Borgo Bernadini in Tuscany Italy

Borgo Bernadini is a fine and richly decorated villa, set in peaceful grounds amongst the hills near to the beautiful town of Lucca. It offers a glamorous and unashamedly opulent setting for a party of friends for up to 24 guests.

Extended family groups may come together here and enjoy each other’s company, in the privacy and comfort of their own ‘home’ for the villa succeeds in combining style with intimacy so that one does not feel overwhelmed when staying here. The bedrooms are all decorated to a very high standard in antique style, and there’s a large formal dining room, a kitchen where more informal meals may be taken, a spacious sitting room, separate television room, and a full sized billiard table. Outside there is a generously-sized swimming pool, and expansive gardens, with many areas in which to relax under the shade. The villa is air-conditioned.
