Location
Villa Fontana is located only 20 minutes from the city centre of Lucca, driving West towards the Coast. The property, and the city, enjoy an ideal location, in a fertile area close to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Tuscan Coast.

The city of Lucca is famous for its intact Renaissance-era city walls. As you cross the walls into the city, you enter the heart of the town and what is commonly referred to as ‘the city of one hundred churches’ for the large number of religious buildings which represent marvellous examples of architectural Italian styles. The walls we see today date back to the 17th century. Now, no longer used for defense, they are crowned by 4km of green parkland, and are a lovely place to walk, cycle or stop for a picnic.
Lucca is without a doubt one of the richest Italian cities in history and charm. It is centrally located and well served by motorways, which makes it an ideal place to live. Here is the place where once the Florentine noble families used to spend their summers in their mansions that are still there today as evidence.

The location is strategic, in fact Lucca is one of the most attractive cities to live in due to its proximity to the most frequented destinations in Tuscany: the Tuscan Coast/beaches in Versilia which is just 15km away and Florence city which is just an 1-hour drive. Lucca is also very easily accessible, the Pisa airport is 30 minutes drive away and Florence airport is only 45 minutes.
Lucca is an extremely lively city, with many activities and events, but it also very well known for its restaurants where you go for a real culinary experience, not simply to just eat.
