XII century farmhouse on the hills above Lucca with chef. Only local food.

Farmhouse Villa Lean is a beautiful, private homestead nestled in the hills of Tuscany’s wine country above the ancient walled village of Lucca . The original farmhouse was previously owned by David Lean, the famous film director; who fell in love with the breathtaking views but never started the restoration work. The house was left deserted until 1993 when it was acquired by the Ferrucci family who totally restored and modernised it whilst retaining its character and many authentic features.
The house comprises two separate living areas that sleep up to 10 people and can be rented out for a single large group. The main house sleeps 8 people.. The oldest part of the house, which dates back to the 12th century, adjoins the main house and sleeps 2 people and there is also a sofa bed for another 2 persons..Monica Ferrucci, who is an expert cook offers an extensive menu of superb, affordable Italian and local Tuscan cuisine.


Description :
The house comprises two separate living areas that sleep up to 10 people and can be rented out for a single large group . The main house sleeps 8 people; it has four well-lit bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large kitchen and a first floor sitting room. The oldest part of the house, which dates back to the 12th century, adjoins the main house and sleeps 2. It has a lounge area, bathroom, spacious kitchen and an original fireplace in the large first floor bedroom. Outside the house is a large pool that is surrounded by sumptuous gardens and enjoys fabulous views across the vineyards and valley below.

food related property:
All the kitchen areas are well appointed with high quality appliances or if you prefer, a barbeque is available for outdoor cooking. If you would rather not cook at all, Monica Ferrucci, who is an expert cook and lives in self contained accommodation at the back of the house, offers an extensive menu of superb, affordable Italian and local Tuscan cuisine. As well as being an excellent cook, Monica also has a wealth of local knowledge that she is always willing to share to ensure you make the most of your visit.


Tuscany lost corner:
During your stay at the Villa, you have the opportunity to do what we call a mountain villages tour.It’s essentially another way of getting off the beaten track! Just like in a safari, we are going to drive around our district to explore small hamlets, villages, historical landmarks, castle ruins and artistic jewels such as the “pievi” that normally get unnoticed by travelers taking “different” roads.

We can also drive through off-road trails to admire the local flora and fauna and visit the breathtaking canyon of ‘Orrido Di Botri’ where it is possible to have the rare opportunity to see the eagle in its natural habitat. You can access the canyon overcoming big rocks partly on foot or by wading through chest high deep pools of crystal water for a couple of hours to complete the whole track. Helmets will be provided at the entrance. It is also possible to admire the “Orrido” from above, hiking on a one hour and half loop trail
If it’s very hot we may end up for a super refreshing swim in the pools of the Lima creek and a enjoy a good ice-cream at the end of the tour.
Lunch breaks included .This tour almost takes the whole day, say from 9,30 am to 6pm.

Please don't hesitate to contact us for low season weekly offers including tours , accommodation and meals.

Great Location

Monica was the best, to start we wanted her to make us supper the 1st night but I got back to her late and she had already made plans to attend an olive oil festival at a hamlet a few miles from her Villa. She invited us to attend with her and it was the best way to start out our visit, when you watch tv and see Italy with everyone from the town eating together, it was exactly like that an 8 course meal with all the wine you could drink it was amazing. She was available for everything we needed a cab to Florence she hooked us up we needed a restaurant for supper she hooked us up the owner even came out to let us know we we’re eating Monica’s mozzarella from her cow!!!!! She will take care of everything if you need her to and as others have said in reviews we did have her make us a meal and it didn’t disappoint. If we make it back this way I would stay hear again. Thank you Monica

Tuscan farm living at it’s best!

The property was breathtaking, the animals were so fun to be around and Monica and Giovanni were the most exceptional hosts. You must have her cook for you, every item of food is from her farm or nearby farms and the food was perfect! We really enjoyed our time here with not only the accommodations but the company. You can truly see how much Monica cares for her beautiful animals. We hope to come again someday!!

Quiet, beautiful Tuscany

We LOVED our farmhouse stay! Monica, you are amazing and have made me rethink how I garden and cook! Your meal was our best in all of Italy. We enjoyed getting to know your Bebe and Olga!! Our grand children loved all the sheep, goats and chickens. It was peaceful and postcard beautiful. Location was wonderful and close to all the things we wanted to do. I appreciate your help in finding quality restaurants and especially the cooking class recommendation with Antoinetta.

Amazing location and fantastic hosting

This was a special event made even better by the beautiful house and Monica's great cooking and hosting. Stunning views and beautiful rooms. Monica welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed, she couldn't have been nicer. We also arranged for her to cook a celebration meal one night which was exceptional, genuine local products, her own cheese and a real flavour of Tuscan cookery. I can't recommend this place and Monica enough.

