Villa Irene is located near Montecarlo di Lucca, a small medieval town on the rolling hills of Lucca, covered with olive trees and vineyards. Montecarlo is a typical borgo a few kilometres from Lucca, located in a strategic position for exploring the surrounding area or for visiting Florence, Pisa or the Versilia coast with its golden beaches and renowned nightlife. The villa has been tastefully restored by the owners with the typical materials of Tuscan tradition such as the floors in travertine or wood in the bedrooms, in stone and terracotta. The villa enjoys a panoramic position over the Val di Nievole, dotted with small villages that light up like a nativity scene at dusk. The villa is surrounded by a green lawn adorned with fruit trees and flowering areas as well as aromatic herbs ideal for preparing the typical dishes of Tuscan tradition. Within the park is the splendid swimming pool for the exclusive use of guests. The villa has two floors with, on the ground floor, the living areas with typical Tuscan kitchen and, on the top floor, the bedrooms with view. The strong points of the property are the set-up outdoor areas such as the panoramic terrace with a table for your evening meals and the external living area with shade sail. To one side is the portico next to the kitchen with a large table while a few metres away is the pool area equipped with comfortable sunbeds and gazebo with living area. A short distance away are the renowned spas of Montecatini Terme and Monsummano Terme with its famous Grotta Giusti. No less important is the proximity to the Chiesina Uzzanese exit of the A11 motorway which will take you to Lucca, Pisa, Forte dei Marmi and Florence, as well as to all the other well-known tourist destinations of Tuscany. For cycling fans, the property stands on the Biogiro circuit, a route that passes through the most important towns in the province of Lucca, designed by a world-famous Italian cyclist. The proximity to the town of Collodi, famous for the puppet, Pinocchio, will allow the kids to spend a day full of fun and entertainment in the theme park, following and reliving the tale of Pinocchio (www.pinocchio.it). N.B. The owners reside in the basement of the villa; however, the garden and swimming pool are for the exclusive use of the guests. It should be noted that the owners are very discreet and will respect your privacy but, if necessary, will be at your disposal for any eventuality.
