Villa SunKiss: Traditional Stone Farmhouse Villa, Private Pool, Panorama and a Lot of Character in Lucca
Matraia - Villa
Accommodation
Description
There’s a sitting area with a generous fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen with a romantic flair and an inviting dining table in the orangerie featuring unique views thanks to its grand windows on each side.
This Tuscan property has 4 bedrooms with double beds. All 4 bedrooms have air conditioning to keep you comfortable during summer in Italy. Your pick of restaurants, bars, groceries and wineries are a short drive away from the villa.
The town nearest the villa is Lucca, a famous enclave whose architecture dates back to roman and medieval times. Stroll its maze-like streets, pausing to sample local olive oil—or gelato, if you’re on holiday with the whole family—have a glass of wine, or sit down to a honeymoon-worthy dinner featuring seafood from the nearby coast. For a memorable day trip, see the Unesco site coastal towns of Cinque Terre or shop the bespoke boutiques in Forte dei Marmi or have a day trip to endless trasures like Siena, Florence, Pisa, Chianti, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, Garfagnana, San Gimignano, Volterra, Livorno and many others.
Please kindly remark that the house is reachable through an unmade road, therefore it is not suitable for sport cars, cars with low suspensions or drivers who are unfamiliar with country roads.
The pool area is equipped with 2 sun-loungers and 2 sun-beds.

An lovely property in the hills with stunning views of the valley below. We had everything we needed to enjoy a family reunion and celebrate my father birthday. The location is quiet down a narrow track through beautiful olive groves. A short walk down the hill we found a vineyard and olive producer that provided the perfect spot to hold our birthday lunch following a tour and wine/ olive oil tasting!!!

This is a beautiful villa on the hillside outside of Lucca. Our family enjoyed a lovely week in this beautiful home and enjoyed every aspect of the home, pool and vistas from every room. Truly a magical week for our family we’d love to come back.

Lovely Tuscany home with large bedrooms and a beautiful kitchen/dining area. Glorious setting. Windy road is intimidating … but one gets used to it. Grocery store nearby makes it easy to stock up on essentials. Outdoor grill and pool a real treat!

It was soooo special, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We used the pool all days, a little chilly first off but we totally get used to it, even the kids loved it. The flora and fauna at this time was exceptional. Really well equipped all the great serving dishes, coffee making options, outside bbq, lilo, dual towels for pool and bathe etc. It was so peaceful. The place has really been thought about with different spaces for chilling, eatingchasing the sun.

Your insights were very helpful and made our trip all the more enjoyable. The Villa was all that we had imagined it would be. We enjoyed the local restaurants, wine, most of all, the friendly people. Your GPS was so helpful and all we had to do after a long day was touch “home” on the screen and it brought us there safely. We saw and experienced Tuscany at its best last August. We had a fabu-lous time, largely due to your attention and company. We all had a great time. We will be back!

This was a gorgeous house but the outdoor dining area and pool made our stay! The house was very clean and the details like the tile floors and frescos on the ceiling were absolutely beautiful. The outdoor dining area was amazing for a large group and we spent 90% of our time outside. Although the location is about 20 minutes from downtown Lucca it was great to be in the countryside and there was a great market 8 minutes away. Out entire group loved their stay and we would definitely do it again.

Villa Sunkiss what a beautiful place it is! It far exceeds our expectations. It is an absolute paradise sitting high on a hillside in Tuscany. The vistas from its many terraces and poolside are spectacular! The site pics gave us only a hint of the beauty. We enjoyed the local restaurants, wine, most of all, the friendly people. Your GPS was so helpful and all we had to do after a long day was touch “home” on the screen and it brought us there safely. We saw and experienced Tuscany at its best. Just wanted to say thank-you again for a wonderful week at Villa Sunkiss.

This property had a visual treat every place your eyes landed. Perfectly located for visiting the cit-ies of Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre and Sienna, but more importantly for our family of 8 adults, a welcome retreat at the end of a touring day. The pool, the sunset seating, the clean, well appointed, spacious apartments far exceeded our expectations. We hope to return to Villa Sunkiss soon as we are now looking to rent from Mrs Sonia for every trip to Lucca and Tuscany.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! This place is truely magnificent! The property has so much to offer and you feel at home the moment you walk in the door! The interior is beautiful with so much attention to detail. Everything works as it should and the whole place is so well maintained and spotlessly clean. The garden is huge and beautifully inviting to sit out and enjoy the tuscan sunshine! And last but not least, Sidrak and his family are so kind, welcoming and extremely accomodating & flexible. I fully recommend staying here.. you will not regret it!

We enjoyed every minute spent there. The villa is setted amongst the olive groves and lot of green-ery. There is a great view from each room especially from the kitchen where we had our breakfast every morning, all the family together. The little village with restaurants and the grocery of mr Sev-erino was great. We found fresh local cheeses, ham and fuit there. Amazing. Our host was fabu-lous and the villa was very charming.The villa is truly an upscale property and we feel we have been lucky to choose it from the wide selection online. We loved Lucca. We had an unforgettable 2 weeks. |
