HOLIDAY RENTAL PROPERTY
Villa - House to rent in Lucca Lucca Tuscany Italy

According to legend a small clan of Elves used to live right here in this woods - kind-hearted and fun-loving little fellows - fantastical creatures who would reveal themselves only to a select few. All about one inhales magical energy, as if it emanated from their jolly sojourn in this very house. On one elevated hill commanding a stupendous panorama of the Versilian seashore and Lake Massaciuccoli, in the ancient hamlet of Casesi-Corsanico, set into the hills of Lucchesia, we find the Elves House. This house is typical Tuscan architecture of the seventeenth century and has been rebuilt according to the same building techniques of then, in full respecting both history and the environment. The house is brilliantly sunlit and is made up of two split levels plus a loft. Every room has a window overlooking the sea and a few also look out over the woods. Ground Floor Facing the sea coast, the entryway takes you from a garden into a spacious living room with a fireplace, a small study and a bathroom with shower. A spiral staircase leads to the upper floor which is level with a swimming pool set on the inland side. Upper Floor Facing the woods, the entry is from either another garden area or from downstairs. On this side you find a swimming pool, surrounded with fired brick tiles and a lawn for sun-bathing. This floor comprises the kitchen with a second fireplace, a dining room, the main bedroom and a bathroom with shower. Loft One reaches the loft from the upper floor and it comprises two bedrooms and two identical bathrooms except one has a shower and the other a bathtub. Garden A luxuriant garden of roses, honeysuckle, cypress trees and lemon trees surrounds the house, running up to the woods on one side. A venerable gazebo commands a beautiful panoramic vista and one can sit outdoors to enjoy lunch or aperitifs at sunset. A barbecue and wood stove are available for outdoor cooking with the old-time wholesome flavours. Sheds and storage rooms are available from the yard.
