Monte Marlia
Elegant country style interiors. Private swimming pool in very panoramic spot. South facing. Set in a panoramic position, with far reaching views and amongst silvery olive groves, just above the village of Marlia north east of Lucca, this stylish property has been sensitively restored and decorated with great visual flair to offer most comfortable and inviting holiday accommodation. On the ground floor there is a sunny and spacious sitting room, decorated in an elegant, yet rustic style with country furniture and colour washed walls painted in warm tones of golden yellow with a crimson border. The adjacent kitchen with a dining area has stylish appliances set into the work surfaces. At first floor level, there is a second sunny sitting room with pretty colour washed walls and sofas and chairs upholstered with smart fabrics in rich warm colours. One twin bedroom with a four-poster bed and a second spacious twin with gorgeous wrought iron bedsteads share a shower room. The stylish third twin bedroom, decorated in blue, has an en suite bathroom with roll top bath.
A few steep steps lead up to the second floor where there is a double bedroom suite with shower room, sitting room and kitchenette, ideal for breakfast in bed! The property is set amongst attractive gardens comprising lawns and beds of rosemary, lavender, sage, thyme and agaves. Steps lead down from a lawned terrace to a further panoramic lawned terrace with the new swimming pool and pergola. The views from Montevigna and the swimming pool area over olive groves and the surrounding glorious countryside, with Villa Reale and Villa Grabau, two historic villas clearly visible in the valley below, are quite magnificent. The lawn and terrace areas are the perfect spot to enjoy drinks and candelit dinners, just soaking up the views. This stylish property is perfect for three couples travelling together or for parents with older children. Montevigna is also within easy reach of one of Italy's greatest gardens - Villa Garzoni at Collodi, Lucca is within 15 minutes drive
