Villan, byggd på 1870-talet, ligger på toppen av en kulle med utsikt över gröna fält och vingårdar mot söder och väster. På en fastighet på cirka sju tunnland erbjuder trädgården fullständig integritet och en mängd promenader och lugna platser.
Denna villa är inte bara en hyra plats, utan bostad för en tre generation familj, som har fyllt den med en omfattande samling böcker och texter. Det är ett unikt nöje att fördjupa sig i lugnet i denna kulturella oas, borta från höga folkmassor och vardagliga rörelser.
Bara tio minuter från centrum av Lucca är omgivningarna öppna jordbruksmark, skyddade av Kulturlandmärken kommissionen, med en kyrka på en högre kulle och gårdar och villor för att pricka landskapet. Området erbjuder det bästa av vad Toscana är känt och älskat för: ett oförglömligt landskap, en vacker medeltida stad full av konst och värdefulla butiker, sommarfestivaler med opera och konserter, fantastiska viner och naturligtvis kända och okända restauranger som kommer att ge bra glädje för dem som uppskattar de enkla och sofistikerade smakerna från det toskanska köket.

Truly Magical and Authentic
The property is like a manor estate, yet it is not cold in the least. It is a warm, welcoming home with plenty of space to gather either inside or out. The owner is a wonderfully interesting couple that are friendly and responsive. this is the third time we’ve rented homes for 3 weeks in Tuscany and this home was the best!

Beautiful family home and idyllic area
The property is stunning, grand with incredible views. Also the lovely fresh tomatoes from the garden were a lovely added extra. The pool really is exceptional and definitely the biggest I've ever hired, with Hockney views! The only reason for a star down was the cleaners and gardeners were there daily and were there unnecessarily for hours every day and overbearing (also the gardener turned sprinklers on guests by the pool). I would request the cleaners are there far less frequently from the outset.

Magical stay in the Tuscan hills near Lucca
Wonderful stay with my family in a charming historical home that is well taken care of and clearly lived in by its owners. If you wish to take a vacation that will transport you back in time yet still feel comfortable and cozy then you must consider the Bell'Estate. It has ample space for outdoor activities and lovely gardens to enjoy nature. You're also minutes away from the most enchanting town of Lucca. All ages will enjoy the villa. On top of that all the owner (Allesandra) is a joy and was super attentive to all our needs and more. I would definitely recommend it as a 10/10 experience.

Absolutely Unforgettable
What an amazing stay! Everything was perfect, in fact, better than we expected when my entire family of 16 stayed for a week in Lucca.
From the moment we were greeted to the post-cleanup (finding a number of things we left behind), the stay exceeded our expectations. I'm not sure how the place could be even better than the gorgeous pictures, but it is.
The highlight is the stunning, immaculately clean, gigantic pool. We stayed during a very hot week and I blame the beautiful pool for keeping us from touring more of the area.
However, even with the heat, the main areas of the house stayed cool and the bedrooms are air conditioned so we were all perfectly comfortable.
Communication with Alessandra was seamless and she not only answered our logistics questions but gave wonderful recommendations for food and coffee in the area as well as activities such as biking and wine tasting.
The cleaning each day was also such a welcome amenity. The house is truly spotless and that takes a lot of work.
The only downside is that now nothing will ever compare to this incredible holiday. I woke up every morning with a smile, hearing church bells, seeing the sun beam over Tuscany. It is truly magical and utterly unforgettable.

Amazing home away from home
This property is a classic Tuscan villa in the rolling hills outside the charming city of Lucca that we have used for family and friends on vacations and love more each passing year. It is spectacular, with large bedrooms, modern bathrooms, a recently renovated third floor, a sitting area with cool breezes for dining al fresco, and a large pool. This home is lovingly maintained and has been updated by the owner, who is a joy to deal with on every detail. Only minutes from Lucca, less than an hour from the coast, and a short drive or train ride to Florence, this villa is the perfect home away from home for your vacation. You will adore it.

Perfectly relaxing, great location, gorgeous views!!
This is our second time staying at Bell'Estate and it won't be our last. This is a beautifully maintained and wonderfully curated home. We are constantly impressed with all the little details (fully stocked kitchen, towels, sheets, books and maps on the area, etc) that make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The pool was incredible with gorgeous views of the countryside. Each morning we would enjoy a cup of coffee on the new patio and end the day with a glass of wine there too. We made great use of the well-stocked kitchen preparing meals that included tomatoes and herbs from the gardens. And the beds!!! The luxurious Italian bed linens were just to die for.
We really did have a wonderful time and truly can’t thank Alessandra enough! She goes above and beyond to make it a great vacation for her guests!

