Overview
Immersed in the Tuscan countryside away from the crowds, Villa Lucy is a luxury country villa nestled in the beautiful Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the heart of central Italy. The sprawling resort is surrounded by rolling plains and offers a truly harmonious stay for those who wish to restore calmness in their lives.
The Tuscan landscape is considered among the best that Italy has to offer. Full of spectacular hills, elegant architecture, sun-kissed vineyards and gnarly olive groves, it lures travellers in search of fine art, cuisine as well as history and nature.
Stone arches, wooden-beamed ceilings and cool flagstones underfoot make this traditional Tuscan farmhouse a wonderful example of the area’s distinctive architecture. Featuring nine bedrooms hosting up to 24 guests, the ample property is ideal for big group getaways as well as weddings and honeymoon stays. Inside each carefully decorated bedroom, you can find old elements such as exposed brick walls, wooden beams and clawfoot bathtubs mixed with contemporary touches to create a unique rustic feel.
The home is enveloped by manicured gardens with green bushes and citrus trees throughout – but the star of the show is the panoramic pool offering scenic views over the pristine landscape. Perfect for a wholesome morning swim or an afternoon splash, it lets you breathe in the fresh countryside air. On a balmy evening, the outdoor veranda is the best spot to curl up with a lightweight blanket and watch the orange-slice sunset linger in the distance with a side of your favourite aperitif. If you decide to stay for stargazing, the handy firepit is sure to keep you warm until the early morning hours.
It's best to hire a car to explore the surrounding towns and natural wonders and the closest village is 10km from the villa.
To further soak up the region’s wholesome atmosphere, the Riserva naturale Lucciola Bella is a green paradise displaying the region’s stunning nature with roads snaking through the endless countryside, walking trails and abundant plant species. There are amazing vantage points along the way from where to admire the valley as well as many authentic picnic spots if you need to stretch your legs and refuel.
More nature awaits at the Lago Trasimeno, a 90-minute drive away. Here you can relax on the pebbled shores, admire the water from the comfort of a paddle board and rowing boat or wine and dine in characterful trattorias dotted all around.
The closest bigger city is Grosseto, located a comfortable 80-minute drive away. It has a pretty central square and 2900 meter long city walls that have been turned into a tree-line walkway, inviting you for a picturesque stroll after a hearty lunch. Stop to admire the Cathedral of San Lorenzo or visit the Archeological Museum filled with well-preserved Etruscan artefacts to catch up on some history lessons.
Just over a 90-minute drive away, Perugia is a city known for its defensive walls built around the historic centre and a Priori Palace that exhibits regional art from the 13th century onward, making it a wonderful option for a relaxed day trip.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LucyWith undulating fields dotted with vineyards and capped by mediaeval towns, Tuscany’s rich land offers so much to offer. Though mostly rural and therefore perfect for those looking for an unhurried pace of life, the charming region also possesses some of Italy’s most enchanting cities, where architectural treasures can be found on every street. Luckily, Villa Lucy is set in the bucolic backcountry that emanates true Italian romance, with an excellent proximity to many striking towns and notable sights.
If you’re a lover of authentic experiences and wish to reconnect with nature, the plains and grasslands surrounding this oldwordly estate will provide the perfect place to do it. On most days, you can get away with lazing around the pool and going on walks through the fields - and when you feel social, there are many local villages right at your doorstep.
For a spontaneous day or half-day trip, hop in the car and drive for 20 minutes to reach the charismatic town of Castiglione d'Orcia. Its postcard setting is well favoured among tourists who come here to admire the hilltop castle Rocca a Tintinnano offering cinematic views over the valley bellow, as well as the nearby thermal baths. A stroll through this idyllic town will surely make you forget the sense of time.
If you wish to soak up more culture, then a visit to Umbria’s capital will help you to immerse yourself in the immense history of the region. Featuring a plethora of Etruscan archways, Gothic palazzos and winding streets, this authentic city also has an admirable dining scene with fantastic restaurants, cafés, bakeries and bars serving local dishes alongside indulgent deserts and crisp wines.
Just over 90 minutes by car, you can be dipping your toes into the warm sand of on one of the many beaches on the Tyrrhenian coast. The wide beach of Marina di Grosseto is backed by a lush pine forest which offers excellent shelter from the blazing sun. There are many more bathing spots located along the shores, so beach-combing wanderers should get ready to go exploring. Continue down south to find the best hideouts until you reach the Parco Regionale della Maremma, a natural park with forest trails, cycling paths and even canoeing options. The true hidden gem is however the almost-secluded Cala Di Forno beach with a white-washed sand and resident deer happy to pose for your holiday photographs.
If you need more ideas on what to do, The hilltop town Arezzo allows you to see the best of the old and new Tuscany in one place, mainly due to its many landmarks such as its cathedral with painted vaulted ceilings and a 15th-century fresco of Mary Magdalene by Piero della Francesca, or the imposing Medicean Fortress – an impregnable mediaeval marvel with breathtaking views.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesThis ‘green heart of Italy’ will ensure young children, as well as adventure-loving teenagers, will have an unforgettable holiday.
Start your day by visiting Castiglione d'Orcia, a small town immersed in nature and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Composed of trees and ravines, it presents the ideal spot for a family stroll finished by a visit to the Sala d’Arte San Giovanni – a small museum featuring many paintings by some of the greatest exponents – or a hike to the impressive Tentennano Fortress built in the 13th century.
Alternatively, make your way to the Val d’Orcia Artistic Natural and Cultural Park created to safeguard the natural and artistic riches of the valley. Hire bicycles to explore the countryside and its hills or walk around the crumbling farmhouses and local vineyards by foot.
To cool down on a hot day, head to the Parco Regionale del Lago Trasimeno - an attractive lake with deep blue water with plenty of activities for the entire family. Teenagers can rent paddle boards and sail around the lake’s shores, while parents with small children can relax and watch them from the comfort of a nearby sun lounger. The regional park also features historic villages and restaurants worth exploring, while the Aquapark di Tavernelle south of Lake Trasimeno will provide endless hours of entertainment for all ages.
If your little ones are still curious to see more, buckle up and drive to Perugina to visit its chocolate factory home to the prestigious Baci chocolate. The best way to finish the day is to expand their palates in one of the many pizzerias and walk around the city’s Etruscan archways, spacious palazzos and mediaeval alleyways before heading back home.
