Tastefully and meticulously restored, the 15th-Century Villa Francigena enjoys the luxuries of today while celebrating the ancient authenticity of its Tuscany roots.

Spend your days lounging by the pool, exploring the property, and dining alfresco.
Villa Francigena is a stunning country villa in Tuscany in a 10 mins drive from the town of Lucca and 30 minutes from the beaches of Versilia and more exactly along the world-known Roman time road Via Francigena leading pilgrims from all over Europe to Rome and then to holy land once traced these hills passing close to the farmhouse and still today walkers can be seen on their journey of faith. Originally built in the 15th century, the recently renovated farmhouse villa on a hectare of beautifully landscaped gardens features expansive open-air living and dining areas, exquisite interiors, and ten superb bedroom suites sleeping twenty guests. For families and groups of friends seeking an ideal balance of privacy, rustic refinement, and prime locati-on in the heart of northern Tuscany, Villa Francigena is an ideal choice.
The owners’ artful remodeling project has breathed a contemporary spirit into the vintage Tuscan home. The main dining room with farmhouse table is perfect for nighttime feasts with family and friends. Gourmet travelers will adore the fully equipped kitchen, which includes a eight-burner cooker, double oven, double dishwasher, american fridge with ice maker and French doors opening onto the outdoor dining area and the wood-fired pizza oven. The spacious kitchen is loaded with high-end appliances, marble counter tops, and extra seating at the breakfast bar and table.
Exposed wood beams and ancient stone walls show off Villa Francigena authenticity. Within the spacious villa, you’ll find designer furniture, local works of art, and elegant lighting fixtures. The atmosphere is classic Italian countryside, warm, inviting, and stylish.
Secluded amid lush flowers and trees, the villa's ample grounds invite you to enchanting days and nights in the Tuscan air. Savor bright mornings floating in the sparkling swimming pool and sunbathing on stylish four-poster loungers.
An easy drive from this 10-bedroom villa, the walled city of Lucca is the perfect place to browse the boutiques before stopping for a glass of wine, as well as traditional Tuscan towns such as Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, Florence, Pistoia, Montecatini, Siena and the Cinque Terre with some of the best Italian medieval and Renaissance architecture; super restaurants, antique markets, classical and jazz music festivals, easy access to beautiful ancient villas nearby and endless beaches less than 30 mins away.

Spacious house for big family. The surrounding area was amazing with the views. Modern conveniences but still has the charm of its past.

The road up the drive could be smoother. Difficult situation with the trash if you don’t have a car. All minor suggestions for an otherwise perfect place.

We had a fantastic 2 week stay in this wonderful villa in June/July 2023. The wonderful hospitality was greatly appreciated. The villa itself was excellent, with great views, lots of space, clean, and extremely quiet. The pool was excellent and the children loved it. A vehicle is needed, but the location is ideal for trips to Lucca, shopping, groceries, and sightseeing. We managed to tour a lot of the Northern Tuscany areas. Martina was extremely helpful and the service was excellent. We would highly recommend this villa to others and are intent on returning!

This property had a visual treat every place your eyes landed. Perfectly located for visiting the cities of Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Cinque Terre, but more importantly for our family of 8 adults and 2 children, a welcome retreat at the end of a touring day. The pool, the sunset seating, the clean, well appointed, spacious rooms far exceeded our expectations. We hope to return to Villa Francigena soon.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Francigena, it was a very beautiful place with great views. Thank you and your family for providing a well equipped and comfortable villa, and a fantastic swimming pool, my children didn’t want to get out of the pool! We all loved Lucca and would defiantly come again and recommend our friends to stay too. We appreciated your clear instructions and maps, and your advice on restaurants and things to sightsee. Our memories of sunny Lucca will keep us going through the wet English weather! Hope to see you again, all our best wishes to you and your family,
