Borgo Bernardini-Villa 106-Luxury Villa Rental in Tuscany

Borgo Bernardini, a little hamlet tucked away amongst the gently folding Lucchese hills, is a gracious and luxurious Tuscan retreat.

In the 1700’s Count Cosimo Bernardini created a haven in the hills around his walled city of Lucca. Since then and throughout time Borgo Bernardini has been a Tuscan retreat of princely pleasures and grand gatherings. With luxury guest accommodations as well as a brigade of enthusiastic and professional staff at hand

Originally a wild boar hunting lodge, it was extended in the early 1800 to become a small village for the workers on the estate which was then owned by Count Cosimo Bernardini. Today, its restoration has accentuated the values of space and setting - inner courtyards, softly lit old walls, rambling and enchanted silence….a genuine time forgotten atmosphere immersed in a splendid aristocratic estate of weeping willows, fountains and formal gardens. A place for gatherings and a place for solitude, Borgo Bernardini is a home of such beauty, tranquility, and comfort that you will find hard to leave.

Fully air conditioned, Borgo Bernardini has twelve individually styled double bedrooms, all with modern en-suite baths. The gracious living overflows into the many reception rooms - the magnificent banquet hall, the formal living room with views across the peschiera, the card and billiard room, and the domed music room. With a brigade of domestic staff at hand, and a chef to tempt you with the many delights of the Tuscan table, halcyon days await you..

Borgo Bernardini is set in an area of outstanding beauty, yet within easy reach of Tuscany's finest cities, historical towns and medieval villages. The area is the quintessence of everything that is enchanting about Italy - the vast and varied scenery, the food and fine wine, the culture, art and history, the hilltop villages, narrow cobbled streets, grand piazzas, the passionate people. Discover the splendors of renaissance Florence with Giotto;s tower, the Ponte Vecchio, and Piazza dei Signori, trundle the winding roads through Chianti that lead to Siena, the walled town of Monteriggioni, and the towering landscape of San Gimignano, adventure through the cliff clinging village of Cinque Terre, or simply loose yourself to Lucca.

Nearby are tennis facilities, riding and a golf driving range; or an 18 hole course at Montecatini or Versilia.
