Al Carli - Tuscany Lucca
This old farmhouse, located in the hills around Lucca just 12 Kms from the town, was bought by the famous film director, David Lean, for its beautiful and unique position. It is situated on a hill, close to the small hamlet of Valgiano, with views over one of the most beautiful landscapes in the area. The present owners have totally restored the property. Their restoration was done with great taste and charm using authentic materials, including terracotta tiles and beamed ceilings. At the same time, the house is equipped with all modern conveniences. The original structure, consisting of the main house, the old hayloft and a small barn has been retained. The English-speaking housekeeper lives at the back of the house in a completely independent apartment, and she is available to cook or to give cooking classes. She specializes in local cuisine using only the best local ingredients, including olive oil made on the property. A private banquet-size dining room has also been restored to offer a high quality gastronomic experience to the guests at Al Carli.
