Location

Located in the quiet village of Vorno in Tuscany, 10 minutes from the historic centre of Lucca. Isolated location, but with easy access to the main regional roads (A12 and A11) Since the 18th century, Vorno has become one of the most desirable places to live around Lucca. Especially in summer, when the Lucca aristocracy leaves their city houses for rural Vorno with its milder temperatures, peace and tranquillity. Although Vorno is easily accessible from most of the motorways in Tuscany and the valleys around Lucca, it remains a secluded gem, making it a perfect base for trips throughout Tuscany. The estate is 10 minutes from the historic centre of Lucca and 30 minutes from Forte dei Marmi or Viareggio on the coast.
