Cascine-La Croce Villas with Pool
Description
Vacation rental Bettina is a lovely stone building (215 sq m) that includes private pool, air conditioning and internet. The property can sleep up to ten people comfortably in four bedrooms with three bathrooms. Bettina is located 3 km (2 mi) from Vicopelago, Italy and only 7 km (4 mi) from Lucca.
A couple of meters of the access road to the property (between 2 stone walls) becomes very narrow and is, therefore, not suitable for large vehicles.
The house can be rented in 2 different versions:
- max number of persons version: 8+1 persons, i.e. the whole house with total 4 bedrooms is at the guests' disposal.
- max number of persons version: 6+1 persons, i.e. there are 3 bedrooms at the guests' disposal, this means that the 4th bedroom, on the lower floor, next to the oil press is NOT at the guests' disposal.
The rental price changes due to the number of people.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled just outside the renowned town of Montecatini Terme, in a serene and unspoiled corner of Tuscany, Italy, Villa Elisa stands as a prestigious stately home offering an exceptional vacation rental experience rooted in the finest traditions of the region. Situated on the edge of the Padule di Fucecchio, a protected wildlife area near Fucecchio, and embraced by the gentle contours of the surrounding Tuscan hills, this magnificent property invites you to immerse yourself in an atmosphere of timeless elegance and natural beauty. The structure, already documented in 17th-century maps drawn up by the Medici family, has been meticulously restored and furnished with authentic Tuscan materials, including the terracotta of Impruneta, ceilings with beams, joists and tiles in terracotta, and the majolica of Montelupo, all harmonized with warm hues that evoke the very soul of Tuscany. The attentive work of the architect has seamlessly combined the historicity of the building with the comfort of an elegant and fully equipped retreat. The property is set within an expansive 8,000 sq m flat green lawn, completely fenced-in and bordered by hedges of laurel, offering a private and lush yard where guests can wander freely among multicoloured floral essences, bushes of herbs, antique terracotta pots with beautiful geraniums, tall poplars, and broad-canopied pines. Ultra-fast fiber optic Wi-Fi with an external repeater to cover part of the garden ensures seamless Internet connectivity throughout your stay. A private parking area is available on site, conveniently located adjacent to the tennis court and swimming pool. The private tennis court, covered in PVC resin and equipped with night lighting, a practice wall, and 4 tennis rackets, adds a distinguished recreational dimension to this already remarkable estate.

Set in a breathtaking panoramic position overlooking the plain of Lucca, the property commands sweeping views across the silver foliage of ancient olive trees all the way to the Monti Pisani. The villa's two-floor structure has been lovingly restored by its owner, combining refined furnishings with a touch of sobriety and incorporating the finest materials of Tuscan tradition, including ceilings with wooden beams and tiles, terracotta floors, and a stone fireplace. The result is a home full of particular nooks and crannies that exude warmth and authenticity. Guests benefit from a private parking area conveniently located close to the entrance, accessed via an automatic gate and a gravel road adorned with rocks and hydrangeas.

Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Il Colle di Moriano are nothing short of spectacular, offering a rich variety of environments in which to relax, dine, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Tuscan countryside. The garden of 2,000 sq m is a riot of multicoloured flowers, flowerbeds, bushes of Mediterranean herbs, cypresses, and olive trees typical of the Lucca area, all framed by lush perimeter hedges that create a sense of seclusion without compromising the panoramic views to the south. Various medicinal plants are scattered throughout the grounds, captivating guests with their fragrance, and numerous cosy set-up areas invite you to unwind in direct contact with nature.