Our villa stay

Our family of six adults had a wonderful time staying at the villa. Monica and Giovanni were very helpful, answering all of our questions and gave great recommendations. Monica arranged for us a wine tour and tasting just a few minutes away. , which was excellent. Giovanni took us on an all day tour of the mountains and mountain villages. He was extremely knowledgeable about them and the local history and culture of these villages. On our last night Monica prepared a four course dinner, which was excellent. This was the perfect way to end our stay there. Lastly as other people mentioned in their reviews, if you use the heat you will pay for it and the time of check out.

Wonderful stay, hosts are amazing and warm

Fantastic location, wonderful people, home cooked meal was amazing. Relaxing, wonderful furnishings. Beware that the heat is very expensive if you use it! Kitchen is awesome to cook and views are unbelievable. Couldnt reccommend more for a true Tuscany experience. Views are stupendous. Was a highlight of our trip just to play with the dogs and sheep and get a gourmet meal. Easy to go all over the region from here as well. meal on Ne highly

Beautiful location

Villa Lean is beautiful in every aspect...interior, decor, view of countryside below of olive trees and grapevines. Monica, the host, is wonderful...a world of information and responsive to any inquiries. As a chef, she cooked a fantastic dinner of all local organic products, including her homemade cheeses. We loved staying there and exploring local restaurants, binyardsabout the farmhouse history,

Farm in the hills

Monica’s farm villa is located far above Lucca with amazing views. Loved her animals, especially Baaaba the baby goat that followed her everywhere. Had three wonderful dinners prepared by Monica and took a fun trip with Giovanni into the mountains. Expect castle like steps in the rooms. Was treated like family. Miss both Monica and Giovanni. Thanking them both for an exceptional experience..

Dream location!

We booked our stay for my parents 50th Anniversary (5 couples). Monica & her husband are lovely people with a beautiful home! We absolutely loved our stay - the villa and the grounds felt like something out of a movie. Amazing views from all the bedroom windows, and a beautiful table to have dinner al fresco. The pool is very large & was lovely to cool off in. We loved the dogs and the sheep & goats. Monica made us an amazing dinner one night and it was delicious and so fresh! We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back

We enjoyed the pool and the amazing views. Monica and Giovanni were very helpful and always available as they are staying at the same place (which was not clear on the description). We found that some equipments were missing in the kitchen but overall we had a great experience! We loved the tour we booked with Giovanni and highly recommend it!!

Everything we wanted and more!!

Our family of 8 had a wonderful time at this 12th century Tuscan villa. It was everything we wanted and more. The views were stunning. Our host, Monica, was warm and friendly. She cooked three meals for us that were incredible!! We were able to experience local Tuscan cooking and with each new course we were amazed. Don't miss out on Monica’s cooking and her own cheeses! The pool provided the necessary relief from the heat in July. Floating around and looking up at the blue Tuscan sky will be a memory we won’t soon forget. Giovanni guided us on an all-day tour of the hidden treasures in the mountains. This was one of our favorite experiences. We were able to see and appreciate the history of the area. The views were magnificent and memorable. Monica was also able to provide reservations at local restaurants and wine tastings that we thoroughly enjoyed. The three dogs (Olga, Artu and Lola) and sheep (Bebe) were adorable and friendly, and we quickly got attached to them. We would highly recommend this villa and would love to come back and visit again someday.

Wonderful experience in the hills of Tuscany

We were a Norwegian family of 10 people who stayed in the beautiful and charming Villa Lean for 9 days. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our pleasant hosts, Monica and Giovanni. The villa have a calming and rustic feel with panoramic views over Capannori and Lucca. We had a fantastic time up by the pool during hot days, and enjoyed the nice breeze in the other outdoor facilities in the afternoon and evening. Monica made us an absolutely lovely dinner for my 70th birthday using local food with delicious flavors and wine from the area. Monica was also very helpful in organizing wine tasting and restaurant bookings for us. We highly recommend Villa Lean for future guests!

Beautiful Villa

From the moment we arrived at the Villa and met Monica and Giovanni we knew it was going to be a fabulous trip, we had a group of 7 women and Monica made us feel right at home like family, Monica originally gave us a name of a driver to get us to the Villa since we were not going to be driving, and they were amazing, so we thank Monica for that. The Views at the Villa are breathtaking, the pool was fabulous especially after a long flight in. Monica is an amazing chef, highly recommend Monica's dinners, I am still raving about her dinners just be prepared to eat a lot. Monica also makes her own Cheeses and is amazing. Monica's 3 dogs (Olga, Artu, and Lola) and a sheep(Bebe) that roam around the Villa are so cute and funny, we just fell in Love with them. We highly recommend Giovanni's tour up in the mountains to other Hamlets, I think it was my favorite part of the whole trip, beautiful scenery. Monica made us reservations at the restaurant at top of the hill, easy walk from the Villa. Highly Recommend this Beautiful Villa.

