	Villa Buonvisi is set among three hundred acres of vineyards, olive trees and woods. The owners produce wine and olive oil and offer their guests incomparable hospitality. Although the setting feels rural, the location is convenient, just four kilometers from Lucca and within walking distance of a small village. There is a bus stop just across from the entrance to the property, along with one of our favorite Italian coffee bars and gelaterie. A tennis club and a small golf course can be found nearby. Lucca is famous for its tree-topped medieval walls, a peaceful promenade where people stroll and bicycle. Lucca's streets are lined with elegant shops and charming restaurants, and an outstanding antiques market is held on the last weekend of each month. Some of Italy's finest villas and gardens, many of which are open to the public, are in the surrounding hills. Explore the medieval hill towns of Tuscany, each with its own unique personality. Hike in the Cinqueterre, visit the white marble quarries of Carrara, or relax at a nearby thermal spa. Lucca is just 60 minutes from Florence, 30 minutes from Pisa, and 20 minutes from the chic beaches of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi. Villa Buonvisi is a 500-year old villa renovated to a very high level of beauty and comfort. The vaulted stone ceiling of the cellar gives evidence of its history and of the original 12th-century tower that stood here before the villa was built. Villa Buonvisi has been mentioned in Condé Nast Traveler and is a perfect setting for a wedding or gathering of family and friends who are looking for an authentic experience in beautiful surroundings.