Our Magical Stay at Bell’ Estate in Lucca
There are truly no words to describe how special the two weeks were that we stayed at Bell’ Estate. We were celebrating a milestone birthday with 16 family members and all of us made memories for a lifetime. From my first communication with Alessandra, the process of booking the home, preparing for our trip and enjoying this beautiful space was a dream. The home itself has amazing history, charm and character, and offered our group all the space we needed to enjoy each other’s company without being underfoot. The pool and landscaping are unsurpassed, there are easy hikes from the home to explore the countryside and the proximity to Lucca enabled us to enjoy that beautiful city everyday. But we were always eager to get back to the lively Bell’ Estate. I left a little piece of my heart there!

SIMPLY STUNNING!!
We spent 5 days in this beautiful villa located in the countryside outside of Lucca. We where a party of 10 adults and six kids: the villa is large and housed us comfortably. The mood is very special. Classic, elegant and authentic. The house is impeccably kept, and is clearly looked after with great care. We all had the feeling we where getting the real Tuscan experience. We naturally all gravitated twards the kitchen, which even if slightly smaller than most of the rooms in the house, is homey and well equipped. Having a chef in our midst contributed of course. Our other favorite spot is the top floor with its gigantic fireplace, and I mean the thing is huge. Sipping wine late at night by the fire after a day of walking the crowds of Lucca Comics... priceless. We thoroughly enjoyed this house and plan on coming back. Highly recommended!!

A beautiful, large, traditional Italian estate in a great location
Bell 'Estate is a lovely, very large, traditional Italian home.....as other reviewers have noted, even more beautiful in the flesh than in the pictures.
If you're after a soulless, modern villa with every modern convenience, then maybe this isn't the right place for you. But if you want to experience living in a large house from La Belle Époque, then this is something very special. The house is full of the books and pictures that make it a 'lived in' family home. And there is sufficient space for a large group all to lose themselves in their own haven.
Inevitably in August a particular highlight was the private swimming pool, an extraordinary 25 metres and delightfully warm, in a quiet spot a little way away from the house.
The house is about a 15 min drive from the historic town of Lucca.
The owner, Alessandra, was extremely attentive in ensuring that everything was ready for us and everything was fine. Her sister, Sonia - an excellent cook - was able to prepare a couple of dinners for us, as well.
I would thoroughly recommend this house.....and we certainly hope to return ourselves one day.

Tuscany at its very best!!!
My wife and three other couples recently stayed at the fabulous estate outside of Lucca, in the Tuscan countryside. We are speechless. From an Olympic-sized swimming pool (which came in handy because of the high 90 degree heat), to sumptuous tree-lined grounds, a private entrance, and a 5 bedroom estate out of the 18th century......bellisimo!! We met Sonja, sister to the owner of the property, and she was wonderful, very helpful. Not only did she give us guidance on the neighboring area, she also cooked us a true Tuscan dinner on one night of our 7 night stay. It was spectacular, but then again, everything about this home was spectacular. There were really no negatives I can think of other than showers being a bit on the smaller size, but that pales in comparison to the beauty of this estate. Bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen is functional and outstanding, the WIFI worked well, and there are other rooms aplenty. We absolutely plan on staying here again!!

Magnificent property with stunning grounds and the quirks of an old house
Bell'Estate is an astonishingly beautiful place and when the sun shines one fully experiences the splendor of the property. The garden areas and pool are extraordinary and it feels as though a cinematographer might appear at any moment! The house is enormous and can comfortably accommodate large groups with no sense of crowding. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of good dishes, glasses and cutlery. It is a home that is lived in and loved, and nothing in it is of low quality. Bedrooms are very spacious, featuring stunning vistas; the five rooms we used had comfortably firm beds and all windows have screens.
It must be understood, though, that this is an old house and can be chilly and dark inside, which is an advantage in hot weather but not necessarily in cold or dank weather. There are "new house" people and "old house" people in the world and those who want a modern place might not be entirely comfortable. Those who love the individuality, history and charm of a quintessentially Italian home that evokes a bygone era, however, will think they have died and gone to heaven.

Klassisch toskanische Villa mit großem Pool
Unsere Familie hatte eine wunderbare Woche in Bell’Estate – eine klassisch toskanische Villa im besten Sinne mit Stil, Charme und schönen Bildern eingerichtet. Man spürt sofort, dass dies kein Mietobjekt für die Feriengäste ist, sondern vielmehr ein Haus, das auch von der Eigentümerin Alessandra und deren Familie bereits in zweiter Generation als italienischer Wohnsitz genutzt wird. Entsprechend liebevoll ist die Einrichtung des sehr großzügig geschnittenen Hauses. Highlight ist jedoch die Kombination aus Haus und Garten mit dem riesigen 25 m Pool mit Fernblick – wunderbar gefasst in grünem Serpentinstein und kleine Glasmosaikfliesen. Auch für die Kinder ist genügend Platz für Ballspiele und Tischtennis direkt am Haus.
Unser Lieblingsraum – auch zum ungestörten Arbeiten im Urlaub - war die gut bestückte Bibliothek. Auch in der kühleren Jahreszeit ist die Villa mit den drei offenen Kaminen sicherlich ein schönes Ziel. Besonders schön sind die keramischen Böden im Haus. Bell’Estate ist ideal gelegen um Ausflüge an die Küste, ins Landesinnere nach Florenz oder ins nahegelegene Pisa zu machen. Am schönsten für uns jedoch Lucca selbst – die komplett befestigte Stadt mit ihrer Vielzahl von Plätzen ist sehr einladend und überraschend vielseitig. Wir waren nun bereits das dritte Mal hier und kommen bestimmt wieder! Danke, Alessandra für die guten Hinweise und Tipps und Kompliment an Gärtner und Housekeeping die ganz unaufdringliche Betreuung vor Ort.

