This
old farmhouse, located in the Luccan hills, just 12 Kms from the town of
Lucca, was bought by the famous film director, David Lean, for its beautiful
and unique position. It is situated on a hill, close to the small hamlet
of Valgiano, with views over one of the most beautiful landscapes in the
area, from the plain of Lucca to the lake of Bientina, including all the
Lucchese countryside and the mountains of Pisa. Lean never started the restoration
work, and the house was left deserted until two years ago, when it was acquired
by a new owner, who began to totally restore and modernise the property.
The conversion has been done with great taste and charm using authentic
materials, including old terracotta tiles and beamed ceilings. At the same
time, the house has been equipped with all modern comforts. As part of the
efforts to retain the original structure of the property, the old hayloft,
which is attached to the main house, has been converted into an independent
apartment, and accessible off the same terrace. Next to this, there is also
a small barn, which has been restored and now provides further accommodation. An English speaking housekeeper lives at the back of the house in a completely independent apartment and is available for cooking on request. |