Beautiful farmhouse with incredible views!

My family of 8 just stayed at the home and had an incredible time. The farmhouse is rustic but it has everything you need. Beds and linens very comfortable. The views are incredible and Monica and Giovanni were excellent hosts and cooked us a delicious dinner. Only drawback was it’s very hard to find the home at night, it’s down a dirt road and sign hard to find so arrive during the day. Also the house has very steep stairs and I would t recommend if elderly people are in your group. Otherwise the pool was refreshing, the garden lush and overall we had a stay we will never forget.

Monica is a fabulous host who cooked us a delicious meal on our first night. Her and Giovanni were so welcoming and suggested a beautiful restaurant nearby one evening and even booked it for us. We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend.

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Die Küche und der gemütliche Essplatz mit Aussicht sind ideal zum selbst Kochen (mehr als geplant). Joggen und Wandern direkt ab dem Haus ist möglich, die Topografie ist sehr steil. Ausflugsziele sind mit dem Auto schnell erreicht. Die Gastgeber begleitet von Hunden und einem Schaf sind sehr zuvorkommend.

Magical spot with fantastic hosts

The views are stunning and the Villa is charming and stocked with everything you need to be self sufficient. The hosts are warm and friendly and made the trip extra special for all of us. Monica made us mind blowingly good dinners several nights, and be forewarned, there will be so much food that you will have enough to feed you lunch and breakfast the next day. Everything is organic and extremely locally sourced, and she makes all of her own cheeses from her flock of sheep and goats. Giovanni's safari of the remote Italian villages in the area, far from the tourist crowds, was a big highlight of the trip. Grazie mille to all of the residents of Villa Lean, including the dogs and BeBeee.

Incredible stay on this gorgeous Tuscan farm!

What a fantastic stay on this beautiful farm we had! There are sheep and goats on the property, and everything was clean and lovely! The views are spectacular and the houses are clean, charming and comfortable! We were 6 friends traveling together and all absolutely loved this gorgeous property and wonderful hosts. Definitely do not miss having Monica cook for you – it was one of our highlights for sure! She prepared the most delicious 4 course dinner made with fresh, local ingredients, her homemade cheeses, and wine from a friend's vineyard! We were only sad we hadn’t arranged for her to cook another meal for us. As other reviewers note, be aware that the internet is spotty (which actually allowed us to just disconnect more fully while there :-). Also be aware if you use heat, that you will be charged separately for that, and it is best if you have cash to pay the day you leave, and it is quite expensive. The place is even better than in the pictures and I would go back again (and again) in a heartbeat and stay even longer (and have Monica cook more meals)! Grazie, Monica and Giovanni!

Tuscany Farmhouse

More of a farmhouse than a Villa. Our host was lovely and a wonderful host; her cooking was excellent. But to be quite honest…it was rather disappointing and I think VrBO ‘over promised’ and falsely advertised. Again, the host was outstanding and a treat to ve with.

Beautiful location and comfortable old farmhouse

We enjoyed four wonderful days at this beautiful old Italian farmhouse. The rental property consists of two buildings one has one bedroom with its own bathroom, a small sitting area, and a kitchen.. the other building has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and also a Kitchen. Be forewarned, all of the bedrooms, except one are up fairly steep stairs, and can be a problem for older people or those with mobility problems. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious with comfortable beds, plenty of good linens, and an abundant supply of very good towels. Kitchens are well stocked with plenty of room to move around. The greatest feature of this property is its location. It is on a hillside in the hills above Lucca. The property looks down upon a vineyard just below and then into the valley of Luca in the distance. It is a spectacular piece of property. One more forewarning: we were there in relatively cold weather, and had to use the heating system. At checkout we were informed that we had to pay extra for the heating, and that the payment had to be in euros. I must admit that we had a bit of sticker shock, and had to do some scrambling to come up with the auto code. I’m out of euros. It would’ve been nice if this information had been provided to us at time of check-in. That inconvenience notwithstanding the entire experience was wonderful, and we would highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the Lucca area.

Villa in Tuscany

This villa was everything I wanted when I pictured a villa in Tuscany! Monica's hospitality is unmatched!! The food she prepared was the best we had on our whole trip, so it was well worth having her make a couple of dinners for the 8 of us. The view from the villa overlooking Lucca was unmatched! We delighted in the rustic old but well-equipped villa! It was perfect for our stay. Would come back again. Thank you Monica!!
