle.
Only ten minutes from the center of Lucca, the surroundings are open farmland, protected by the Cultural Landmarks Commission, with a church on a higher hill and farms and villas to dot the landscape. The area offers the best of what Tuscany is known and loved for: an unforgettable countryside, a beautiful medieval town full of art and precious boutiques, Summer festivals with opera and concerts, amazing wines, and of course renowned and unknown restaurants that will give great pleasure to those who appreciate the simple and sophisticated flavors of Tuscan cuisine.

We had a wonderful time at the Bell'Estate.It was such a perfect setting for a week with close friends to celebrate a 50th Birthday. Only recommendation would be to change the pillows!

Our large group with small children had a wonderful time at the villa. The pool is one of the largest I’ve seen at a private property and the grounds are large and great for kids. The villa has gorgeous views and feels secluded but is only about 10 minutes to Lucca centre by car. The bedrooms are large and comfortable and there are lots of bathrooms, handy for big groups. The daily cleaning was a nice touch, the cleaners were kind and unobtrusive to our stay. Overall we had a fantastic time and would come again!

The contact with Alessandra leading up to our stay was absolutely lovely—quick, pleasant, and full of helpful information. When we arrived, the house and its surroundings were even more beautiful than in the pictures! The home is truly the ultimate Tuscan dream. Alessandra has decorated it in such a warm and personal way, and she really makes you feel welcome in their home. It genuinely feels like you're living in Tuscany for a while.Swimming in the amazing 25-meter pool with views of the mountain peaks is a dream, and afterwards you can enjoy tomatoes fresh from the garden! In no time at all, you're in the charming and diverse town of Lucca, and the surrounding area is perfect for scenic walks. The housekeeping staff are very kind and discreet—you hardly notice they're there.The house and garden offer complete privacy, both from neighbors and within the house itself. The layout is spacious, yet the cozy shared spaces for dining, drinks, or relaxing make it easy and enjoyable to spend quality time together.If you're looking for a personal, authentic Tuscan home with all the comforts you could wish for, Alessandra’s place is simply perfect!

As soon as we arrived at Bell’Estate we knew we were in for a wonderful vacation. The setting of the villa and the surrounding gardens is breathtaking and absolutely private. The interior of the villa is stunning, tastefully furnished, welcoming, and never overwhelming. We – that’s my husband and I and our two children (1 & 3) - felt right at home and loved exploring the gorgeous rooms as well as the grounds.
The clear advantage of Bell’Estate over other vacation rentals we had used in the past is the fact that it is not a rental but a real home. I have never seen a better equipped kitchen with pots and pans in various sizes suitable for cooking for small or very large groups. For our meals we had the choice between breakfast room, formal dining room, eat-in kitchen or al fresco dining under the beautiful trees. Also on the ground floor is a very large living room with ample seating, as well as a beautiful study. The bedrooms are upstairs off a huge hall. Ours were very big with comfy beds. Our kids once slept till 9am – this alone is reason enough to come back.
An absolute highlight of the place is the gigantic swimming pool. It’s located on a large lawn below the villa with a great view too. It has a shallow part which is great for kids (or adults just wanting to hang out).
Even though the villa is in a rural area it’s only a stone throw away from Lucca. Lucca is a beautiful town with much fewer tourists than other Tuscan towns. We loved to stroll around town, explored little restaurants and enjoyed delicious meals and of course ice cream.
Thanks to Sonia for the warm welcome, Cinzia for all her help and of course Alessandra for opening up her home for others to enjoy.
