napoleone

Previously a majestic hunting lodge, this 16th-century large Tuscan villa has been transformed into a luxury holiday property for rent, preserving some of the old features and the authentic atmosphere while adding modern amenities to ensure the highest services are provided.
Set in the countryside, yet only 10 minutes drive from Lucca, Napoleone is surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees and is the ideal place for a vacation in Tuscany.
Napoleone boasts imposing facades and a beautiful loggia leading directly to the main living room, multiple living and dining areas and beautifully tended the garden for relaxation and quietness.
On the ground floor, guests will find the large living room where all the group can gather and share precious moments, an open plan country kitchen opening to a breakfast terrace, a social TV room with a study area. One of the twin bedrooms is also located here.
An impressive staircase leads to the first floor, where are the six bedrooms and another large open living room. The property also features a gym and a playroom for children.
Outdoor, the villa offers many things to do, not to mention the private swimming pool and the tennis court shared with nearby villa Elisa (also featured by Home in Italy). There are two covered areas by the pool and the outdoor cooking and dining area includes a pizza oven, a gas BBQ and a separate wood burning fire. There are magnificent views across the surrounding parkland of Napoleone, which is an intriguing, imposing and inimitable villa, a glorious house for special family reunions, combining innate elegance with an easy informality. Together with Elisa, the estate can accommodate up to 34 people, making it the idyllic setting for weddings, receptions, parties and special events. Next to villa Elisa and in front of Napoleone there is also a magical 16th-century chapel where it is possible to organize symbolic weddings or parties.
Napoleone is the ideal location to explore Tuscany: its central location allows guests to explore the numerous well-known sites of Tuscany such as Lucca, Florence, Pisa and Siena. It is also the ideal location from which to visit lesser-known, but worthy of exploration, places such as Pistoia, San Gimignano, San Miniato and Volterra. Whether you come in search of pure relaxation and rural charm or of an experience packed with local culture and tradition, you will fall in love with his villa!

notes
Napoleone and Elisa are separated by a countryside road which is not busy but it might be possible to hear car passing.

However, privacy is guaranteed.
