Villa La Chiusa with garden and pool La Chiusa is a private villa in Lucca built starting in the 15th c. Recently restored, it sleeps 12 people in comfort with 6 bedrooms and 5 baths. The villa is fully air-conditioned.

You'll enjoy the elegantly furnished living areas that open out to a terrace and garden with a pool.  Daily house-keeping is included and chef is available to prepare dinners.

Villa La Chiusa is located 2 km outside the walled city of Lucca with downtown Florence about 1 hour away by car or train, half an hour to the sea; the ideal location to explore Tuscany and beyond.

Ancient stone walls surround this vast park-like garden planted with persimmon fruit trees, roses, wisterias, and grapevines.

The sunny terrace is lined by terracotta planters with a profusion of geraniums. The outdoor "al fresco" seating group is a pleasant setting for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening.

For your enjoyment in the summer-time, inside the private garden is a 26 foot diameter newly built round in-ground swimming pool.

Lucca was made famous and wealthy centuries ago by the silk trade. The artist-owner has a private drapery studio with historical fabrics on the property.

The care-taker has a private apartment on the property. The owner keeps a separate smaller house for herself at the far corner of the garden; this house is not seen from the villa.
