Il Frantoio
Lucca Area - Tuscany - Lucca
An original olive press on the Controni estate at one time used by the villagers of Vorno to press their yearly harvest, Il Frantoio is surrounded by beautiful terraced olive groves.
Il Frantoio is set in an area of outstanding beauty yet each is within easy reach of Tuscany's finest cities, historical towns and medieval villages.
Its recent renovation has converted this charming structure into a comfortable home offering views across the swimming pool and down the valley towards the medieval walled town of Lucca. From the garden, guests can access a delightful brick-vaulted wine cellar that has been converted into an informal dining room - the perfect venue for your own private wine and cheese tasting evening.
For al fresco dining, a wrought-iron table and chairs with large umbrellas are placed on the lawns, allowing guests to dine while watching the sunset over the valley and Lucca beyond.
Inside, Il Frantoio has maintained its rustic character, with original terra-cotta tiles and wooden beamed ceilings throughout.
The area is the quintessence of everything that is enchanting about Italy - the vast and varied scenery, the food and fine wine, the culture, art and history, the hill top villages, narrow cobbled streets, grand piazzas, the passionate people ...
