Italian villa rentals - Villa di Vorno, Lucca, Tuscany
VILLA DI VORNO - AN ITALIAN VILLA RENTAL
JUST 10 MINUTES SOUTH OF LUCCA, TUSCANY
This ancient casale, originally used partially as a mill for the family and
the few inhabitats of the village, and in part as a farmhouse, has been beautifully
restored. It has no architectural pretences, is of simple lines, and the materials
used in construction are those of the time: stones, hand-made bricks, timber
beamed ceilings, terracotta floors. As was customary, the ground floor was used
to house animals and the farm workers slept upstairs.
The spirit of this place, near a small village just outside Lucca, lies in its
absolute simplicity and today, even if the mill wheel no longer turns, the timeless
ancient atmosphere and flavours are present. Quiet, silence and serenity is
the philosophy of life offered here, as Villa di Vorno is brought back to life
for your enjoyment. Here in the warm golden afternoons you can breathe these
simple values of the past. Today the rooms of the old mill have become intimate
and luxurious living rooms, full of warmth and welcome: the old stable on the
ground floor is now the dining room where you can admire the vaulted ceilng,
the stonework and other traditional workmanship.
The large kitchen, the entry hall with its big window onto the garden, the study
and a powder room continue in the same rustic but elegant style. Not to forget
the two stone fireplaces, once so indispensable, which still revive warmth and
memories of family gatherings, old stories and friendly conversations�
