The villa offers several options for al fresco dining including a shared covered terrace with a large wooden dining table for twenty persons, a large patio with tables and chairs, two barbecue stations and two lovely gazebos with a round table for ten persons each. A staircase lined up with herbs and flowers leads to a large wooden gazebo housing a shared outdoor gym and to the pool area. The large shared swimming pool is surrounded by colorful roses and plenty of sun lounges. In the back of the villa, in addition to the laundry room there is an outdoor children play are and a table soccer and ping pong for adults.
Cooking classes can be organized for guests by professional chefs, either as single or weekly courses and of different levels, varying from typical local dishes of Lucca to refined dishes of the Italian cuisine. Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Luca, rich in vineyards and olive trees, the villa offers an ideal setting for weddings and events.
