Villa Noa, Romantic 8 bedroom Luxury Farmhouse with Private Pool on the Lucca Hills

Lucca and the surrounding hills form a postcard-perfect panorama at Villa Noa. This stunning old farmhouse was built on a hill overlooking the city to take full advantage of the views, and was recently renovated to offer modern style and luxury. Invite up to sixteen friends or family members for a serene country retreat, or use the estate for a honey-moon- style getaway to one of the most scenic destinations in Tuscany.



Drink in the views from outdoor living spaces with sitting and dining areas. Inside, romantic master bedrooms with marble-splashed bathrooms, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning and Wi-Fi round out the list of hotel-worthy amenities. While the home’s surroundings are of a grand scale, the interiors of Villa Noa are cozy and inviting. In the open-plan living and dining room, warm neutral tones and slipcovered sofas and chairs lend a certain rustic elegance.



The villa has eight bedrooms, including two on the ground floor for greater accessibility. Some of the rooms open to a balcony or to a porch. You can fall asleep to the sound of the wind meandering through the almost 700 olive trees that adorn the property and produce an exquisite olive oil. Like the main living areas, the bedrooms charm with warm neutral tones and farmhouse-inspired original furnishings.



Set just outside the village of Marlia and close to the hamlet of Valgiano, Villa Noa puts you a short drive from Lucca old town, as well as a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, grocery stores, delis, bakeries and much more in the village of Marlia. Once at Villa Noa, catch up on some reading beneath shady pergolas, work on your tan by the glorious infinity swimming pool and take advantage of its jacuzzi corner while surrounded by your private view. A stroll through the woods of the estate will indulge your soul. In the afternoon, fire up the BBQ and grill something fresh from a local market. At dinner, the fully-equipped kitchen is sure to inspire your inner chef. Or, you could bring in a private chef to create a menu of delicious Italian cuisine. After dinner, take a bottle of wine out and sit on the pool-edge while the sun sets over the rolling hills.



This region of Tuscany offers countless opportunities to experience the long and diverse local history, starting with enchanting Lucca (15 minutes away) with the best preserved Amphitheatre in the Roman world to Pisa, San Miniato and Montecatini Terme which are between a 30 to 60 minute drive away. Florence, San Gimignano, Versilia Coast, Chianti wine region and Cinque Terre (five mirage-like villages built along the dramatic coastline) are also fabulous historical sites to visit during your stay and are approximately a 1 hour drive away. Pistoia, Volterra, Siena, Bolgheri, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi, Garfagnana, Valdinievole and the Versilia Coast are also all within easy reach. Or you can choose to enjoy the region as visitors have done for centuries: simply admiring the views and letting the surrounding vineyards and olive trees refresh your spirit.
