Property Information
Close to Lucca, in Authentic Northern Tuscany
Villa Pineta is located just uphill from Ghivizzano on the winding road towards Lucignana. The village is attractive and historic, with castle walls and a clock tower visible from the main road from Lucca.
There are supermarkets, pharmacies, home stores and many restaurants nearby, making the villa practical for longer stays.
The villa is approximately 40 minutes north of Lucca by car or train. Lucca is famed for its fully intact Renaissance walls, the second longest walled structure in Europe. The city is largely pedestrianised within the walls and is known for its restaurants, shopping and cultural events. It is also the birthplace of Giacomo Puccini, with concerts and museums dedicated to him throughout the year.
Nearby Towns & Attractions

Bagni di Lucca is just 15 minutes away and is famous for its natural thermal baths. The baths were used by the Romans and later restored by Elisa Baciocchi, sister of Napoleon, in 1811. They remain open today and offer relaxing spa experiences. The area also offers rafting and other outdoor activities for adventure seekers.
