Summary
Villa Samuele dates back to the first half of the 17th century, the design reminiscent of that era. It has three floors with a large central room surrounded by four smaller symmetrical rooms. It was built as a summer residence for nobility who lived in palazzos in the center of Lucca during the winter and spent the summers in the low-lying hills around Lucca where the temperatures were a few degrees cooler.
Villa Samuele is luxurious property where every detail was considered when renovated. From the attentive staff, to the lavish rooms, it is perfect for a family, or 6 couples. Each of the bedrooms is large, every room with a luxurious private bath, and the whole house appointed with classic antique furniture. It is in close proximity to Lucca, and not far from the Autostrada, making trips to Florence convenient.
