With its spacious countryside feel and brick and stone-built walls, Villa La Loggia 9 which refers to the 9 guests it can accommodate is a gem up on the hills east of Lucca. Set among olive groves and vineyards, the main house is a historical marvel that dates back to the 13th century and features a gorgeous open loggia that affords the wonderful vistas of the surrounding valley. The villa owner who is an architect and designer by profession had thoughtfully furnished the property with period and classic furniture while ensuring that the original structure and character of the property are retained. Designed with 5 bedrooms, Villa La Loggia 9 is spread over a main house and a guest house in which the latter is made up of a small independent air-conditioned apartment. Guests get to enjoy stunning landscape from both houses and know that there is also the larger Villa La Loggia 13 that can be rented out for 13 pax for subsequent visits.
With 5 bedrooms to sleep 9 guests at this villa, they are spread over the main residence and the guest house, where guests will find themselves nestled within spacious and conducive cocoons. The main house consists of 2 levels which can sleep 7 guests, starting with the Master Bedroom on the ground floor that comes with a 4-poster bed and an ensuite bathroom featuring a jacuzzi bathtub.
