11th CENTURY VILLA, Stunning View & Pool, Unrivaled Private Setting near Lucca

VILLA SEGALE is an historical stone country house dating from the 11th century, strategically located on the charming hills above Lucca. Its privileged position allows his guests to discover all the most important areas of Tuscany and Liguria (Portofino and Cinque Terre).

*****THE VILLA*****

The villa, with its 450 SQUARE METERS, sleeps up to 12 PEOPLE and was beautifully restored according to the highest standard and comforts.
The ground floor is huge with a large entrance, a sitting room with fireplace, a formal dining room, a large fully fitted kitchen, a small study with a high definition satellite TV (with blu-ray player and a private movie collection), an elegant and cozy air-conditioned bedroom with joinable twin beds (if joined they form a comfortable queen bed), and a full bathroom. Two big panoramic verandas – the first one for dining, equipped with a stone BBQ and a spacious stone table, and the second one for relaxation, equipped with outdoor sofas – complete the ground floor.

On the first floor there are five air-conditioned bedrooms with en suite bathrooms: two of them are queen-bedded and are considered the magnificent master bedrooms; the other three bedrooms come with joinable twin beds (if joined they form a comfortable queen bed). All bedrooms are spacious with tasteful furnishing, ample wardrobe space and have large open windows overlooking the charming valley and enjoying the same spectacular view characteristic of the house.

The furniture dates back to the 19th century and was purchased in antique shops in the area of Tuscany. The wrought-iron comfortable beds were all handmade by one the greatest craftsman in Arezzo. Moreover, the Villa is completely floored with ancient mezzane, while ceilings have been restored with ancient chestnut beams. These are just a few examples, since only ancient original materials were used in the renovation process, in order to completely preserve the authentic Tuscan tradition of this unique magical place.

A Wonderful Week in Northern Tuscany
The vista from the villa is breathtaking (as was the drive up the 3.4 km driveway)! The Leaning Tower of Pisa on the right and historic Lucca on the left! Cinque Terre and Florence reasonable drives for day trips. Restaurants, gelato and shopping a short drive away. The villa was spacious, appropriately rustic for its age and location, well-maintained and with a wonderful pool area. Its 6-bedrooms and 6-bathrooms accommodated our family of 6 adults & 3 younger children very nicely. Its restoration was thoughtful and impressive, you knew the building had class, strength as well as charm. We watched thunderstorms roll across the countryside, enjoyed caffe on the vine-covered patio, spent hours around the large dinner table, enjoyed sunrises, hiked the vineyard and driveway, spent afternoons at the pool and slept soundly. A wonderful evening dining experience of Bistecca alla Fiorentine, seafood risotto, poached pear, salad, and strawberry tiramisu produced by Lidia was arranged by the manager. Oh, and the wine.... A perfect place and a wonderful manager who was responsive and engaging.

Absolutely wonderful - better than we could have imagined!
We stayed at the Villa for 2 weeks, there were 10 of us total spanning 3 generations, 6 adults and 4 children. The villa exceeded our expectations in so many ways! The house was beautiful inside and out, the rooms were furnished beautifully. Despite how hot it was outside the air conditioners allowed for a very comfortable nights sleep and the pool was perfect for the heat. We enjoyed meals outside with the beautiful view of the valley and Lucca below. The house manager was so helpful as was the cleaning staff who came throughout our stay. The location is stunning and great for day trips to nearby towns. We could not be more pleased and hope to visit again in coming years! Thank you for our perfect vacation!

We loved Villa Segale
We loved our stay at Villa Segale. It’s a beautiful property and we were very well looked after by Marco, Alessio and the amazing housekeepers. It was the perfect place to relax, sit by the pool,hike and entertain at home. The Villa itself is beautiful and the views are incredible. Lucca is close by and a good base for restaurants etc and we also easily traveled to Forte dei Marmi, Florence and even Cinque Terra where Alessio organised an amazing boat ride for our family with Matilde Navigazione. We would definitely return to Villa Segale and highly recommend it. Our whole group of family & friends, including children, loved it.

