Villas with Pool

Location

The villa is part of an estate situated in Castelfranco di Sotto, halfway from Pisa and Lucca.

With Florence, Siena, Arezzo and Pisa, Lucca is one of the mayor Tuscan cities of art. In the past an important Latin colony, Lucca still features some elements that characterised the Roman towns, such as the elliptical form of Piazza dell'Anfiteatro and the plan based on two main perpendicular roads: the "cardo" and the "decumanum".

Lucca is renowned all over the world for its city walls, which were erected between the early 16th and the mid-17th century, and are considered some of the most well-preserved ones in Europe. Nowadays, they have been transformed into a charming promenade.

Because of the many buildings of worship it houses within its city walls, Lucca is also known as the "hundred-church town". The most important are the cathedral of San Martino and the churches of San Giovanni and Santa Reparata, San Michele in Foro and San Frediano.

Various events are held every year in Lucca. The most renowned are certainly Lucca Comics and Games, Italy's most important event dedicated to comic books, animation and gaming, and the Lucca Summer Festival, during which worldwide famous artists perform in the squares of the town.
