Description Tuscan Villa Dream: Capannori

Set within lush private gardens just beyond the ancient ramparts of Lucca, this 17th-century mansion is a regal base for group stays. We imagine days here will be spent drifting between alfresco breakfasts, cooling swims and evenings gathered in the lush garden. Inside, historic details dial up the luxury, while outside, you have plenty of space to unwind under the wide-open Tuscan skies. When you're ready to explore, Lucca is just five minutes away, too.

Home truths:
*There is a private chef who will cook breakfast, as well as one other meal a day – either lunch or dinner.
*Mid-week linen change and daily cleaning is included.
*There is an unfenced pond on the grounds – little ones should be monitored at all times.
