Lucca is renown for its history as well as its closeness to high mountains and the Mediterranean sea. At crucial geographical crossroads, Lucca had a significant role at all times in history. Well known to Julius-Ceasar, vital for the traveling of pilgrims to Rome from France, Lucca always fought successfully for its independence. The intact walls around the city offer you a magical bike stroll and, give you a perspective of what is to come once you emmerge in its historical roads. The character of this small city is well preserved by the absence of cars and its lively atmosphere; from open markets to the same cafés where Giacomo Puccini would spend afternoons with his illustrious friends. Lucca is famous for its leather-shoes shops and great Tuscan cuisine. The villa is surrounded by other historical villas from the 14th century on, which are open for visits. However, if you prefer, you can explore wilder itineraries, and stop at exquisite home-style restaurants.

From the Guest Book:: Thank you for letting us stay at your Villa. We truly enjoyed dining under the olive trees, with good cheese and sipping your red wine. Refreshing in the pool was great during the hot hours, and enjoyed visiting the nearby towns in the evenings. Do we really need to leave? ...Oh well... To next year :)

Magnificent Gianello

Butternut Campton, NH
Review Submitted: March 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
Three friends and I spent 7 wonderful days at this wonderful Villa in the quaint and ancient town of Matraia. The description was completely accurate and the pictures do not justify the beauty of this special villa. The house itself is magnificently preserved with 16th century beams, huge wine barrels and even the original paint color of the walls such as turquoise blues and peach. Although the kitchen has a cozy fireplace with views of the grand size pool and Lucca beyond, we ended up spending most of our time in the relaxing and breathtaking wine cellar lounge area. Outside we spent many a night swimming under the stars and having great food and wine under the canopy overlooking Lucca. During the day we took our road bikes right from the front door and explored the many small towns and churches in the mountains of Martraia including the original town of Pinocchio. Other days, we took day trips to the beach, Florence, Lucca and Cinque Terre that are all easily accessible.
We have referred several friends since our stay and all fell in love with the magic of Gianello.
