VILLA IL BORGO

VILLA IL BORGO

Sleeps 24
Bedrooms 12, Bathrooms 12
Capannori, Lucca – Tuscany, Italy

In the 1700’s Count  Bernardini  created  a  haven  in  the  hills  that  surround  the  ancient  walled city  of Lucca. Today Villa il Borgo is an elegant  and  exclusive  Tuscan  retreat  immersed  in  a splendid parkland  of  ornamental  ponds  and  antique  fountains,  time-forgotten courtyards  and lemon  scented Italian gardens.

The 12  individually styled bedrooms,  for  up  to  24  guests,  are  a  reflection  of  gracious living blended  discreetly  with  the  typical  Tuscan  hamlet  style  of  wood  beamed  ceilings,  terracotta floors and  warm, welcoming colours.

Reception  rooms  include a  wine  library  with   private collection of Tuscan wines, a card and billiard room, a domed  music  room  with  log  fireplace,  grand banquet room, a large Tuscan kitchen, several comfortable lounges as well as  a  workout  room.  With original features  and  picturesque  views  over hills  and  olive  groves,  Villa il Borgo is a home  of beauty,  tranquility  and charm, a  perfect  place for the gathering of  family and friends where   days are  timeless  and memorable.

Surrounded  by  hills  filled   with wild boar, Villa il Borgo  was  once the  hunting  lodge  retreat of Count  Cosimo  Bernardini  of  Lucca who  would   spend  his  weekends in the  country.

The Bernardini  family  played  an  instrumental  role  in  the administration and  politics   of the  Republic  of  Lucca  and  were  responsible  for  the  upkeep  of  law (magistrates) and order  from 1388  through  to  1798.  They  continued  to  support  the  new  political  order  with   the   invasion of Napoleon towards the end of the 18th century.  At  this  time,  Borgo  was  extended  to  become a  small village for the workers of theestate which included an olive press, bakers and chapel.
