Country house near Lucca - etia no.: 160

description:

Huge farmhouse near which has been recently totally restored to a very high standard. The discerning British owners, who have been guests themselves at properties in Tuscany for years, have carefully taken into consideration their past experience and furnished the house with all the comforts they were expecting and rarely found in a rental property. The result is a property restored in total respect of the Tuscan tradition with beamed ceilings, antique cotto floor and washed colours-decor yet at the same time equipped with all modern amenities. All bedrooms are air-conditioned and have en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is an impressive combination of high tech with Bulthaup appliances and traditional Aga oven cooker. Despite being very close to Lucca - the town centre is only 8 kms away - it is located in a very quiet setting, inside the "Nottolini park" .The area takes its name from the famous architect who built the neoclassical monumental aqueduct that runs along the boundary of the estate and is popular with those who love walking and jogging in a quiet and historical surrounding. A particular feature of this country house is the unusually large - 20 x 5 meters- infinity swimming pool plastered in grey with blue reflexes totally fenced for children's safety. The photos were taken in summer 2007 before the landscaping was completed and do not do any justice to the beauty of the garden and pool area. Thank you for not smoking in this house!
