Description of the Holiday Apartment in Lucca, Tuscany
Holiday Apartment in Lucca, Tuscany:
Vanity Fair is a part of 18th century Villa Costa in Marlia, 4 miles north of Lucca. Just one block from basic food shops and one mile from Marlia's center, this used to be a rural estate of Costa family from Genova, shipping magnates operating Costa Cruise Line. You enter the the apartment through a pair of ancient solid oak doors, stepping into a vaulted-ceiling foyer. The apartment is located on the second story, by way of a completely remodeled stairway. The stairway is made of hewn stone with wrought iron and bronze railings.
The living room has one large living area with a single sofa, dining corner, and a new Tuscany style chestnut wood kitchen with modern equipment. The view from the living room extends through a nearby pine grove and continues to the gently undulating hills of Northern Tuscany. A number of medieval hilltop villages beckon from the vicinity. The dining table is over 200 years old with cherry intaglios and can accommodate up to six people. All the ceilings are beamed with pine and lined with original terracotta bricks. The bathroom is completely furnished with modern facilities. There is a shower, a delightful small window and even a towel warmer. The bedroom has a 400-year-old wrought iron queen-size bed, and a view that extends over the villa's old chapel.
