About this villa rental
Welcome to Villa Borbone, a place where simple moments become your everlasting memories.
Idyllically serene with spellbinding views towards the old town of Lucca, the hills and the coast on the background, this is your safe retreat, your own oasis of calm at this portion of renovated Renaissance Villa dating back to 1400s by the village of Pieve Santo Stefano. Hop in for a quick lap and then fix yourself a snack in the summer kitchen in the shaded pool house. Then, wander through fragrant gardens and olive groves before heading out to dinner at the local bespoke restaurant Vipore for a traditional Tuscan dinner, just 2 kilometres away.
Situated on 1 hectare of private, expertly manicured lawns, Villa Borbone is split between the Main House, Pool House, and The Suite House. Stone walkways and lush lawns connect each separate building, adding an extra touch of privacy to the estate. Inside, stretch out on the sofa by the wood-burning fireplace, get creative in the chef’s kitchen, and pamper yourself among history.
Villa Borbone comes with a private parking and 2 kitchens in addition to 3 secluded outdoor living areas. Stir up a few cocktails and gather in the outdoor lounge, enjoying the countryside scenery as the sun sets.
Lucca is an incredible place to eat and drink, so work up an appetite by hiking through Tenuta di Forci, the natural reserve where the villa sets among. Most trails lead to scenic lookouts over vineyards and the sea in the distance with the Tuscan Island Archipelago, so make sure to bring a camera.
Despite the neighbours live in the adjacent part, privacy is granted as they have their own entrance on the opposite side of the villa and no access to the pool area.
Be aware that no events or parties are allowed at this property.

Lovely house and lovely surroundings. We were a group of 14 women who stayed at the villa in September. The villa looks exactly like the pictures and the host was super nice and helpful. We all truly recommend this wonderful place! We would recommend renting a car/going by car since the villa is located on the countryside. The only feedback we could give to the owner/host is that it would be very helpful to have a list in English of the recycling rules (garbage) because it was very hard to understand the Italian one that was at the house. Other than that, everything was perfect including the WiFi, pool, beddings etc. Bath towels were also included which is also a huge plus.

The villa is very pretty and so spacious. It fit our group of 14 with no problem. The pool is great for a relaxing day or to cool off after being out. The main house has two separate upstairs areas of 3 bedrooms each, which worked great for our group of 3 families along with the two detached buildings and the cellar bedroom.
Our host was very responsive and so helpful with everything.
We had a chef come to prepare dinner on our arrival night, and she and her husband were spectacular. The dinner was amazing, and she even brought prepared foods for us on a second night because it was challenging for our whole group to get to dinner. There are two large outdoor tables that were so nice for dinner.
To note: It is very important to have a car rental as recommended, which we did not because we thought taxiing would be easier. As it turns out, the driveway to the villa is quite precarious as other reviewers have stated and we had a hard time finding a taxi who would go all the way up to the house, or even accept the ride. We ended up meeting them at the bottom of the driveway and having them drop us off there also. And even then it was 70-80 Euro for one car each way. The driveway is .4 miles long and all uphill. A best car would be something either small (there are hairpin turns) or rugged. Having the freedom to explore town without the hassle of the taxis would have been better for us, but that is our own fault because that was the recommendation.
A written history of the house would be great to include in the home. One can only imagine what those walls have seen with the age of the house!

We had a fantastic week at Villa Borbone celebrating my birthday with a group of 16 friends and family. The description of the villa accommodation and amenities are meticulously accurate. Our host (Elena) was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. A previous review mentioned issues with cats and old furnishings, but we did not encounter problems with either. Highly recommend for a dreamy and authentic gathering to share with loved ones in Tuscany.
