Highlights:

This outstanding villa, together with the adjacent farmhouse, has recently been restored to a very high standard. Both houses date from the 16th century, retaining all their historic features as a true Tuscan idyll. Nonetheless, sufficient cosiness and comfort, combined with modern technology has been introduced to satisfy almost every 21st century requirement, including a very well equipped kitchen and wi-fi internet connection. Also a computer is at clients disposal in the guest house. Villa Igea is ideal for discerning groups, who appreciate high quality comfort in a secluded environment. The property is set in a quiet location, high in the hills northwest of Lucca, with spectacular views over the surrounding scenery. A very well maintained garden encircles the house and a big centuries old oak tree provides a shady area, perfect for “al fresco” meals. The owners have kept two farmhouses on the same estate for their own use and for the use of the multilingual house manager, about 80 meters from the villa but in no way do they encroach on their client’s privacy. The property has its own olive grove, producing fine organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil under its own label.

BORGO BERNARDINI

Borgo Bernardini, a hamlet tucked away amid the gently folding hills near the town of Lucca, is a gracious and luxurious Tuscan retreat that is grand in style yet not overwhelming. Originally a lodge from which wild boar were hunted in the early 19th century, it was expanded into a small village for the workers of the estate of Count Cosimo Bernardini.
A modern restoration accentuated the values of the space and setting of its inner courtyards, softly lit old walls and enchanted silence. Inside there is a formal dining room, a kitchen for casual dining, a music room with fireplace, a card and full-size billiard room, as well as a fully equipped gym. A genuine time-forgotten atmosphere reigns as guests are immersed in an aristocratic ambiance of weeping willows, fountains and formal gardens.
Perfect for a gathering of family and friends, Borgo Bernardini is a home of such beauty, tranquillity and comfort that you will find it hard to leave.
