Positioned high amongst the olive groves that blanket the hills between Lucca and the Versilia coast, Villa La Sorgente is a beautifully restored Tuscan retreat that combines authentic character with refined comfort. Enjoying a truly panoramic setting, the villa captures spectacular views across valleys, woodlands and rolling countryside, creating an atmosphere of peace and complete escape from the moment of arrival.
Originally an olive mill and agricultural barn, the property has been transformed into an elegant country residence while carefully preserving its traditional Tuscan soul. Stone façades, terraced gardens and timeless architectural details blend effortlessly with modern comforts, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply connected to its surroundings.
The villa has been thoughtfully designed for larger families and groups of friends, with six air-conditioned bedrooms, each benefiting from its own en-suite bathroom. Multiple reception rooms and outdoor living spaces provide an excellent balance between social gathering areas and quieter corners for relaxation, allowing guests to enjoy both privacy and togetherness throughout their stay.
Outside, beautifully landscaped gardens cascade around the property, creating a collection of terraces and secluded seating areas from which to enjoy the exceptional views. At the centre of the grounds sits the villa's private saltwater swimming pool, perfectly positioned to capture the surrounding scenery. The fenced design makes it particularly well suited to families travelling with children, while the gentle saltwater filtration system provides a more natural swimming experience.
