Description

Villa Raffaelli was a medieval fortress from the year 1000 until in1582, it became a magnificent villa and the country home of the Raffaellis, a nobile family from Lucca. Situated in the small mountain village of Fosciandora, Tuscany it overlooks the village and the Serchio valley and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Apuane mountains. Settled in 200,000 sqm of private grounds which include vines and an old farmhouse that needs restoring, the villa boasts an Italian garden and a domed hot tub as well as a swimming pool and a lemon house, stables and even a secret garden! Most of the 800sqm villa was restored around 2010 and at the moment it is composed of 6 bedrooms which depict the original style with four-poster beds and 4 bathrooms, a library, a music room, sitting rooms and kitchens. With further renovation work the number of rooms can be increased. Villa Raffaelli is the perfect place to soak up the calm and quiet of rural Tuscany. The frescoed vaulted ceilings, the cool floors and the sounds and fragrances of this historical villa invite you in and make you feel at home. Villa Rafaelli is only a short drive away from the spa town of Bagni di Lucca and the medieval village of Barga and is 40 minutes from the Roman walled town of Lucca. Florence and the other major cities of interest in Tuscany are easy to reach from the villa as are Forte dei Marmi and the beaches. Contact +39 340 33 49 897 Email: info@ilpuntoluxury.com