An absolute treasure
It's hard to put in words just how beautiful this house and its gardens were. It had such charm and warmth and history and we treasure our time spent there. We were there mid-April so the pool wasn't open yet, but it didn't matter. The Wisteria arch was in full bloom and it was gorgeous. There were 12 of us, ranging in age from 20 months to 71yrs. We had plenty of space for all to be together, but it was easy enough to find your own special cuby. The weather was gorgeous during the day and at night we were able to light a fire in the fireplace. It was convenient enough to go into Lucca (one of our favorite cities) and convenient for day trip to Cinque Terre, to Colle Verde organic vineyard and olive orchard, or other excursions. But we loved coming home to "Bell". Alessandra was so considerate and helpful, made sure we received information we would need. We had Sonia prepare dinner for us the first day we arrived and our last night there. Being at Bell Estate with my family will always remain one of my most treasured memories. It is more than just a beautiful house. The description by the person who wrote "Enchanting" review was spot on. I have only one regret - we weren't there long enough. I can't wait to return.

A fantastic house with history and style. Perfectly appointed for our family and friends.
Incredible private pool- 25 meters for real lap swimming. Really nice housekeeper. 5 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms in a real villa makes this a dream come true. Up a small road just outside of Lucca so you have privacy plus a he amenities of Lucca. Really a marvellous spot

Enchanting
This enchanting house is right out of a D.H. Lawrence novel. It's tucked on a tiny quiet road; a mossy stone marker inscribed 1892 greets you as you approach along the gravel drive.
The garden hosts majestic chestnut and cypress trees, with an arched tunnel of wisteria. Inhale the fragrance of lemon and olive trees or wander down the winding path lined with bamboo that leads to an very large private swimming pool nestled in a little valley. Swim and sunbathe in total privacy while across the valley you can glimpse a gorgeous old Tuscan chapel. The grounds of this property are delightful (mosquitos were a non-issue on my visit) and I recommend any guest take advantage of them.
Inside the house, admire the Carrara marble sink and matching kitchen table, and the elegant tile. Enjoy the incredible craftsmanship of the generous original windows. During our visit, I slept with them open each night to enjoy the August breezes and the songs of crickets. So peaceful!
Don’t expect electronically operated shutters or a TV in every room; this is not a high-tech house. But it has all the important comforts and amenities, such as a strong and reliable WiFi, and a wonderfully equipped kitchen for cooking and gathering with friends. If you're looking for the tranquility of the countryside, a spacious romantic garden in which to relax, socialize, and have your meals, and the genuine glamour of days gone by, don't miss this beautiful home.

Charming Historic Country House in Northern Tuscany
This lovely, elegant country house was a perfect base for our extended family's trip to Lucca and Northern Tuscany. We loved the way its historic details (e.g., carrara marble sink with brass fixtures in the kitchen, wooden shutters on windows, etc.) have been preserved carefully in renovations. Ten of us fit here comfortably in five bedrooms on the second floor. The 90' long pool offers total privacy. A well appointed kitchen and herb garden allowed us to prepare a wonderful meal that we ate outdoors on a long table under a large Linden tree. Lucca is a 10 minute drive away and worth several days of sightseeing. Florence is an hour away by car or train. Pisa and the beach resort Viareggio are closer. The touristy Tuscan hill towns south of Florence were too far out of reach, so we spent a day north of Lucca, heading toward the Alps, and discovered the beautiful, unspoiled tiny hill town of Castiglione di Garfagnana, about a 15 minute drive north of Castelnuovo, in terrain that is more verdant and lush rather than arid and brown. This villa is the perfect place for lovers of old houses in romantic, natural surroundings.
Om värden
Alessandra är värd
I grew up in this house, and no matter where I am, a big chunk of my heart resides here.
Varför värden valde detta boende
Bell'Estate is uniquely placed in the only rural area that has been preserved very close to Lucca. This area was saved by the presence of the river Serchio, which flows about half a mile from the house. Its flood plain is under environmental protection, so it can only be used for agriculture, not construction. So instead of having to drive through 8-10 miles of industrial areas before getting to the hills, as it happens to the East and North East of town, on our side you can go to Lucca for dinner with a short drive through beautiful cornfields and poplar groves.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
Aside from the beauty of the house itself, the expansive garden offers complete privacy from the outside world. It's an oasis of calm and greenery, with a pool that is so generous that most of our guests end up spending days there and never feel the need to go the beach (which is -in any case, only 25 minutes away).
