Stunning Tuscan Luxury Villa with Private Pool and 360 degree Panoramic Views

This beautiful and elegant Tuscan villa, with a full-sized private swimming pool and set in a country estate of 34 acres, is ideal for a large group of friends or family who want to enjoy spacious tasteful accommodation, a peaceful environment with breathtaking views - only a short drive from the lovely spa town of Bagni di Lucca. Here are some reasons for choosing La Dioma:
- Charming unspoilt part of Tuscany in an area of natural beauty and tranquility - low key tourism with many reasonably-priced restaurants, pizzerias and bars.
- Villa located on the edge of a pretty medieval village only 10 minutes from the vibrant town of Bagni di Lucca situated on banks of river Lima with shops, markets, spa resort with thermal waters, and many local festivals.
- Property situated at the end of a private road with no immediate neighbours.
- Truly breathtaking south-facing location with all day sunshine and uninterrupted 360º views of surrounding mountains dotted with medieval villages. La Dioma is the only property in Guzzano with a panoramic view of Bagni di Lucca and the Lima valley, spectacularly lit up at night.
- Traditional Tuscan farmhouse on three levels, more than 200 years old and tastefully restored with many original features including rock walls, cotto and chestnut beamed ceilings, and fireplaces.
- Wi-Fi, flat-screen smart TVs, yEnglish TV channels, Internet channels such as Netflix, and other mod cons.
- Full large kitchen/diner fully equipped with modern appliances, fireplace and wood burner.
- Spectacular lounge with wood burner and panoramic patio doors to terrace and outside eating area.
- Six double bedrooms - four extremely spacious with modern en-suite bathrooms, plus a family bathroom and downstairs cloakroom.
- Magnificent outside paved terrace on two fronts of the property with car parking for up to four vehicles, barbecue, large stone dining table under shaded gazebo, smaller dining table, and sunbathing areas.
- Private full sized swimming pool (11.5m x 5m) sunken into an extensive paved terrace with shaded gazebo, extended WiFi to pool area, dining area, and plenty of sunbeds for a large group . Uninterrupted amazing views whilst swimming!
- 34 acres of olive groves, meadows and woods with freshwater streams.
- An Italian cook can be arranged to prepare four course traditional Tuscan meals or pizzas at the villa at very economic prices.
It is hardly surprising that La Dioma is known locally as Paradiso!

30th Anniversary Trip with Family
The Villa was absolutely perfect for 8 of us - my husband & I plus 3 of our adult children each with their partner. All couples enjoyed a large room with bathroom, and there were still 2 extra bedrooms unused. The large deck was wonderful, pool and view magnificent. The only drawback was the road leading to the Villa is extremely narrow and not accessible with a van or large vehicle. We highly recommend if staying in Tuscany/Florence area.

Beautiful house in the hills
Lovely villa in a beautiful location. The house is very comfortable and has everything you we needed. The kitchen was really well equipped. The lounge was huge and the smart tv was a bonus. Bedrooms were large and beds comfy. Most rooms have an en suite too. The outside areas are perfect for eating with the backdrop of Tuscan hills and view over Bagni Di Lucca. The pool is perfect and has lots of sun loungers. There are lots of nice restaurants, towns and other things to explore nearby. Overall the villa was excellent and very private. The owners were very helpful too.

Great family holiday
We had the most wonderful week at this property. It is extremely well provisioned and the accommodation is magnificent. The weather was very hot and we ate out every mealtime. We were able to keep the house cool by careful management of the shutters despite the very hot temperature. We had an issue with the wifi which the owners were very helpful in sorting out as promptly as was possible. The position of the property is absolutely stunning, with wonderful views. We were a family group with a 4 month old and couldn't have wished for a better place to relax together.

Villa La Dioma
What an absolutely beautiful spot. The Villa was everything we hoped for and the view was spectacular! Cuoco Adriana made us a fabulous meal on our second night. The road down to the villa is a bit tricky but we mastered it on no time. Just be patient and slow. The location was perfect for our travels to Pisa , Firenze and Cinque Terre! Each doable in a day and back in time for a late dinner on the terrace. Make sure you leave enough room for the garbage man to turn around or you will hear him yell throughout the valley. Thank you Patricia and John for sharing your beautiful villa!

