Villa Frantoio-Villa 108-Luxury Villa Rental in Tuscany

IL FRANTOIO is part of an estate with 4 luxury holiday houses, each with its swimmingpool, set in an area of outstanding beauty yet each is 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 hill top villages, narrow cobbled streets, grand piazzas and the passionate people

An original olive press on this estate at one time used by the villagers of Vorno, Il Frantoio is still today surrounded by beautiful terraced olive groves. Its recent restoration has turned it into a charming and comfortable home with views looking out across the swimming pool towards the distant walled city of Lucca.
Il Frantoio is fully heated and air-conditioned and comprises, on the ground floor, a main entrance-hall and staircase, a homely and fully equipped Tuscan kitchen and breakfast room, a spacious lounge with comfortable sofas and armchairs, music system, satellite TV as well as a desk area with computer, printer, fax, telephone and internet facilities.

On the first floor there are four spacious and well appointed guestrooms each with modern en-suite bath and shower facilities for up to eight guests. Discover the splendours of renaissance Florence with Giotto's Tower, the Ponte Vecchio and Piazza dei Signori, trundle the winding roads through Chianti country that lead to magical Siena, the walled town of Monteriggioni and the towering landscape of San Gimignano, adventure through the dramatic cliff-clinging villages of the Cinque Terre or simply loose yourself to Lucca. Year round, there's always something going on.

The Leaning Tower of PISA (30 minutes away) has recently opened to the public - it is stunningly set in an open lawned piazza which also houses the Cathedral, Baptistery and Campo Santo Cemetery.
A 40 minute drive will take you to the little port and town of LERICI overlooked by a cliff top castle from where boats leave every hour to PORTOVENERE and the World Heritage site of the CINQUE TERRE - five dramatically cliff clinging villages.

Such serene surroundings belie excellent international access with Pisa airport and train station just 30 minutes away, Florence airport and train station under an hour's drive and Lucca train station only 10 minutes away.
There are two main highways close by - the A11 to Florence, leading on to Rome, Bologna, Verona and Venice and the A12 to Genova and Livorno, leading on to Milan, the South of France and Montecarlo.

The price includes breakfast, daily maid service, linen change twice a week, heating and A/C. Telephone is for extra, as on meter. A professional cook is available for extra, for dinner or lunch.
