Villa Raffaelli is an original Tuscany villa from 1582. The place has been inhabited for centuries and is the most authentic experience you can ask for. Let yourself be enchanted by this holiday villa that still preserves its ancient essence. Price includes costs for the heating and standard cleaning service. The villa offers a well equipped kitchen, three bedrooms with standard double beds, four single beds, four bathrooms equipped with shower and bidet. Villa Raffaelli, in the proximity of the famous walled city of Lucca, is located in the green valley of Garfagnana: a region in the north Tuscany famous for its pristine greenery, full of small villages perched on the slopes of the mountains. You will enjoy a large outdoor swimming pool and a heated jacuzzi covered by a large see-through glass bubble. On request it is also possible to follow a wellness program for the care of your body and spirit. Trekking, e-biking, canyoning and lots of other experiences are also waiting for you. Not enough? Enjoy our cooking classes and other activities! Within easy reach are: Lucca (35 km), Versilia (60 km), Pisa (40km), Florence (100km), Cinque Terre, Carrara marble quarries.
Leonardo is in love with the land where he lives: a valley located in the northern Tuscany not far from Lucca and Pisa, the so-called Garfagnana. He used to live at Villa Raffaelli and he will be able to illustrate in great detail the villa, it’s history and the green valley where it is located.
The valley of Garfagnana offers you endless possibilities for outdoor activities: trekking, e-biking, canyoning and lots of other experiences are waiting for you. Come and discover the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, the Mount Pania with the famous Dead Man Mountain (Omo Morto), the Monte Forato (one of the few and biggest natural arches in Italy) and the Mount Croce, or just come and visit the most characteristic villages and have a look at the enchanting Verrucole Fortress, with it’s historic museum. You will be able to visit and see: medieval fortresses - enchanting villages - a famous ghost town flooded by a lake - breathtaking views on the Apennines - amazing lakes - a famous cave full of stalactites and stalagmites - Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