Beautiful house with an amazing view!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay near Bagni di Lucca, a lovely area we'd not visited before. The property was perfect for our group, wonderfully clean with all we needed, and lots of space to spread out. The pool had the most spectacular location and was perfect for lazy afternoons (and mornings, and evenings!) A particular highlight was a meal prepared by Adriana, which was delicious on the night - and kept us fed for several more! I can't recommend the property highly enough!

John and Patricia could not have been more accommodating. Responding quickly to every inquiry.
Like many previous commentaries, it is an adventure first finding the villa. Me missed the last turn, but had assistance from friendly neighbors, who redirected us. Once you get used to the drive from Bagni di Lucca, it is relatively easy. Small cars or small SUV’s work best. We had a fabulous meal from Adriana and enjoyed the pool and the view. Traveled to several towns, including Cinque Terra, Viareggio and Lucca. Highly recommend the villa for couples or families.

Absolutely wonderful experience. The views, the property and pool are exceptional . Plenty of space for nine big people. Heed the owners warning regarding only bringing a small car. Access is a bit hair raising but definitely worth it. Communication with owners simple, efficient and warm. Simply a lovely stay. I hope that we will be back.

Amazing!!
Hard to describe how magical our stay was! The location and the home are absolutely beautiful! We had 12 people with 2 families and were very comfortable. We cooked most of our meals in the home with a big fire in the stove. I was concerned about being cold in such a big home in the winter but we were toasty warm the entire time just using the fireplaces. We rarely even turned on the heaters. We rented a 9 passenger van for our family which worked just fine as long as you are patient in making the corners on the road to the home. We felt like it was centrally located as we took day trips to Rome, Venice and Cinque Terre. It was a lot of driving but so worth it! We all looked forward to relaxing with the amazing view when we got home! We would love to go back in the summer to utilize the pool! Thank you so much for sharing your home and answering so many of my questions. Memories with my kids I will treasure forever.

Five star stay!
We spent nearly two weeks at La Dioma in October of 2019 and it was just what we were looking for. We wanted a quiet place to escape and restore during a time of sabbatical from work and other commitments and this certainly was an excellent choice. While the drive from Bagni Di Lucca is intimidating, after several days we were navigating it (nearly) like the locals. DO NOT attempt a large vehicle as there are several very tight passages in Guzzano just before you arrive at the house and take caution on the many curves on the road approaching. Take your time,,,the locals may tailgate, honk and be frustrated with you but in the end what matters is arriving safely. The views from the home are of course stunning and the seclusion was welcomed as the neighboring homes are a bit of a distance away. The traditional stone, tile and timber home was beautiful, clean and well cared for inside and out. Housekeeping came mid-stay for new linens and a cleanup which was welcomed. It was too cold to use the pool but we would have felt very private had we done so. The home itself is furnished well and although there were only two of us it would certainly host a large group well. Dining at Bar Santini in San Cassiano was delightful and we had a few informal meals in BDL but we prepared most of our meals in the well equipped kitchen at home. Definitely take advantage of the markets in Fornoli and Bagni Di Lucca on the given days to collect your produce and other items. The several supermarkets in town had most all we needed. Prices at both restaurants and grocers were surprisingly reasonable with our nicest four course meals costing €30-40 for the two of us! We had a cook come in to prepare a meal one evening which was fantastic and would have fed six people and the fee was very reasonable! There are too many cute little towns and restaurants to list but one of our favorites was the cliff city of Montefegatesi. Make sure to walk to the top to see the view from the Dante memorial as it is breathtaking! Most of the locals do not speak English but with our little bit of Italian, Google Translater and a good deal of sign language and gesturing we made out well and it added to the adventure! If your only experience in Italy has been Rome, Florence, Pisa, etc, we can highly recommend visiting this most beautiful part of this very special country and can highly recommend La Dioma!

One of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed at. We has such a fantastic week at La Dioma that it was hard to leave the house to explore the local area! Sitting out on the terrace or by the pool taking in the stunning view was just too wonderful. We did make it out to Lucca and Isola Santa however which were both well worth the visit. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic house - we didn’t want to leave!

Beatiful week undet the Tuscan sun!
Had a great time in this wonderful house. It was so comfortable and we had plenty of room for our two children, sons in law, and 3 grandchildren ages 6, 3 and 6 months. The ride up to the house was an experience the first few times but then we became very comfortable with the trip. We only used the pool once because we were out and about, but loved the whole setting and views were spectacular

There were eight of us, all adults, staying at this villa and it was perfect for us. It felt well maintained, almost new, and the position and outlook were exceptional.

