Stunning Catered Villas property, infinity pool and garden, Lucca area, Tuscany

'Burlamacchi Villas' is a complex of 2 luxury CATERED villas -'San Francesco' and 'Casa Burlamacchi'- rented as a unique property with private pool, both completely restored in 2009 and 2020/21, which date back respectively to XIX and XV century. The complex, together with a small amount of nearby houses and villas, lay on an enjoyable and privileged position, within easy reach of the town centre of Bagni di Lucca (5 minutes walk), where a good number of shops, bars, and restaurants can be found. The local Spa resorts are situated at a short distance from the Villa (1 km), and are reachable by car or a leisurely walk in the green.
Immersed in a typical Tuscan landscape, sleeps up to 28 people in the summer and 21 during the winter, and it is an ideal destination for those looking for a relaxing holiday amongst serene surroundings with culture and other diversions close to hand.

THE VILLAS
Rented as a unique complex of catered villas, they are both three-floor constructions for a total of 800 square meters. There is a professional kitchen where the chef will prepare you typical Tuscan and Italian meals, and an equipped kitchen on guests availability for snacks and drinks and some common areas in four living-rooms.
The bedrooms -5 double king size, 1 double queen size +single, 4 twins/double king size and 1 family suite king+twins/double king size- are all with ensuite new bathrooms.

The interiors, accurately and elegantly redecorated with XVIII and XIX century furniture, are typical of the residences of the region of Lucca. The precious and light fabrics, the meticulous attention for details, and interior lighting make all the environments very warm, cozy and comfortable.
In the summer the Villas are cool inside even in the hottest days, but on the top floors -the most warm area- there is air-condition; during the winter, their efficient heating system guarantees the residents comfortable and pleasant stays.

GARDEN
'Villa San Francesco' and the back of 'Casa Burlamacchi' face the garden, which is spacious with a fabulous view towards the Tuscan valley and mountains. There is rich vegetation in the meadow and big ancient earthenware basins with flowers. The range opposite the villa is large, both with areas exposed to the sun and areas hidden in the shadow. There is a big table with chairs and various pieces of garden furniture made of wood and wrought iron. The place is most suitable for resting, reading or talking in the shades of secular trees. It’s also perfect for having a typical Tuscany dinner during a cool refreshing evening. Adjacent to the villas, running down along the hillside, there is a vast area of private terraced gardens leading to a small forest. Here and there one can find ancient stones and marble garden seats, rose bushes and other scented flowers. Our villa is an ideal place both for those who search for peace and intimacy within the luxurious building immersed in green foliage as well as for families with children who can play freely in a natural and well protected environment.
Everyone will enjoy a refreshing jump in the pool, which is 10x5x1,5mt, beautifully decorated with mosaico tales and surrounded by two old big Carrara marble bath tubes original from the ancient spa.

Best Family Vacation Ever
We had the most amazing family vacation! The property was just perfect for our group of 17. We loved hanging out at the beautiful pool and chilling under the covered outdoor bar area. The house itself was amazing and everyone loved having there own bathroom! Francesca was amazing! She helped us set up some amazing excursions and responded quickly to any questions we had. We opted to have the house chef cook for us on 3 nights and I would highly recommend that! The food was amazing!!!!!!!!! I would highly recommend this property the beauty of the area was amazing and it was a short drive to many beautiful places. We hope to return!

Fantastic family reunion for Dad's 80th
We spent a magnificent week with 17 family members ranging in age from 16 to 80. We opted for fully catered - an excellent choice! Francesca and her team of chef, sommelier and staff welcomed us warmly and provided excellent dining, wine and service all week long. They were attentive to details while making us feel perfectly at home, and also attentive to any food needs for members of our group. All bedrooms are spacious, comfortable and decorated beautifully, and with in suite bathrooms. Our family will have memories to last us forever - if you are looking for a place to create memories and also a base from which to explore northern Tuscany, Villa Burlamacchi is for you! Thank you Francesca!

