This is a typical farmhouse of the early 20th century, immersed in the Lucca countryside, surrounded by greenery and the scent of olive groves with a private panoramic swimming pool.   The location of Casa La Furbina is undoubtedly strategic thanks to its proximity to the beautiful and historic city of Lucca, in the heart of Tuscany, as well as to the nearby amenities which are all just a few kilometers away. The city of Lucca is a place known for the many nuances of food and wine, cultural and artistic history with names such as Puccini, Barsanti and Matteucci, Viani and others.   The house has been recently renovated by the current owners, keeping the charm of Tuscan farmhouses intact thanks to the restoration and use of materials originating from these areas, such as beams, trusses and stones.
