Tuscan Heaven is an original olive press that has been charmingly restored to create a warm and welcoming home filled with original features. Built in the 16th Century, there are four delightful bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, and the reception rooms include a large and comfortable lounge and a spacious Tuscan kitchen, with an eat-in breakfast room. The gardens are surrounded by terraced olive groves with valley views across the swimming pool to the medieval towers of Lucca – the perfect place to enjoy relaxing summer evenings with close family and friends and experience a little piece of Tuscan heaven.

 

History

Olives have been collected from the terraced hillsides that surround Tuscan Heaven for centuries. Dating back to the 16th century as the private press for the Controni family who resided in the villa during the summer months, the Oil Mill was fully functional until 1997 collecting olives from the villagers of Vorno and pressing some of the best olive oil that Lucca has to offer. During its restoration, large and ancient terracotta vases were found embedded in the cellars that at one time would have held the freshly pressed oil which was a valuable and prized commodity.

Lucca, nestled in the heart of Tuscany, captivates visitors with its timeless allure and enchanting surroundings. This medieval city, encircled by Renaissance walls, exudes a historic charm that unfolds through cobbled streets, medieval towers, and grandiose churches. The city’s crown jewel, the Cathedral of St. Martin, stands proudly in the historic center, while the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro invites exploration with its vibrant atmosphere. Lucca’s expansive city walls not only provide panoramic views of the city but also serve as a delightful pathway for cyclists and pedestrians alike. Beyond Lucca, the Tuscan countryside beckons with rolling hills adorned with vineyards and olive groves, creating a picturesque landscape that embodies the region’s agricultural richness. Nearby, charming villages like Barga and Montecarlo offer a glimpse into rural Tuscan life, showcasing traditional architecture, local markets, and authentic culinary experiences.
