11th CENTURY VILLA, Stunning View & Pool, Unrivaled Private Setting near Lucca

VILLA SEGALE is an historical stone country house dating from the 11th century, strategically located on the charming hills above Lucca. Its privileged position allows his guests to discover all the most important areas of Tuscany and Liguria (Portofino and Cinque Terre).

*****THE VILLA*****

The villa, with its 450 SQUARE METERS, sleeps up to 12 PEOPLE and was beautifully restored according to the highest standard and comforts.
The ground floor is huge with a large entrance, a sitting room with fireplace, a formal dining room, a large fully fitted kitchen, a small study with a high definition satellite TV (with blu-ray player and a private movie collection), an elegant and cozy air-conditioned bedroom with joinable twin beds (if joined they form a comfortable queen bed), and a full bathroom. Two big panoramic verandas – the first one for dining, equipped with a stone BBQ and a spacious stone table, and the second one for relaxation, equipped with outdoor sofas – complete the ground floor.

On the first floor there are five air-conditioned bedrooms with en suite bathrooms: two of them are queen-bedded and are considered the magnificent master bedrooms; the other three bedrooms come with joinable twin beds (if joined they form a comfortable queen bed). All bedrooms are spacious with tasteful furnishing, ample wardrobe space and have large open windows overlooking the charming valley and enjoying the same spectacular view characteristic of the house.

The furniture dates back to the 19th century and was purchased in antique shops in the area of Tuscany. The wrought-iron comfortable beds were all handmade by one the greatest craftsman in Arezzo. Moreover, the Villa is completely floored with ancient mezzane, while ceilings have been restored with ancient chestnut beams. These are just a few examples, since only ancient original materials were used in the renovation process, in order to completely preserve the authentic Tuscan tradition of this unique magical place.

*****LOCATION AND PANORAMA*****

The location of Villa Segale is magnificent.
Perched among green and forested valleys west of Lucca, SEGALE IS SURROUNDED BY 80 ACRES (32 HECTARES) OF OLIVE GROVES AND VINEYARDS.

Such an uncommon spectacular area allows plenty of space to wander and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the property’s extensive grounds. Hence guests can join the natural unspoilt surroundings and admire the local fauna such as owls, birds, hawks, hedgehogs and fireflies.

The spectacular view across the valley towards the Renaissance monuments of the cities of Lucca and Pisa is to die for. Thanks to its exclusive position, on a typical clear day guests can admire the valley below and the whole landscape up to 40 km around. On the clearest days also the sea of Livorno can be seen.

Photos cannot portray the powerful details of such an exceptional view which is recognized as the most stunning in the whole area of Lucca.

Absolutely wonderful - better than we could have imagined!
We stayed at the Villa for 2 weeks, there were 10 of us total spanning 3 generations, 6 adults and 4 children. The villa exceeded our expectations in so many ways! The house was beautiful inside and out, the rooms were furnished beautifully. Despite how hot it was outside the air conditioners allowed for a very comfortable nights sleep and the pool was perfect for the heat. We enjoyed meals outside with the beautiful view of the valley and Lucca below. The house manager was so helpful as was the cleaning staff who came throughout our stay. The location is stunning and great for day trips to nearby towns. We could not be more pleased and hope to visit again in coming years! Thank you for our perfect vacation!

We loved Villa Segale
We loved our stay at Villa Segale. It’s a beautiful property and we were very well looked after by Marco, Alessio and the amazing housekeepers. It was the perfect place to relax, sit by the pool,hike and entertain at home. The Villa itself is beautiful and the views are incredible. Lucca is close by and a good base for restaurants etc and we also easily traveled to Forte dei Marmi, Florence and even Cinque Terra where Alessio organised an amazing boat ride for our family with Matilde Navigazione. We would definitely return to Villa Segale and highly recommend it. Our whole group of family & friends, including children, loved it.

Beautiful Villa
We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Segale. It was easy to find as you can access the villa's location putting the name into Google Maps. The villa is up on the hill which means that there is a 5 minute drive you must do to access it. We had a commercial van and a mid-sized UV. It was easy to do with the mid-sized UV, and took a little practice with the Commercial van. The Villa itself is very spacious and is very nice. It has a rustic look to it which we really liked. The view of Lucca was incredible both during the day and at night. We had a part of 10 and had plenty of space. The villa has a pool which we used several times. We used the chef service that was offered almost every night of our visit. There is a grocery store 10 minutes away that we used for breakfast and lunch the days we were in the villa. Using the chef service allows you to dine at the villa with the incredible views and I would strongly encourage you to take advantage of this if you stay in the villa. Our only struggle we had that drives the 4 star review is with the internet. The connection really didn't work at all for the entirety of our stay. They sent technicians to the villa at the end of the week but even then it still didn't work right. The landlord made it clear this was abnormal so this on its own wouldn't impact my willingness to stay at the villa.

Stunning location
Wonderful house. You must have a four wheel drive vehicle to get there - long steep hill that becomes dirt road with ruts as you near the top. House manager and house cleaner are superb. Fully equipped kitchen.

Family Trip from Brazil: Grandparents. Parents and third generation around 12 and 16.
We are a party of 9 and since 2011. we travel together. Babies and Infants are now teenagers. The Villa is on a Hill, hidden from everything. The path is not easy, it is’s like going to heaven from ground, then it’s demanding. When we got there, the magical begun and each day I discovered how astonishingly the Villa Segale is. We decide not to go out everyday so we did relaxed, cooked and so on. The private Chef went over and I was an memorable experience. If you want to get together with parents, kids or friends, just go to Tuscany , Italy at Villa Segale . I assure you, it will be an experience completely different like Italian “dolce far niente”. Remember : - the road is like going up in a hill. - there are some stairs , wheels don’t go well at the House - there is no sound, only sounds from nature Thank you Marco, the owner. Buona Giornata a Te.

A wonderful location and views -- as well as a beautiful house with simple but very elegant furnishing. Be aware, though, that the road to this house (with extreme hair-pin bends) is not for the faint of heart!

Heaven on the Hill
If you are looking for an authentic historic Tuscan villa experience to relax and enjoy time with friends and family there is no better stay. Located in a vineyard high on a hill with a simply unmatched view over Lucca and Pisa, Villa Segale is instantly charming. Restored with exceptional quality and care, the well equipped villa has everything you could want. Beside the view the two most outstanding features were the large modern pool and patio dining under vines where our group spend endless hours. In fact we enjoyed this so much we cancelled 2 dinners out to stay and prepare our own meals. Service from Allessio and Mellissa met our every need from arranging tours and restaurants to house chefs prepare excellent meals in. The one challenge is a narrow one lane road to the isolated location which severly tested our driving skills in a long wheel base van.

Quintessential Tuscan Charm, Breathtaking Views, Near Lucca
We couldn’t have had a more lovely two week stay at the Villa Segale. The property is gorgeous, and feels like you’d expect a luxurious, but unpretentious, authentic Tuscan Villa to feel. Marco and his team go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable and are on duty to arrange almost anything…and do so with a smile. The views of Lucca and Pisa from the Villa are simply breathtaking, and are worth the initially nailbiting trip to the top of San Macario in Monte. If staying near Lucca with the privacy of your own mountaintop Villa is your goal, don’t think twice about Villa Segale…you won’t be disappointed.
