Short Info
About
‘Il Borghino’ is part of an old hamlet, originally occupied by farmers and now completely renovated and converted in an exclusive and ‘unique’ property.
It is situated in a beautiful position on the hillside north west of Lucca, south-facing, with brathtaking views on Lucca, the rolling slopes and the valley. The location can not be better: just in the middle of its own estate, with terraced groves dotted with olive trees and vineyards. Some of the best wines and olive oil of the entire region come from this Farm.
The property has been faitfully restored, respecting the ancient character and charme of the original farmhouse and at the same time adding quality and comfort with some restored ‘antiques’ furnitures and the newest equipment. An example of this nice fusion of ‘old’ and ‘new’ is the very well-equipped kitched, which opens to a terrace with beautiful views, ideal for ‘al fresco’ dining, to the garden and to the spectacular swimming pool, really the proudness of the owner.
The property consists of three different houses:
IL MELOGRANO, I NESPOLI, Il GELSO.

COMMON AREA, SPA & GYM, POOL
A very special feature of this villa is the extraordinary common space wing that frames the beautiful swimming pool. Two massive wooden doors open to a vast room that would be perfect for a large gathering or celebration, or perhaps a seminar or workshop. To the left of the entry doors there is a wood-burning pizza oven. A dining-living area with kitchen, just opening onto the pool area, is available for our guests.
A large gym and exercise room complex is located one level beneath the gathering room. The exercise room has hardwood floors, gym equipment and the surprising feature of two large windows that look directly into the pool! Just off this large room is a spa complex featuring a turkish steam room and hydro-showers.
The outside area surrounding the pool has been thoughtfully arranged to maximize the space and the spectacular view over the Lucca valley. In addition to the woodburning pizza oven and barbeque area, there is plenty of space for outdoor dining.
