The Cooking School Villa

Villa Aquilea is a treasure. For centuries, a agriturismo producing  wine and olive oil in the hills above Lucca, the villa has a rich past. You feel it the moment you walk in the door. This continues today as guests bask in the sun, relax together and explore Tuscany's unique countryside.  www.villaaquilea.com

Furnishings are elegant and simple – combining local antiques and comfortable newer pieces. Exposed 16th century chestnut beamed ceilings overarch terracotta floors gleaming with the patina of age. Tuscan pigments; rich ochre, burnt siena and cobalt blue are used throughout the villa contributing to the timeless and relaxing ambience.

The villa has five double bedrooms, (three with adjoining bathrooms), two laundries and two fully equipped kitchens. The main kitchen leads onto a wooden outdoor dining setting on a sundrenched terrace under a wisteria-covered pergola. Here, the views are beyond compare: spectacular sunrises, filtered morning light, vineyards and olive groves, moonlit nights with the lights of Lucca and local villages glowing in the distance.

The villa has telephones, also for international calls (with a calling card), a computer with ADSL modem for free unlimited email and internet access as well as wireless WI-FI system -- you can log onto the internet directly from your laptop.

Bedrooms and bathrooms will be serviced daily.
