Set in the gorgeous Italian gardens of Tuscany, Villa Il Borgo promises a timeless holiday away from the crowds. Enjoy an idyllic holiday here or make it your base and visit the many tourist attractions nearby. This large estate was used as a hunting lodge by Count Cosimo Bernardini, who was an important figure in the politics and administration of the Republic of Lucca. The count would spend his weekends here to hunt wild boars. To this day, you will find many wild boars roaming the hills around this villa, outside the property’s secured gates.
It has now been converted into an exclusive and luxurious Tuscan retreat that is surrounded by a huge park, decorated with ornamental ponds, garden sculptures, and antique fountains. You will find every modern comfort throughout this rental property. But every effort has been made to retain its history, tradition, and elegance, which you will find in the ornate fireplaces, terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, and antique décor.
Villa Il Borgo has 12 large bedrooms that can easily sleep 24 guests. Seven bedrooms have large double beds and four have twin beds that can be converted easily into doubles. Bedroom #2 has a French bed. They are all individually styled and have wood-beamed ceilings, terracotta floors, and warm welcoming colors.
