Villa management in the Lucca hills.
The hills around Lucca are olive groves, vineyards and the gardens of old country villas, with Pisa airport and the sea both close. Our villa here is Triano, a hilltop farmhouse for ten guests, about 15 minutes from Lucca's walls.

For owners
Running a villa in the Lucca hills.
Lucca is calmer than Florence or Siena, the Versilia beaches are 30 to 40 minutes away and Pisa airport is just as close. Guests here often split the week between the town, the sea and the pool, and they plan it before they arrive.
Guests on the move
Beach clubs, a driver for the evening in Lucca, a table at a restaurant on the coast: these requests come in before the stay and during it. We book them, so the owner never hears about them.
A wetter corner of Tuscany
The north-west gets more rain than the south. Gardens grow fast in spring, and damp can get into a house that stays shut all winter. Regular airing and garden visits keep both in check.
A longer season
Lucca has concerts in summer and Lucca Comics & Games in the autumn, so a house that is heated and ready can take bookings outside July and August. Triano is open in winter.
What we can do for you
Full management
We rent the house and run it: bookings and prices, guests, cleaning and linen, maintenance, pool and garden, the Italian tax and paperwork. You get a report and a payment every month.
How management works →If it stays emptyHome Watch
For a house that stays closed. We visit on a schedule, send a photo report after every visit and call you within 24 hours if something is wrong.
Build a free quote →How we run it
We run Triano from our office in Torrita di Siena.
Every house has its own checklists. Cleaning, laundry, pool and garden are done by local people we know and check, and every visit ends with a photo report. Spending above the amount we agree with you waits for your approval.
The first step is a free evaluation of your house. It costs nothing and does not commit you to anything.

The area
What to do around Lucca.
Lucca is still inside its 16th and 17th-century walls, more than 4 km round, with a tree-lined path on top. In the hills outside them are the country villas that Lucca's merchant families built from the 16th century onwards.
Lucca and its walls
Walk or cycle the whole circuit of the walls, then go down into the old town: the oval Piazza dell'Anfiteatro, the Guinigi tower with holm oaks growing on top, and the house where Giacomo Puccini was born.
Villas and gardens
Some of the old merchant villas open their gardens to visitors, among them Villa Reale di Marlia and Villa Torrigiani at Camigliano. Check the opening times before you go.
Montecarlo and Collodi
Montecarlo is a small walled village with its own DOC wine. Collodi, just over the border in the province of Pistoia, has the Garzoni garden and the Pinocchio park.
The sea and Puccini's lake
The Versilia beaches are 30 to 40 minutes from Triano. On Lake Massaciuccoli, Torre del Lago holds an open-air Puccini festival every summer.
At the table
Tordelli lucchesi, a meat-filled pasta served with ragù. Farro soup from the Garfagnana. Buccellato, Lucca's sweet bread with raisins and aniseed. Olive oil from these hills, which has its own DOP, and the local wines of the Colline Lucchesi and Montecarlo.
Getting here
Pisa airport is 30 to 40 minutes from Triano and Florence airport about an hour. Lucca station has trains to Pisa, Florence and Viareggio. You need a car in the hills.

Triano is the villa we manage near Lucca today, and we can take on more houses in the hills and along the coast. Start with a free evaluation of your house.
