Albergo Villa Casanova Lucca

Part traditional Tuscan country house, part luxury resort, part intimate boutique hotel, Villa Casanova offers the finest hospitality and a beautiful setting, in the countryside just outside the ancient medieval city of Lucca. Featuring a clever combination of classic Italian elegance and traditional Tuscan country charm, the hotel is the result of the masterly restoration of an 18th century manor house, a chapel and a number of out buildings.

Spacious, light-filled bedrooms, elegant living rooms and sumptuous bathrooms make each and every one of Villa Casanova's 14 suites the perfect Tuscan country retreat. Parquet floors, furnishings made by local artisans and four poster beds in hand crafted wood or wrought iron, recreate the typical atmosphere of an elegant country home. All rooms look out over the garden surrounding the hotel. Eight suites have their own private terrace or balcony.

At Villa Casanova's restaurant guests are presented with exciting seasonal menus featuring the best local cuisine, prepared using the area's highly prized game meats, mushrooms, truffles and the property's own extra virgin olive oil. Meals are accompanied by a selection of excellent Tuscan wines. Guests wishing to dine in the privacy of their own suite or in the garden can request the services of a personal waiter. With its elegant dining room, terraces, garden and small private chapel, Villa Casanova provides the perfect location for an intimate wedding ceremony and reception.

Whilst staying at Villa Casanova guests have every opportunity to explore the Tuscan countryside, walking through the 360acre wood surrounding the hotel or heading off through the valley of Lucca, where to visit the tower of Castello Nozzano or Torre del Lago, where, each year, a festival is held in honor of the famous Lucca-born composer, Giacomo Puccini. Those wishing to relax in the grounds of the hotel, are likely to spend much of the day bathing in the sunshine by Villa Casanova's attractive infinity swimming pool.

Three good reasons

1. An elegant boutique hotel just beyond the ancient city of Lucca.
2. The peace of the Tuscan countryside in a 360 acre park.
3. Typical local cuisine featuring game, truffles and Tuscany's highly prized wines