Beautiful Villa
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Segale. It was easy to find as you can access the villa's location putting the name into Google Maps. The villa is up on the hill which means that there is a 5 minute drive you must do to access it. We had a commercial van and a mid-sized UV. It was easy to do with the mid-sized UV, and took a little practice with the Commercial van. The Villa itself is very spacious and is very nice. It has a rustic look to it which we really liked. The view of Lucca was incredible both during the day and at night. We had a part of 10 and had plenty of space. The villa has a pool which we used several times. We used the chef service that was offered almost every night of our visit. There is a grocery store 10 minutes away that we used for breakfast and lunch the days we were in the villa. Using the chef service allows you to dine at the villa with the incredible views and I would strongly encourage you to take advantage of this if you stay in the villa. Our only struggle we had that drives the 4 star review is with the internet. The connection really didn't work at all for the entirety of our stay. They sent technicians to the villa at the end of the week but even then it still didn't work right. The landlord made it clear this was abnormal so this on its own wouldn't impact my willingness to stay at the villa.

Family Trip from Brazil: Grandparents. Parents and third generation around 12 and 16.
We are a party of 9 and since 2011. we travel together. Babies and Infants are now teenagers. The Villa is on a Hill, hidden from everything. The path is not easy, it is’s like going to heaven from ground, then it’s demanding. When we got there, the magical begun and each day I discovered how astonishingly the Villa Segale is. We decide not to go out everyday so we did relaxed, cooked and so on. The private Chef went over and I was an memorable experience. If you want to get together with parents, kids or friends, just go to Tuscany , Italy at Villa Segale . I assure you, it will be an experience completely different like Italian “dolce far niente”. Remember : - the road is like going up in a hill. - there are some stairs , wheels don’t go well at the House - there is no sound, only sounds from nature Thank you Marco, the owner. Buona Giornata a Te.

Heaven on the Hill
If you are looking for an authentic historic Tuscan villa experience to relax and enjoy time with friends and family there is no better stay. Located in a vineyard high on a hill with a simply unmatched view over Lucca and Pisa, Villa Segale is instantly charming. Restored with exceptional quality and care, the well equipped villa has everything you could want. Beside the view the two most outstanding features were the large modern pool and patio dining under vines where our group spend endless hours. In fact we enjoyed this so much we cancelled 2 dinners out to stay and prepare our own meals. Service from Allessio and Mellissa met our every need from arranging tours and restaurants to house chefs prepare excellent meals in. The one challenge is a narrow one lane road to the isolated location which severly tested our driving skills in a long wheel base van.

Quintessential Tuscan Charm, Breathtaking Views, Near Lucca
We couldn’t have had a more lovely two week stay at the Villa Segale. The property is gorgeous, and feels like you’d expect a luxurious, but unpretentious, authentic Tuscan Villa to feel. Marco and his team go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable and are on duty to arrange almost anything…and do so with a smile. The views of Lucca and Pisa from the Villa are simply breathtaking, and are worth the initially nailbiting trip to the top of San Macario in Monte. If staying near Lucca with the privacy of your own mountaintop Villa is your goal, don’t think twice about Villa Segale…you won’t be disappointed.

A Tuscan Treasure
Way up on a mountain top right outside of Lucca with breathtaking views of Lucca and Pisa you will find Villa Segale. When you drive up the beautiful and winding road you will encounter beautiful vineyards and acres of olive trees. Although the road to the top is somewhat challenging it is worth every moment when you arrive at this beautiful historic Tuscan villa. The accommodations were perfect for a party of twelve. Each couple had their own spacious bedroom and bath and shared a lovely living and dining room and a magnificent Tuscan kitchen and two outdoor verandas where we all enjoyed dining and watching the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Marco, the owner and Michela, the property manager provided excellent customer service. Any questions we had were dealt with quickly and professionally. On three occasions we hired a local chef, Antonella and her assistant, Lucretia. It was such a pleasure to stay at the villa and enjoy their local Tuscan cuisine. They were delightful to work with and we enjoyed their warm personalities and excellent culinary skills. This was truly a vacation of a lifetime which surpassed anything we could have hoped for.

Incredible view, tranquil
The villa is one of a kind. Peaceful and quiet. The panoramic views across Lucca and the surrounding hills is incredible. The owner and his staff are second to none. There is literally nothing they won’t do for you; from making suggestions, fixing issues without delay, booking trips on your behalf, and even personally sending forgotten items to you after you have arrived back home! There is SO much to do in the area, but quiet time around the pool (which is HUGE) is also wonderful . The villa is piece of Tuscan history and you really feel part of the culture when staying there. Cinque Terre boat trip is a ‘must’ - we went with ‘Del Mare’, booked by Michela. Elisabetta cooked us the most amazing Tuscan meal one night in the villa. All bought, prepared and cleared up for us. Florence is a great day out by train. If you’re thinking about booking Villa Segale, don’t hesitate, just book it!

