VILLA BORBONE in Pieve Santo Stefano, a Luxury Renaissance Panoramic 9 Bedrooms Retreat Villa with Private Pool
Welcome to Villa Borbone, a place where simple moments become your everlasting memories.
Idyllically serene with spellbinding views towards the old town of Lucca, the hills and the coast on the background, this is your safe retreat, your own oasis of calm at this portion of renovated Renaissance Villa dating back to 1400s by the village of Pieve Santo Stefano. Hop in for a quick lap and then fix yourself a snack in the summer kitchen in the shaded pool house. Then, wander through fragrant gardens and olive groves before heading out to dinner at the local bespoke restaurant Vipore for a traditional Tuscan dinner, just 2 kilometres away.
Situated on 1 hectare of private, expertly manicured lawns, Villa Borbone is split between the Main House (Despite the neighbours live in the adjacent part, privacy is granted as they have their own entrance on the opposite side of the villa.), Pool House, and The Suite House. Stone walkways and lush lawns connect each separate building, adding an extra touch of privacy to the estate. Inside, stretch out on the sofa by the wood-burning fireplace, get creative in the chef’s kitchen, and pamper yourself among history.
Villa Borbone comes with a private parking and 2 kitchens in addition to 3 secluded outdoor living areas. Stir up a few cocktails and gather in the outdoor lounge, enjoying the countryside scenery as the sun sets.
Lucca is an incredible place to eat and drink, so work up an appetite by hiking through Tenuta di Forci, the natural reserve where the villa sets among. Most trails lead to scenic lookouts over vineyards and the sea in the distance with the Tuscan Island Archipelago, so make sure to bring a camera.
The bedrooms are all air conditioned (except the bedroom in the lower ground floor which is built in an ancient cave so it results very cool during the warmer months).
Despite the neighbours live in the adjacent part, privacy is granted as they have their own entrance on the opposite side of the villa.

We stayed at this villa for family birthday party.The villa is lovely but you do need a car and very small roads but once you’re there it’s beautiful.I must say our villa manager ( Elena ) was amazing and was so helpful.There are a few things that need upgrading like washing machine and one of the dishwashers wasn’t working plus wifi wasn’t great but the rest was so good you could overlook this.Overall I would recommend this villa.Thank you villa Borbone for making our family holiday very memorable.

Villa Borbone was exactly as it is portrayed on the listing - spacious, elegant, well-maintained and with a breathtaking view of the Tuscan countryside. Our checkin process with Elia was seamless - she is friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with. All the rooms are lovely as pictured, and our group of 11 have so many great memories spent together in the back yard overlooking the valley, in the other common rooms.
There are a very few maintenance issues that Elia will relay to the owners, which I'm sure will be quickly resolved (main dishwasher, dish towels, coffee maker),
The drive up to the villa from downtown Lucca is quite windy and steep with switchbacks, especially at the end, so be prepared. But the view is worth the trek!
