Description

Tenuta San Giovanni Lucca - Borgo Ai Rovai is a villa in the Lucca Hills, with an infinity pool overlooking the surrounding countryside.

Set 8.4 km from Lucca's historic centre, the property has a garden, sun terrace, barbecue facilities and free private parking. Guests can also use an open-air bath and solarium, while WiFi is free in the rooms. Olive groves and hillside views shape the rural setting, and visitors praise the quiet around the pool and the attentive host.

Accommodation comes as two self-contained villas: a 120 m² Two-Bedroom Villa for up to five people and a 250 m² Three-Bedroom Villa for up to six. Both have a kitchen, living area, private entrance, terrace and washing machine; their layouts and views differ. The smaller villa has two bathrooms and a dishwasher, while the larger has three bedrooms and one bathroom. Family accommodation, a children's playground and spacious group layouts make the property suitable for families and friends travelling together. Some visitors found the kitchen facilities dated, and reviews also mention challenging access roads.
