Italian Country Estates - Casale Mugnani, Lucca, Tuscany

Traditional Tuscany's Country Estate pages allow you to view any of our Italian properties that have two or more self catering apartments on site as a whole. This way you can see under the 'accommodation' heading how many apartments are on a particular estate and how many people those apartments will sleep. The self catering apartments listed under the 'accommodation' heading all have clickable links to take you directly to an individual description of that accommodation along with its current availability.

These pages are especially useful for family groups who are perhaps looking for one or two apartments on a larger estate, for couples who are looking for smaller estates with only two or three properties maximum or for larger parties who are perhaps planning a reunion or wedding. 

If you are specifically looking for an villa or apartment in Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche and Lazio and want to search by date availability or number of bedrooms etc, you can use the drop down menu in the Property Finder and select 'villas and apartments' for self catering apartments with a shared swimming pool or 'private villas' for a selection of independent villas with private pools.

Estate Overview

Casale Mugnani is set in the hills of Lucca which are renowned for their natural splendor as well as for the art and architecture nestled amongst them. One such splendor is Antica Casale Mugnani, a classic 16th century Tuscan farm house, set amongst ancient olive groves with awe inspiring panoramic views.

The main house and its annex have been converted into five holiday apartments, each one imbued with it’s own style and character. All furnished with style and taste, combining local tradition and every modern comfort. A wonderfully mature and beautifully planted garden surrounds the property and here you will find tables and chairs for dining al fresco, an antique stone fountain, a barbecue area and a play-area for children. The swimming-pool, also with fabulous views is situated in its own garden area to the side of the main house.

Casale Mugnani is near to Lucca as well as within easy reach of most important Tuscan places of interest. The nearest village is Marlia (4 Km), where you can find all kinds of shops and a supermarket. The nearest restaurant and a little grocery shop is within walking distance at less than 1 km.

The house dates from the sixteenth century, evidence of the wealth of the silk merchants who had made Lucca famous throughout Europe from 1300 onwards. The property has seen various changes over the years but recently the owners have worked hard to restore it to its original concept using as much as possible local materials such as chestnut beams, terracotta floors and the local stone "la pietra di Matraia".

Nature lovers can go for long walks through woods, vineyards and olive groves. Nearby are old churches, historic villas and farms where you can sample local produce and, perhaps, follow the “Strada del Vino”, a route tracking the wine production of the area. Trips to the mountain areas of the Apuana Alps and Appenines can be made and some fascinating towns are within easy reach – Lucca, of course, but also Pisa, Florence, Pistoia – all of historic and artistic interest.The beaches at Versilia are about 30 minutes away by car and, for children's entertainment, Pinocchios Park is about 20 minutes drive away.

The five apartments are all furnished with flair and great attention to detail, combining stylish antique furnishings with modern comforts, including satellite television, dishwashers and hair dryers.
