Join Ally Maz and Benjamin Fuller Todd for an unforgettable Tuscan vacation nestled into the Tuscan Hills of Lucca, Italy. This retreat is seven days of perfectly curated yoga & breathwork, excursions & exploration, food & wine, and plenty of poolside relaxation. Meals in house are prepared by private chefs and all wine is sourced locally.
Once owned by one of the most noble families in Tuscany, this updated villa is the perfect place for your next getaway. Tucked in the hills of Tuscany, this historic property comfortably accommodates 12 guests.
The origins of this historic estate date back to between the 17th and 18th century. The structures and magnificent grounds that surround them are influenced by the architectural novelties introduced in the area around Lucca by the architects of the Late-Baroque and Enlightenment. The Italian style garden, an enlightened concept, is home to a lovely and recently built swimming pool, perfect for cooling down during hot summer days and fully enjoying the surrounding nature. Complete with cultivated lands of vineyards and olive groves, the property is ideal for those who wish to have modern comforts while surrounded by the atmosphere of times gone by.
The Villa Orsetti is owned and operated by an American family with a love of travel and adventure. Villa Orsetti provides guests with extensive amenities, including 24/7 concierge, private chefs, cooking class, yoga and self development classes, access to hiking trails and beautiful gardens, large pool and a beautiful outdoor lounge and dining area.
Having found a place that merged their love for country side beauty and historic Italian cities, they are proud to share this wonderful property with their guests, and wish you a pleasant and relaxing vacation in Italy!
