Once an olive press used by villagers to press their yearly
harvest, Il Frantoio is surrounded by beautiful
terraced olive groves.
Its recent renovation has converted this charming structure
into a comfortable home offering views across the swimming pool and
down the valley towards the medieval walled town of Lucca.
Inside, Il Frantoio has maintained its
rustic character, with original terra-cotta tiles and wooden beamed
ceilings throughout.
- On the first floor there is a fully equipped Tuscan kitchen
with dining area, and a spacious lounge with sofas and armchairs, a
music system and satellite TV and internet access.
- On the second floor there are four bedrooms, each with its
own brand-new ensuite bathroom.
For al fresco dining, a wrought-iron table
and chairs with large umbrellas are placed on the lawns, allowing
guests to dine while watching the sunset over the valley and Lucca
beyond.
