AboutTheExperience
This ancient structure near the lemon garden has been transformed into a rental villa in Tuscany. Here you will find yourself in a kind of heaven on earth, in elegant but rustic accommodations, surrounded by gardens and beautiful outdoor dining areas. You won't even have to worry about cooking, because this villa in Tuscany comes with its own chef. Within easy driving distance of Lucca, Pisa, and the Coast.
LocationDescription
Set in the lush Tuscan countryside, this estate is situated in the charming village of Vorno, a picturesque and historically aristocratic town at the foot of Monte Zano near the larger town of Lucca. In Vorno, you will find a restaurant, a grocery store, and a bar, while the more cosmopolitan Lucca offers a wealth of museums and restaurants. Founded in 180 BC, Lucca is still surrounded by the old city walls, built to keep out invaders. Inside the walls you can visit the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, Piazza Napoleone, and Torre Guinigi, or treat yourself to some great shopping. The estate is about a ten minute drive from Lucca, a 30 minute drive from Pisa, and approximately one hour from Florence.

ExteriorDescription
(100 m2) This villa rests within a walled Tuscan estate of over seven acres and is one of three independent houses. The villa is located within the south-facing lemon garden of the main villa. On sunny days you can dine "al fresco" in the garden, surrounded by the scent of lemon trees and enjoying panoramic views of Monte Zano and the charming farmhouses and olive groves on the hill. A stone-columned pergola situated across from the limonaia creates a haven for relaxing, reading or simply enjoying a glass of wine. This villa has a small private swimming pool (8m x 5m) and has access to the tennis court of the main villa by appointment.
InteriorDescription
(300 m2) This elegant six bedroom building has graceful wood-beamed ceilings and is located across the south-facing lemon garden of the main villa. It has been sympathetically restored with respect for the existing architecture, while creating luxurious, modern accommodations for guests. The limonaia has been converted to create a magnificent open-plan demonstration kitchen and dining room (seats 16), and also houses an ancient wine press and fully stocked wine-tasting room. Both the dining room and the drawing room have beautiful old Tuscan fireplaces. The six bedrooms all have luxury 180 cm king-size beds and ensuite bathrooms with sink, toilet, tub, and showers in marble tile. All bedrooms have wood beamed ceilings and are furnished and decorated to a high specification, including antique furniture. The state-of-the-art fully equipped kitchen has all the amenities, including stove, oven, and microwave.

Questions and Answers From Our Clients

Q: Villa Santa Caterina - We are looking to rent this Villa in July. Which house does the pool go with?
Thanks
Deb
A: Our Tuscany experience at Villa Caterina was absolutely heaven. The property is beautiful, the rooms divine but it is the staff that tended to our every need that made this vacation most memorable. There was a question about which pool was designated just for Santa Caterina while we were there. It was one of the smaller pools but lovely and close to that villa. The biggest pool was for the largest villa but management arranged for some of us to use it when the largest villa guests were not swimming there. I hope this answers your question.
