This magnificent vacation property in Tuscany, can be found in the small hamlet of San Macario in Monte, Lucca. The house is approached from the local church via a short gravelled road through woodland, vinyards and olive groves. Segale, which is a few kilometers from the center of Lucca, has been producing its own olives and wines for centuries.

The five double bedrooms, 3 of which have double beds and 2 have twin beds, each have an en-suite bathroom and have south facing views. All the beds are hand built iron made by local craftsmen. Bathroom fittings are of the highest quality.
 

The ground floor is extremely spacious, with a large entrance hall, a beautiful antique dining table in the dining room and a large country kitchen. The floors and ceilings are antique cotto and traditional chestnut beams are evident througout. All the doors have been made from poplar wood, a traditional material used in the building of these Tuscan farmhouses. Also you will find many antiques also using poplar wood. Light fittings througout the house are all 19th century antique pieces, complimenting the other furnishings, to give you a feeling of quality craftmanship throughout.

The house possesses two outdoor patios where you can rest and relax while drinking in the magnificent surroundings. One on the front of the house which is connected to the sitting room and formal dining room, covered with a pergola of century old grape vines. The other is on the east side of the house with direct access from the kitchen , also covered with a pergola and newly planted grapevine. This patio has a large stone table with seating for 10, a built in b-b-q and a marble stone basin
