Villa Borgo Bernardini

Centuries ago Count Bernardini created a haven in the hills that surround the ancient walled city of Lucca. Today Borgo Bernardini is an elegant and exclusive Tuscan retreat immersed in a splendid parkland of ornamental ponds and antique fountains, time-forgotten courtyards and lemon scented Italian gardens. The 12 individually styled bedrooms, for up to 24 guests, are a reflection of gracious living blended discreetly with the typical Tuscan hamlet style of wood beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and warm, welcoming colours. Reception rooms include a wine library with private collection of Tuscan wines, a card and billiard room, a domed music room with log fireplace, grand banquet room, a large Tuscan kitchen, several comfortable lounges as well as a workout room. With original features and picturesque views over hills and olive groves, Borgo Bernardini is a home of beauty, tranquility and charm… a perfect place for the gathering of family and friends where days are timeless and memorable.
