Villas in Lucca

Once called "the city of a hundred churches", because it seemed that there was a church on every corner, Lucca is now a nest of art, crafts and natural beauty of Tuscany. The Roman origins of Lucca are clearly evident in its architecture and especially in its urban planning: Piazza dell’Anfiteatro is the only oval shaped piazza in all of Italy and it is configured as such thanks to the remains of the Roman Amphitheatre around which several houses were built. The medieval walls of Lucca are also wonderful; it is pleasant to walk there on foot or by bicycle, or simply relax after a sightseeing tour of the city. The city of Lucca itself is fantastic as a destination for a holiday in Italy, especially if you decide to spend it on a luxury villa for rent, but, thanks to its location it is also the perfect starting point to visit most of Tuscany: it is near much to the sea, as to the mountains and national parks, as well as to the main roads that allow you to quickly reach the other cities in Tuscany. In the summer, in nearby Viareggio in Versilia, you can enjoy a boat trip to go see the dolphins, while in winter it is not far from some great ski resorts.
