Villa Anticiana, just a short distance from the beautiful city of Lucca, is immersed in the green of a large wood that surrounds the entire property. The villa stands in the small borgo of Monsagrati, where you can admire the old Romanesque church of San Giovanni Battista, built in 1102. The villa has two floors and is an old 18th century country house recently restructured by the owners into a modern Tuscan rustic home, where the characteristic elements of this style are the terracotta floors and the ceiling with exposed wooden beams. The villa is composed of 4 bedrooms with private bathroom and air conditioning (one of the double bedrooms on the first floor also has a fan), a cosy dining room and a modern, well-equipped kitchen, both leading to the external living area, and a living room with TV and fireplace. In the garden is a living area with dining table and the swimming pool. Completing the property is a small annex with the laundry area. Then there is the large park where you can relax and enjoy the quiet of the place or play on the mini volleyball court at your disposal. Surrounding the property is a large wooded area with many paths for walking or hiking.

Villa Anticiana has two floors. On the ground floor the main entrance leads into a large open-plan entrance hall with the dining room leading out to the external living area.

A small relaxation corner with armchairs completes the kitchen. To the left of the entrance is a small living room with fireplace, sofa and TV.

Each bedroom, on both the ground and the first floor, is equipped with a double USB port at the headboard of the bed. Air conditioning in the bedrooms.
Park:
The huge park surrounding the villa extends over 4 hectares of terrain, completely fenced and accessible. As soon as you are past the first gate leading to the property, you are immediately immersed in a vast wooded area, which accompanies you along the entire driveway to the villa. The woods are full of oaks, junipers, ferns and cyclamen which can also be seen while walking around the villa. Once you get to the second access gate, you find yourself in the peaceful garden around the villa, with varied vegetation and flowering plants, such as roses and gardenias, which lend a beautiful touch of colour to the surrounding greenery. Welcoming you to the villa is a beautiful wisteria-covered pergola located just above the main entrance. In the park are many little corners that can be used in different ways: a beautiful nymphaeum created in an antique tub that receives water from the adjacent spring and a gym/yoga area, next to the woods about 50 m from the house, or the lovely external lounge area under a veranda where you can chat or lose yourself in a book. You can also enjoy excellent outdoor meals in the cosy dining area at the living room exit where, in addition to the excellent food, you will also enjoy the coolness of summer evenings. The three bedrooms with direct access to the garden have at their disposal a relaxation area with umbrellas, tables and deck chairs, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the property. The park is completed by an orchard with assorted seasonal fruit, such as apples, cherries, apricots and plums, and an area with aromatic herbs available to guests. In the park is also a small annex with the laundry room which is reached up a few stone steps. The parking area is located on the left at the end of the driveway, where you will also find an EV charging point.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
