Borgo Bernardini, a hamlet tucked away amid
the gently folding hills near the town of Lucca,
is a gracious and luxurious Tuscan retreat that is
grand in style yet not overwhelming.
Originally a lodge from which wild boar were hunted in the
early 19th century, it was expanded into a small
village for the workers of the estate of Count Cosimo
Bernardini.
A modern restoration accentuated the
values of the space and setting of its inner courtyards, softly lit old
walls and enchanted silence.
Inside there is a formal dining room, a kitchen
for casual dining, a music room with fireplace, a card
and full-size billiard room, as well as a fully
equipped gym.
A
genuine time-forgotten atmosphere reigns as guests are immersed in an
aristocratic ambiance of weeping willows, fountains and formal gardens.
Perfect
for a gathering of family and friends, Borgo Bernardini is a home of
such beauty, tranquillity and comfort that you will find it hard to
leave.
