Villa Ramnali is a modern home located in the outskirts of the walled-city of Lucca. Ideally situated, the house is a short drive from the rolling Tuscan hills yet so close to city life in Lucca meaning you can have the best of both worlds on your holiday to Villa Ramnali.
This two-bedroom end-of-terrace home with spacious living areas and a charming garden can sleep up to seven guests and is, therefore, a great holiday home for a family or a group of friends. The ground floor is a bright, open-plan space with comfy sofas, a well-equipped kitchen and doors opening out to the garden whilst upstairs one of the two inviting bedrooms has access to a relaxing upper terrace. There’s a homely ambience throughout as well as a feeling of light and space.
The lovely enclosed garden with a private pool and plenty of outdoor seating is an oasis just outside of the city and is a great place to while away the days together in the Italian sunshine.
The main draw of Villa Ramnali is, of course, its enviable location just a stone’s throw from the Renaissance city of Lucca, just 2.5km away. Lucca is one of Tuscany’s best-loved cities and there is so much to see and do there for everyone. A great starting point when visiting Lucca is to see the breathtaking cathedral which originates in the 11th Century. For a city of a hundred churches, this is a good one to explore first! The walls of the city are also a joy to walk or cycle around and maybe you could stop off at the gorgeous botanical gardens to rest during your stroll. There is so much to do in Lucca that you could surely fill each day of your holiday in the city alone and with the number of amazing shops and eateries, ranging from traditional family-run trattorias to chic restaurants, you will never get bored of the local culture and cuisine.
If you wish to take a day trip to explore more of Tuscany, then you could either drive or pop on the train to the wonderful city of Pisa (20km away) which is famous for its tower but is packed with museums, galleries and great shopping streets too! The coastal town of Viareggio is also within easy reach at just 25km from the house, the town has wonderful sandy beaches for you to enjoy but also has sunny promenades filled with shops and ice-cream parlours for a traditional seaside day out Tuscan style.
What you should know…
- The villa sleeps four people in two bedrooms plus an extra three guests using a sofa-bed on the ground floor and an additional single bed upstairs
- The city of Lucca is within cycling distance (2.5km) and is served well by public transport (there’s a train station 3km away) meaning a car is not essential unless you wish to visit some of the smaller villages and countryside
- Wi-Fi is included – up to a maximum of 3 GB per week

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa RamnaliVilla Ramnali is well located for you to enjoy the best Tuscany has to offer as it is surrounded by little villages, historical towns, lively cities, countryside and the coast, meaning you can sample different aspects of the region each day during your trip.
An end-of-terrace house, Villa Ramnali is in a semi-residential location near the countryside with restaurants and shops, including a supermarket, within walking distance or a short drive. There are bus stops nearby and Lucca train station is just 3km away.
The closest place to the villa is the city of Lucca (2.5km) which is filled with things to see and do. Aside from the city walls and the many churches and eateries on offer in Lucca, make time to visit the museum in honour of the composer Giacomo Puccini if you have an interest in opera music or if you just enjoy a visit to a historical house. While looking around the winding streets of Lucca you can also stop off for a bite to eat and try some Tortelli Lucchese which is a local filled pasta. As well as scrumptious food, Tuscany is, of course, well-known for some amazing wine and while in Lucca you can book a walking tour which gives you insight into the city but also the local wines which you can sample along the walk with a variety of aperitivi.
Outside of spending time in Lucca, you are well located to visit the spectacular cities of Florence and Pisa which are both under an hour and a half away. Pisa is just 20km from Villa Ramnali and can be reached by car or train. Here you can walk along the Arno river and visit the lovely Piazza dei Miracoli where you can marvel at the baptistery and cathedral. Or if heading a little further out to Florence (80km) you can set off early to beat the queues to the famous Uffizi Gallery or the Galleria dell'Accademia di Firenze where you can view Michelangelo’s David. Finish of your trip to Florence by relaxing in the Piazza della Signoria which is packed with great places to eat.

When you wish to visit the beach, you could drive the 30km to Viareggio which has a wealth of beaches with beautiful waters for little ones to paddle. From certain beaches, you can take a boat trip which the whole family can enjoy or the older children can try a variety of water sports. Viareggio is also home to a wonderful carnival which is held on four Sundays before Lent occurs, the carnival features amazing floats which have dancers and musical accompaniments which children will love.
Another great day out for younger children is the Parco di Pinocchio (20km) which is a park based around the famous story of Pinocchio, pack a picnic and spend a day stepping into the fairytale with the kids! The park is full of sculptures which relate to the tale but it is also a lovely leafy place to spend some time together.
