Overview
Description
"Friends of Tuscany Ltd." manage all aspects of your villa booking with tailored information to get the most from your holiday. We can help to arrange a shopping delivery service, home made meal on arrival, wine tours, children’s activities, wild swimming spots, festivals, events, and restaurant recommendations based on our personal knowledge of the area built up during over 30 years as a specialist agency.Villa Mori is an elegant, beautifully restored 17th Century Tuscan villa standing in 1½ acres of gorgeous private gardens with a hunting lodge and converted stable house. Immersed in the incomparably beautiful green countryside and vineyards of the area around Lucca called Vicopelago.
Altogether 28 people can be accommodated in 14 rooms. The main villa is also accessible to wheelchair users, with a lift to the higher level and spa area below.
Villa Mori estate is completely enclosed by ancient walls and is gated. Due to its charming landscape, this area of Lucca was favoured by the nobles of the time for building their country houses.
After its fabulous restoration, the main villa now has a beautiful ballroom or dining room, seating up to 50 people with double height glass doors opening on to the garden. Six luxurious bedrooms with hand painted walls and ceilings, a superbly equipped professional chefs kitchen, a grand salon, library, TV room with Sky TV and a study complete this stunning home. A lift to all the floors and spa is discreetly incorporated into the building.
The owners have taken care to preserve the stunning original features including stone fireplaces, pillars and other features. Original beams and terracotta tiled floors have been restored and frescoes, soft furnishings and rugs of the highest quality have been added. The owners have successfully fused history with a contemporary feel, creating a wonderfully elegant home.
Luxurious spa facilities have also been added, including a Turkish bath and sauna (with programmable music, lighting and scent), showers, ice room and a mineral salt wall in the relaxation area.
In addition, within the hunting lodge, a few metres from the villa, there are 4 luxury apartments, and in the former stables near to the pool there is another luxury 2 bedroomed house.
It is possible to rent either the main Villa Mori on its own, sleeping up to 12 people, without the apartments which would remain empty ensuring that the pool and all facilities are private for the use of the villa residents only. Or the villa and the apartments are all rented together, sleeping up to 28 people.
The apartments in the fabulous hunting lodge at Villa Mori have recently undergone restructuring in the typical Tuscan manner retaining beautiful original floors and chestnut beamed ceilings.
The furnishings are of the highest standard with designer fabrics. The colour schemes and attention to detail is tasteful and relaxing. All the apartments have en-suite bathrooms, modern kitchens, dining areas and lovely lounge areas.
In the front, a green lawn contrasts pleasantly with the traditional dark pink of the hunting lodge, and relaxing moments in the open air can be enjoyed under a delightful pergola of wisteria.
The fantastic pool is the only one of its kind (16 x 9 metres, max depth 1.5 metres). The pool has a slipway, with the water being constantly filtered by a technique which avoids the use of chlorine. There is a hydro massage area with seating so that even small children can use it. The surrounding lawn has high quality cushioned sun beds for relaxing in. Wi-fi is available at the poolside.
There is a children’s play area on the lawn to the side of the villa.
There are horse riding stables, tennis courts and a golf driving range nearby and it is a 30 minute walk (10 min drive) to the fabulous medieval centre of Lucca, the home of the great opera writer, Puccinni.
The beauty of the villa, its pool and grounds and the bright rooms of the apartments with their lovely furniture and red terracotta floors, ensure that a holiday spent at Villa Mori will be relaxing, comfortable and pleasing to the eye. Throughout the villa there is air conditioning, wi-fi in every room. The villa has staff available for 6 days per week, and additional maid service and daily or occasional catering and transport services can be arranged.
A daily chef can be arranged for all or some meals including breakfast.
There is a wine cellar and a professional sommelier is available to provide wine tastings.
Massages and treatments can also be provided in the fine spa within the villa, or by the poolside.
Ideal for exclusive weddings in Tuscany, caterers and other wedding services including entertainment are available.

Wedding week and reception
By Mick W on 27-Jun-2018We rented Villa Mori for one week in June 2018 to get married at. On viewing the property, we just knew straight away it was ‘The One’. A beautiful place in the heart of the Lucca countryside. There was plenty of space for our wedding party in the villa along with the use of the fienile. Silvia along with her staff made us feel very welcome and handled all the niggles that tend to pop up in these sorts of situations. The fixtures and fittings, the pool and the lovingly tended to grounds were all gorgeous. We would recommend the place to anyone looking for somewhere to escape to with family and friends. Thanks to Silvia or creating the ideal backdrop to our wedding day, and indeed week.
Incredibile soggiorno a Villa Mori
By Samira on 13-Sep-2018Siamo stati a Villa Mori con i nostri amici (gruppo di 21 persone) per una settimana ed è stato di gran lunga il miglior soggiorno di vacanza che abbiamo avuto negli anni. Silvia, proprietaria della proprietà, e il suo staff si sono presi cura di noi così bene. La villa è straordinariamente bella - una struttura autentica del XV secolo, rinnovata in modo impeccabile con il gusto più raffinato della stessa Silvia. Tutti i servizi sono completamente moderni all''interno e molto confortevoli. Gli spazi interni ed esterni della casa sono ben illuminati e ben disposti per i grandi gruppi che cercano di radunare i pasti e rilassarsi. La piscina è fantastica come sono i giardini. Siamo stati in grado di utilizzare la loro lavatrice e tutte le domande che abbiamo avuto, il suo staff era sempre disponibile ad aiutare. Il servizio di colazione da Lido e James era anche incredibile e l''inizio perfetto per ogni mattina. La villa si trova anche a Lucca, una delle mete più ambite in Toscana. Consiglio vivamente Villa Mori a tutti i miei amici!
Amazing villa

Amazing villa for our large group
By Libby on 24-Jun-2019We rented all 14 bedrooms for a birthday celebration with adults and kids ranging in ages from 4-22. The main villa is stunning and elegant. Everyone had their own space and privacy. The pool has is beautiful and charming and kids slept on pull-out couch comfortably. The four apartments in red building fit many families and had a charming farm house feel. Everyone was delighted with accommodations. Pool area is stunning and peaceful. Breakfast on back veranda was heaven every morning. We had chef dinner at villa four nights—each very different and perfect. Pizza in wood burning outdoor oven, casual buffet on arrival night, elegant gourmet birthday dinner, authentic tuscan sit-down dinner— each delicious and special. The chef, server, housekeepers, and house manager were all top-notch and helpful. The owner is on property if any emergency but we never saw her after first day welcome and we felt complete privacy. We woke every morning to the sounds of birds and church bells in the distance. Many great day-trips within short driving distance— Lucca is charming and was our base, also visited Forte dei Marmi, Florence, Cinque Terre, Chianti wineries. A perfect week at a perfect villa!
