This charming two-story luxury villa, located on the same estate as Villa Controni, is perfect for a single family or small, intimate group.

Once the olive press for Villa Controni and used by villagers to press their yearly harvest, Il Frantoio embodies a cozy, intimate charm. The villa lies adjacent to a hillside within beautiful terraced olive groves and features spectacular views down the valley to the medieval walled town of Lucca. Following a complete renovation, Il Frantoio maintains its Tuscan character, with original terra cotta tiles and wooden beamed ceilings throughout. On the ground floor find a fully equipped Tuscan kitchen with dining area, relax in the comfortable living room, or stay in touch via a complete, Internet-ready computer workstation.

Settle into any of the four upstairs bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. A swimming pool provides a secluded haven from the Tuscan heat, as well as beautiful views of the surrounding country. In the evening, descend to the brick-vaulted wine cellar - now an informal dining area, perfect for a private wine and cheese tasting. For al fresco dining, gather around the wrought iron tables on the lawns, and toast the sun as it sets over the valley and Lucca beyond.
