Villa Ida - the Ideal Tuscan Escape

Our home is in the quiet hilltop village of Piazzano, full of charm and surrounded by nature. It’s perfectly placed between Lucca (20 min) and the beaches of Viareggio (25 min). The house offers privacy and stunning views of nature and mountains from every window. It’s peaceful, authentic, and ideal for travelers looking to slow down and enjoy the beauty of Tuscany, with easy access to towns, coast, and countryside. The space A Tuscan home made for easy living. Sunlight splashed authentic terracotta floors, while modern comforts keep the experience effortless. On the upper (main) level, a newly renovated (2025) kitchen with all-new appliances sits across from a welcoming living room. Tasteful contemporary furnishings mix with Tuscan pieces for character. A pellet fireplace adds cozy warmth on cool evenings—perfect after a market run in Lucca or a breezy day on the Mediterranean coast. This level also includes two bedrooms—one with a queen bed, one with two singles—and a renovated bathroom. Both bedrooms have desks and wardrobes. The lower level (still above ground) is reached by an indoor spiral staircase and offers a second queen bedroom and another renovated bathroom. It’s a comfortable setup for friends or family who appreciate a bit of separation. Outside, multiple terraces invite long breakfasts, afternoon reading, and golden-hour apèritivo. A covered outdoor “living room” lets you relax in shade or shelter, whether the day brings sun or a passing shower. The roughly one acre property, including fenced area, provides privacy and space, with the gentle backdrop of Tuscan mountains, olive groves and lemon trees. Practical touches make a real difference: fast Wi-Fi for work or streaming, all-new appliances in the kitchen, and screens on every window and door—a rare luxury in Tuscany—so you can enjoy fresh air without the bugs. The home is very clean and carefully maintained. With 3 bedrooms and 4 beds (2 queens, 2 singles) and 2 bathrooms, this is an easy, comfortable base for exploring Lucca, the surrounding coastal mountains, and the beaches of Viareggio, Torre del Lago and Forte dei Marmi. Cook with local ingredients, dine under the sky, and settle in as the evening light turns the hills an unmistakable Tuscan gold. Guest access The entire house is exclusively for your use.
