Enquire about this villa

The essence

Il Frantoio is the estate's original olive press, charmingly restored into a warm and intimate home that wears its history openly. Four en-suite bedrooms sleep up to eight; a large, comfortable lounge and a spacious Tuscan kitchen with an eat-in breakfast room complete it. The gardens are wrapped in terraced olive groves, with valley views across the swimming pool to the medieval towers of Lucca. Dating to the sixteenth century, the press served the Controni family — and the village of Vorno — until 1997; during its restoration, the great ancient terracotta oil jars were found still embedded in the cellars.

The house

Architecture & restoration

The old frantoio's character is intact — stone, beams and warmth — now a relaxed home with a large lounge and a generous Tuscan kitchen with an eat-in breakfast room. Maid, concierge and gardener are included.

The setting

Land, view, context

Above the village of Vorno in the terraced olive hills of Lucca, part of the historic Controni estate, with the towers of the walled city in view across the valley.

Living here

An easy retreat for close family and friends — summer evenings by the pool with Lucca on the horizon, dinners in the old press, and the olive hills and city both moments away.
