Villonica, a manor villa, is located in a beautiful panoramic position, on high hills, 400 mt u.s.l.
It overlooks all over the plain of Lucca, with the view rolling down from the hills to the faraway mountains separating the plain from the sea.
The villa and the estate date back to 1600, the estate was composed of the villa and several farm houses where the farming people used to live while farming the land.
The main crops were, and still are, olive oil and wine. All these valuable crops, as it was used in the old days, were kept in the cellar of the villa, where the old big wine barrels are still existing.
In the lawn, in front of the Villa, as testimony of the old work, there are big stone wheels, which were used for oil pressing, moved by farm animals (donkeys, horses etc).
The villa has been carefully restored by the present owners, maintaining the old structure and atmosphere, giving again life to the property as a farm producing wine and the famous Lucca olive oil.
The villa has been restored with taste and care for all the details, and very well equipped with all modern comforts.
It is decorated with period antique pieces of furniture, canopied beds, marble bathrooms combining old style with modern touches and comfort.
The view from the villa is outstanding, over the plain and the hills covered in wood and olives trees, down to the Lucca plain, and, beyond the mountains, down to the sea.
In the clear days it is possible to see the isle of Gorgona, far away in the Mediterranean sea.
