VILLA GIANNA, the Secret Interior Designer's Private Retreat with Pool

If you’ve dreamed of restoring an antique home in the Italian countryside, live out your fantasy at VILLA GIANNA. Here, the work has already been done, and you’re free to spend your holiday enjoying the charming traditional architecture and modern comforts of this luxury vacation rental with private pool by the hamlet of Montecarlo. Simply unwind in the private enclosed gardens with family and friends overlooking the medieval architecture of a church dating back to 10th century, or use the property as a base to explore the area around Lucca.

A panoramic road will bring you out of the village of Montecarlo, into the hills and up to the gates of this romantic, honeymoon-worthy estate. Its terrace and pergola open to uninterrupted views of the antique Italian garden, but trees and hedges hide the gardens from sight, so you’ll feel like the only one for miles as you sink into the pool, or prepare a meal at the al-fresco barbecue.

Though VILLA GIANNA still has its classic tiled roof, stone walls and floors, beamed ceilings, and wide hearth, its furnishings bring the villa comfortably into the modern age. Large bedrooms invite you to linger in while overlooking the charming garden, the dining table has seating for six and there’s even a central counter for amazing cooking classes in the fully equipped spacious kitchen.

The owner of Villa Gianna -who is also a bespoke interior designer- took great care of each details, multiple relaxing areas area the features of his latest creation: each single corner of this manicured garden is a pleasure for eyes. You can choose from sunbathing on a lounger by the pool or linger on a comfortable armchair by the antique gate or under the gazebo by the church.

Set close to all main sights of Tuscany such as Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Pistoia, Montecatini Terme, Cinque Terre and San Gimignano, VILLA GIANNA is located just a short drive outside the hilltop town of Montecarlo, which has medieval roots along with modern amenities such as several groceries selling local harvested fruit, vegetable, cheeses, a wide assortment of shops, wonderful restaurants and many wineries that produce some of the most treasured wines and extra virgin olives oil.

Perfect location and property

We stayed for 40 days in this beautiful home. It fit our needs perfectly in that on rainy days it was a pleasure to just hang out at the house. Beds we great, bathrooms were very nice, kitchen was complete, and the outside was wonderful. We did not have a single complaint.

A family trip

We loved staying at the house with our 2 kids. the garden area is just gorgeous and very well maintained. The house is well equipped and there are ACs in the bedrooms but not in the kitchenliving room which made it hot to stay in during the peak of summer. The location is good but we learned that driving to different sights would take at least 1hrmore (Florence, Chianti, San gimignano etc)

Lovely, peaceful villa

Had a wonderful week relaxing here. Air conditioning in the bedrooms a godsend. Beds really comfy. Stunning gardens with lots of places to sunbathe or relax in the shade including a lovely little pool to cool off in. Only 10 mins drive from Montecarlo where there are four or five excellent restaurants. Ideal to explore Florence/Tuscany and the Appenines too. You need a car.

Perfecto villa

This villa was just amazing for my family. We had the best time. The communication with check in was great. If you need anything they were right there to help. Villa was right next to a church with the bell ringing. The pool was perfect and refreshing. Winery right next door.

Wonderful Stay

We just arrived home from a wonderful stay at Villa Gianna. Everything was perfect! The location of the house was ideal for getting around Tuscany (we had a rental car and there is an area on the property for parking). We really enjoyed visiting Lucca which is very near and a hidden gem of a city. Check in was very simple and Chiara was easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. We were there during a heatwave so the pool was heavily used! The air conditioning worked really well (the bedrooms each had their own units) and we did a small amount of food preparation and a load of laundry! Beds were comfortable and the outdoor areas were spacious but still cozy. We stayed at 5 different accommodation types during our month in Italy and Villa Gianna was my kids’ favourite!

Beautiful Villa ,Magical Stay!

I knew instantly when I saw the listing for this Villa that it stood apart from the others! In person though it is even more beautiful! The owner is a decorator and his home is like a showroom for his talent and taste. We even visited his design shop where we loved things everywhere we looked. The owner is very nice and even brought us breakfast one morning! To talk about our magical stay I must talk about the manager, Martina! From her beautiful welcoming smile to her unbelievable communication to help us know where to go, how to get there, and anything else we needed in a foreign country during our 10 night stay and beyond! The highlight of our stay was having Martina’s mother, Francesca and Chris come to the villa for a private cooking class and then they served us what we made like an upscale restaurant!! The location of this villa is perfect for making day trips to so many places and the town of Montecarlo is absolutely beautiful! Hands down this was the perfect choice and we would come back here in a heartbeat!
