Overview

Perched high on the hillside, with a drive up which is not for the faint-hearted, Villa Panorama offers breath-taking views of the surrounding area, Lucca and Valdinievole. With a lovely stone exterior, it has been beautifully renovated, and extended, by its owners and offers a high standard of spacious and very comfortable accommodation on two levels, with beautiful beamed ceilings and terracotta tiled floors. On the ground floor is the living/dining and kitchen area and a stone staircase leads to the first floor where the bedrooms are located. The grounds of Villa Panorama cover approximately 3000 square metres and they are set across various levels, laid to lawn with flowering shrubs and ornamental plants. Off the kitchen, there is a lovely veranda, with table and chairs, and a barbecue, for outdoor dining. The swimming pool is set approximately 40 metres from the property and is on a higher level, accessed by a pathway and 2 flights of steps, 46 in total. The swimming pool is salt-water and there is a children’s section adjoining the main section of the pool. The solarium area, around the pool, is paved and has many types of plants and flowers and is furnished with sunbeds, sun loungers and umbrellas. There is also a gazebo ideal for enjoying a refreshing drink while taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding area.