Amazing
Everything was made incredibly easy for us not only in terms of booking our stay but also during our time at the villa. Both the manager and the owner were so approachable and friendly. Michela helped us arrange babysitters and a chef as well as sending us a video of the bedroom layout so we could determine where best to put the babies to sleep. The villa itself was perfect. It managed to retain its old world charm whilst still having all the modern conveniences one would want. Perfect holiday for families with babies and young children who don’t necessarily want to venture out everyday but also perfectly located for trips to Luca and Pisa.

Great stay at Villa Segale
The Villa is a home away from home and the view is spectacular. I coordinated the vacation for our group of 10 and we didn’t have a single complaint during our 2 week stay. The owner and host were both very accommodating and provided us with detailed information on things to do and places to go. If you are considering a vacation in the Tuscany region I would highly recommend this Villa. I also want to say thank you to Mrs. Alessandra who provided our group with a very informative cooking lesson and delicious meal. You will not go wrong booking this Villa.

Beautiful villa on the hills overlooking Lucca
Everyone we encountered during our stay was delightful and accommodating from the owner of the villa to the house manager to the cooks we hired. The villa is beautifully appointed and comfortable, and the surrounding area is breathtaking. We had dinner at the villa several nights to avoid the 10-15 minute drive up the narrow road in the dark, but the cooks prepared amazing dinners and we were also able to stock our kitchen from the nearby Coop grocery store. Loved it!

Family celebration!
What an amazing place! We have just enjoyed a wonderful week in the tranquil setting of Villa Segale, together with our son and daughter and 4 of their young children, ranging in age from from 4 years to 10. A fabulous week, mostly spent by or in the pool, with a visit to Florence and Pisa also thrown in. A lovely celebratory ( birthday for me! ) meal one evening in Lucca was perfect and was based on a suggestion in the house information file (Trattoria Canuleia in the City Walls) . Fabulous food and service and a great venue for family meals. Villa Segale is in a wonderful location and has been tastefully restored and modernised without compromising its history as a family house of many many years - it has a really peaceful and welcoming feel about it.

Wonderful!!!!
The home and location was everything you could want for an Italian holiday. The home was enchanting and meticulously maintained. We had family rolling in and out throughout the weeks we were there and it had ample space inside and out to gather, relax and eat. Each bedroom had it's own bath and was a very nice size. The view is amazing from both the front porch, veranda and pool. You're set above the vinyards there and looking down upon Pisa and Lucca. It was convenient to many of the things you would want to do during your visit; Florence, Pisa, Cinque Tere, wine tasting, even Rome (but that is a long, long day). The Owner Marco and House Manager Michela were wonderful, if you needed assistance they were very responsive and helpful. There's a house book that has many wonderful tips on where to eat, shop and go but if you needed help with anything she was certainly a great resource. I would definitely recommend the personal chef Antonella. We had her come in 3 times during our visit and the food was the best we had in Italy. A magical evening for you and your guests! To sum it all up.......just Wonderful. If I go back to that area again I would certainly stay there again because I couldn't imagine any better .

The first night, we had a great meal with Lucia and Antonella, another night, a fabulous meal at Ristorante Lombardo and the last, we had a wonderful lesson on the cooking of Tuscany with Allesandra. She and her friend gave our family much information, joy and delicious food. The rooms and grounds are aesthetically pleasing and the view is breathtaking. Michaela,the property manager was very helpful. We loved cooking, swimming and living in the beautiful villa and visiting Lucca and surrounding areas.

Stunning top notch
We just finished 2 weeks at this perfect villa. The villa is meticulously restored using ancient materials and is set on 60 acres of wild flowers, olive groves, and vineyards at the top of a mountain. The views are amazing. Pour some vino, make a cheese plate and sit out by the pool and take it all in while the Tuscan sun is setting. As hard as it is to leave the villa it's in a perfect spot for day trips. Tons of small midievil towns are nearby to explore, the coast, and the mountains. 15 min away is the beautiful town of Lucca which we loved but we also went to Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terra, Tollaro, Viareggio, Pistoia, Barga, and MonteCarlo. Wineries are also nearby to tour. The house caretaker Michela is a friendly text away for any restaurant or town recommendations you need. And If you just want to stay but not cook Elizabeth will cook an excellent dinner at an affordable rate. We had 8 people, 4 adults and 4 kids and had more than enough room. A wonderful time was had by all, it was certainly hard to leave this beautiful place. I highly recommend this villa for the perfect Tuscany vacation.