Absolutely stunning views
If I could give 10 stars for the views, I would! The home is set in the mountains above Bagni di Lucca and has nearly 360 degree views of from the terrace. Words almost cannot describe it - I felt peaceful and happy waking up to it every morning. The house itself fairly easily fit all 12 of our guests (and nearly all rooms had their own full bathroom). Our 8 kids loved the pool (although were a little surprised it was salt water). Just a few things to be prepared for - the house is hard to access. We had a 9 passenger mini van and could not even enter the little village leading to the home so had to park on the edge of the villlage and walk. The road leading from Bagni di Lucca to the house is very scary to drive until you get used to it. Lots of Italians driving very fast - be sure to beep your horn as you go around the corners. The house itself also lacked a few things - there is only one garbage can for recycles but you then you have to take it to the village and separate them into paper, plastic, etc. We also did a lot of dishes because there didn't seem to be enough cups for our group. Also note there is no air conditioning and unfortunately no screens on the windows (and lots of bugs!). My city kids had a very hard time with the heat since they didn't want to leave the windows open and sleep with critters. We just kept telling them that this was the Tuscan experience! Overall a fine house.

Bella vacanza!
Siamo stati qui in tre famiglie con bambini e siamo stati benissimo. Spazi ampi anche dentro casa, proprietari super gentili e disponibili.in estate con l'uso della piscina deve essere ancora meglio! La casa è isolata, i bambini hanno giocato molto anche all'esterno, senza disturbare nessuno. Da lì siamo andati a Lucca, Pisa, zoo di Pistoia (NB i tempi sono lunghi, ci vuole un'oretta di macchina per andare a Lucca e anche di più a Pisa). Unica pecca della casa: abbiamo trovato molte stoviglie/pentole sporche e alcune cimici morte in giro per casa.

Paesaggi mozzafiato perfetto per gruppi di amici
Abbiamo prenotato la casa in 12 per festeggiare capodanno, passando questi giorni in perfetta tranquillità. La casa è situata in un paesino a 10 minuti da Bagni di Lucca, la strada per arrivare alla casa è molto stretta (una macchina utilitaria ci passa con uno scarto di 10/20 cm per lato dalla gomma). Da tenere in considerazione anche un tratto di salita sterrato che in caso di grandi carichi a bordo e pioggia, rende difficoltoso l'accesso alla casa. Cucina ben fornita, e la sala presenta un panorama bellissimo sulle colline limitrofe grazie alla grande vetrata. Le camere matrimoniali sono spaziose, le due camere singole più piccole ma comunque molto comode. La casa presenta una bassissima insonorizzazione fra le camere, si sentiva tutto quello che si diceva al piano terra fino al terzo piano. Altro punto a sfavore è la raccolta differenziata, pur portando i bidoni al punto di ritiro subito sopra l'abitazione non sono mai passati a ritirarli, ed essendo una casa per 12 persone, i bidoni sono troppo piccoli si riempono subito. Apparte queste piccolezze, abbiamo passato una vacanza bellissima e di relax, ringrazio ancora i proprietari per la gentilezza e disponibilità.

Uovertruffet skønt feriehus
En sand perle, beliggende med uspoleret udsigt over bjerge og dale og Bagni di Lucca. Indbegrebet af toscanske idyl. Helt fantastisk! Alt i huset er velfungerende. Vi fandt det fordelagtigt, at hvert soveværelse havde eget privat badeværelse. Dejlig stor overdækket terrasse med et fantastisk view. Poolen er stor, rummelig og aflukket; med lille overdækket område, så det også er muligt at komme i skyggen. Poolen ligger ca 50 meter fra huset, hvilket vi syntes var en fordel pga børn. Vi kan kun sige det bedste om vores kommunikation med værtsparret, Patricia og John. Der bliver taget godt hånd om os som gæster. På deres anbefaling og med deres hjælp fik vi arrangeret, at en italiensk kok lavede mad til os en aften. Det kan anbefales. Der var (er) hedebølge under vores ophold, så det eneste lille ønske kunne være aircondition. Vi kommer SÅ gerne tilbage igen!!!!!
