VILLA IL COLLE DI MORIANO 8

Toscana - Lucca - LUCCA

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only - CIR CODE: 046017LTN1931). This charming villa stands on the Lucca hills, in a beautiful panoramic position overlooking the plain of Lucca, with a breathtaking view that soars over the silver foliage of the typical olive trees up to the Monti Pisani. The villa is surrounded by a green lawn and a riot of multicoloured flowers and tree with various medicinal plants that will captivate you with their perfume. Not far from the villa is the blue pool with Roman steps where you can spend relaxing moments, sipping a cocktail at the poolside or lazing on the sunbeds in the solarium. The villa, tastefully restored by the owner, combines comfort and elegant furnishings with a touch of sobriety. It is full of particular nooks and crannies, made with the best materials of Tuscan tradition such as ceilings with wooden beams and tiles, terracotta floors and a stone fireplace. The two-floor structure has air-conditioned bedrooms overlooking the garden, refined living areas, a splendid Tuscan-style kitchen, a portico on the side of the pool with the outdoor dining area, barbecue and seating area overlooking the pool surrounded by greenery. The strategic position of this property allows you to get in a very short time to main tourist destinations such as Lucca, Pisa, Montecatini Terme, Florence and Siena as well as the Tyrrhenian coast with the renowned golden beaches of Versilia and its pearl, Forte dei Marmi. The villa is in an excellent position to reach the centre of Lucca with its well-known walls which, by renting a bike, you can ride along experiencing an emotion of times past. For those just wanting to relax, the large garden has many cosy set-up areas where you can relax in contact with nature, enjoying its unique relaxing atmosphere or admiring the many species of flowers for which the area is famous. For wellness fanatics, about 45 minutes away is Grotta Giusti with thermal baths in a cave or Montecatini Terme, renowned for its healing waters.

VILLA IL COLLE DI MORIANO HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

The villa has two floors: on the ground floor, coming in from the parking area, you go into the entrance hall with, on the left, the TV room and then on to the dining room with an ornamental Tuscan fireplace and to the typical, fully-equipped kitchen with shelves in Carrara marble, both with access to the portico. Also on the ground floor is a shower bathroom and the laundry in the room next to the kitchen. Going up the first flight of stairs you come to the mezzanine floor with an elegant sitting room with ornamental fireplace and then, continuing up the stairs to the first floor, you come to a reading area with a small sofa and the sleeping area with two twin bedrooms, two double bedrooms, a bathroom with shower and a bathroom with tub.

Park:

Villa Il Colle di Moriano is surrounded by a garden of 2000 sq m, completely bordered along the perimeter by lush hedges to guarantee privacy but without depriving you of the view over the beautiful hilly landscape on the south side of the property. After the automatic entrance gate, a gravel road adorned with rocks and hydrangeas takes you to the parking area located conveniently close to the entrance of the villa. From here you are welcomed by a triumph of colours: flowerbeds, bushes of Mediterranean herbs, cypresses and olive trees typical of the Lucca area. Completing all this is a beautiful lawn with a lovely, fully-equipped swimming pool. On the north side of the villa is the spacious shady portico, communicating with the kitchen and set up for unforgettable meals plus a brick-built barbecue. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

The swimming pool lies surrounded by greenery, offering guests a unique view of the rolling hills typical of the Lucca area. Located at the back of the property, a few metres from the house, it is reached across the lawn. Rectangular-shaped, it measures 6 x 12 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m and has Roman steps for access to the water. Lined in blue Sardinia PVC with a terracotta edge, it has salt purification. The wooden perimetral solarium is equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas.The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.

TO DO

Location and distances


The property is only a few kilometres (14 km) from the beautiful city of Lucca that has much to offer tourists. The city can easily be visited on foot or by bike, both because of its small size and because of the large pedestrian area in the centre. There are many places to visit, particularly worthy of mention are the walls, the ideal place to enjoy a walk in any season, the Piazza Anfiteatro, famous for its elliptical shape, and Torre Guinigi, crowned by an old holm oak. Just outside Lucca, about 10 km away, are splendid villas including Villa Reale, Villa Mansi and Villa Torrigiani. In the surrounding area are many places of both artistic and naturalistic importance: the Garfagnana, the Plain of Lucca, the Serchio Valley. For those who want to combine the beauty of the landscape with pleasant days by the sea, the coast of Versilia with famous localities like Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and Marina di Pietrasanta is only a few kilometres away. The villa is also a good starting point for visiting the famous Cinque terre

Donatella, Roberto, and Rita's greeting was truly one of the loveliest parts of our trip. They were so warm and welcoming and we could not believe that they'd laid out a gorgeous table of treats for us (including olive oil from their own grove). Their generosity and kindness were the perfect start to our holiday. Villa Il Colle Di Moriano really was like a dream and we still miss our "Lucca life." We were two families a four with four children between us and the villa gave us more than enough s

It’s a live house and not just a rented property. Small details are very nice and you can see how the owners care for it. Love the varanda leading to the garden and the pool just across. Also great to have to separate varandas both super pleasant. The bbq is very well located and allows for outdoor dining every night.