Burlamacchi Villas is a FIVE-STAR PLUS, PLUS, PLUS
I rented Bulamacchi Villa for a surprise birthday party for my husband's 70th birthday. Our children and their families joined in planning the surprise and arrived at the Villa early to hang the Buon Compleanno signs. In total, we were a group of 12. The stay exceeded our expectations. Francesca and her amazing staff helped us create a family memory that will live for generations. From the amazing views to the extraordinary dinners prepared by Chef and wine served each evening outside, the experience was unforgettable. Our family stayed at the Villa for a week. Francesca helped me arrange daily activities for the family, from a day trip to the Cinque Terre to a pasta-making class on-site, and more, Francesca was the perfect host. The property itself is stunning, all of the bedrooms are tastefully furnished, with comfortable beds and en-suite bathrooms. The outdoor area, pool, and bar created the perfect backdrop for our family to gather for cocktails before dinner each evening. If you have a group and want to create an Italian experience that will build lifetime memories, I highly recommend Bulamacchi Villas. My family is already asking when we can go back!

Amazing vacation
Two families, (13 of us) one week,. This property is spectacular. Recently renovated the rooms, bathrooms are beautiful. Francesca looked after us, from meals to vineyards to dinners out, trust her recommendations. We needed babysitting and drivers, she was on it. With an honor system bar we enjoyed our time relaxing around the pool. This is a full service property, feels like your own private resort. We greatly hope to be back in the near future.

Words are really not enough to describe the setting and beauty of this property. Starting with Francesca, the owner, and her warm, charming, and humorous personality all was perfect for our 3 week stay. Do not hesitate to rent this property and explore the area of Lucca. You will be charmed and stimulated by the people and their love of life. Go for it and return home with memories of a lifetime!!

Great family holiday in spacious and historic villa with luxury trappings
Set in beautiful grounds high up above Bagni di Lucca, Villa San Francesco was the perfect location for a family holiday. Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by the captivating views from the garden across the hills and the wonderful infinity pool, where we would spend many happy hours during the week. The interior is equally stunning, set out across three floors and providing plenty of cool spaces to retreat during the hot days and very comfortable bedrooms/bathrooms. The villa is perfect for al fresco meals, though make sure you bring adequate protection from the mozzies! With Francesca's help we uncovered some of the villa's history; it has an interesting past with previous occupants of local and international renown. The many books and pictures around the property provide great character and a sense of its past glories. Bagni di Lucca is actually separated into 3 villages, the largest of which sits below the villa and within easy walking distance. The main supermarket is well stocked and there are a few good places to eat, though nothing really special. You need a car or catch a bus to get to the railway station. We had a great day out in the historic town of Lucca, which is only a 30 minute train ride. This family holiday - we were joined by our 3 adult children and their partners - will live long in the memory.

Just Stunning
The Villa was just beyond all our expectations, the history of Villa San Francesco and the people whom have lived there is very impressive. The rooms, the beautiful furnishings, the stunning gardens which are so well looked after and the very impressive infinity pool. This is by far the best place to stay when visiting Tuscany, With Lucca a half hour drive away, viarggio beach an hour away and the beautiful city of Florence just over an hour away, this is by far the perfect location!!!!!!! & i very much look forward to my next visit to this beautiful villa and the beautiful village of bagni di lucca. The owner Francesca is very friendly and always available if there are any questions that you may have, she goes out her way to make you feel very welcome, so thank you so much Francesca & i can not wait to book with you again in the future. Truely my favourite place Kindest regards Peta & family x x x x

A Fabulous Tuscan Holiday
We stayed at the Villa San Francesco for two weeks in July and August and had a wonderful, wonderful time. The Villa is in a stunning location in Bagni di Lucca and is immaculately maintained and extraordinarily comfortable. The pool was refreshing, the rooms are comfortable, spacious and elegant. The owners could not have been more helpful and accommodating. This was a fabulous holiday which we shall remember forever - we cannot recommend Villa San Francesco too highly.

So much beauty and history
We so much enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, but most of all the tranquility and grander of the mansion. It has such intricate details in decoration, landscaping, architecture. If you are visiting, make sure you read the book authored by the owner about the history of the villa. The owners were very helpful with getting settled in. They are very 'sympatico' and discrete. Make sure you spend some time in the town itself, as it has great historic architecture and an idyllic lifestyle to offer. Thank you so much for sharing your gem with us. Love, Tom and Aleks
