Holiday villas at Lucca

Villa Il Basso

Il Basso is a work of art that was no overnight success. For many years the owners have been refining and renovating this spacious rental into its present state: a classic Tuscan countryside residence. It has fabulous views looking west from Lucca looking on toward the mountains that separate Lucca from Puccini's Lake (Lago Massaciuccoli).

On a good day views of the sea, Pisa, Livorno and the small islands that rest off shore are in view. On all days the Wysteria covered pergola for al frescoe dining and the interior rooms of the rental are always popular. Il Basso is furnished with period Tuscan country antiques mixed with tasteful and very comfortable furnishings. Beds, chairs, tables, sofas - all are equal to the style of an owner with a good eye for design and taste.

Yet More: We have Milvia the maid cooking - who is also a fabulous country style cook - she is available for cooking one of her special dishes for you at 10 euro each plus food and wine. She does not stay on the property at night so she prepares the meal ahead of time and all you do is warm it and serve it. Buon Appetito.

There is also a non intrusive gardener taking care of the grounds.
