Villa Sortes is nestled in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by countryside and idyllic Italian villages, close to notable cities such as Florence and Pisa. The unique home is part of a large estate with several other villas.
Spread over two floors, the spacious home has four individual entrances. Elegantly furnished, there are seven bedrooms, each with a unique design and colour scheme, five of which have their own en-suite bathroom for maximum privacy. In one of the suites, you’ll also find a sitting area, while many bathrooms are equipped with baths, inviting you for a pampering soak at the end of the day.
Downstairs, guests can use one of the two living rooms and relax in front of the fireplace. Dinners can be served in the ornate dining room decorated with Rococo furnishings and display cabinets, with doors opening to the stunning garden.
Outside, the large swimming pool is the perfect place to spend an afternoon taking refreshing dips in an ancient garden surrounded by magnolias, cypress and pine trees. When you find a quiet spot on the terrace, enjoy the spectacular views of the Lucca Valley below while sipping on a crisp wine, most likely produced in one of the nearby vineyards.
The Lucca Valley proposes numerous opportunities for fun holiday exploration in nature. The nearby villages of Valgiano, San Pietro Marcigliano, Batano and Segromigno are great for recharging your batteries over a plate of pasta or pizza after a long day spent travelling up and down the region.
Alternatively, enjoy a scenic 20-minute drive to Lucca, the closest city. Positioned near the Ligurian Sea and an excellent stop on your way to the coast, it used to be the home of famous Italian opera composer Puccini and has a well-preserved historic centre boasting many cobbled squares, Romanesque churches and historic fortifications.
