Tofori: villa in typical Tuscan style on the hills of Lucca

In the hamlet of Tofori, surrounded by the greenery of the Lucchese hills, among vineyards and olive groves, we offer a rustic home dating from the first half of the 20th century, in typical Tuscan style and the result of a conservative restoration. The property, a former primary school until the mid-20th century, later purchased by an interior designer and subsequently by a writer, is distinguished by great brightness, authentic charm, and an atmosphere of balance and harmony. It offers a simple yet refined comfort, where everything—from the materials to the color choices and various details—evokes the truest Tuscany. The property is arranged over three levels, with a living area of approximately 250 sq m. Crossing the entrance threshold, you enter the spacious living room with dining and lounge areas, all with exposed-beam ceilings, enhanced by a classic-style fireplace in Matraia stone. The floor is completed by a large, fully equipped kitchen with direct access to the garden, and a room currently used as a bedroom/study/TV room. Going up to the upper floor, you find the first bathroom, then three large, bright bedrooms and the second bathroom with an original period bathtub. On the top level there is a charming loft with resin flooring, highlighted by stone walls and exposed beams, with panoramic views over the surrounding hills and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta. This space lends itself to multiple uses: master suite, study, guest area, creative space or, if desired, an apartment. The interiors express the warmth of tradition thanks to terracotta and wood floors, high-quality windows and doors, and furnishings consistent with the building’s architecture and its setting. Every room is designed to offer comfort, functionality, and balance. Outside, the property is completed by a multi-level garden, well organized and easy to maintain, ideal for fully enjoying the tranquility of the location. A pergola furnished with a dining table invites relaxation, conviviality, and outdoor living. It is also possible to create a private parking space within the property. This rustic home stands out for its strong personality, its welcoming, family atmosphere, and the positive energy that pervades it, making it an intimate and pleasant residence to live in. An ideal solution for those seeking authenticity, views, and quality of life, in the heart of the countryside and a short distance from the center of Lucca, from Collodi, and from the historic villas, including Villa Torrigiani, Villa Reale and Villa Grabau, and only a 50-minute drive from Florence.
