Home Hill 16, Segromigno in Monte - Capannori - Lucca

A superb modern villa, a short drive from the atmospheric city of Lucca, Home Hill is a stylish holiday retreat for up to 16 guests, which has the bonus of being within walking distance of a restaurant. Divided into four brightly decorated apartments, two of which can be connected, the property offers completely flexible accommodation for groups of friends or families who wish to explore the delights of the region. Each has its own comfortably furnished living area, offering independence where desired, but there’s always the opportunity to come together somewhere in the spacious grounds.

Set in the fabulous garden behind the villa, the expansive private pool is surely the star of the show – and there’s another for just for toddlers, too. Surrounded by lawn and with a furnished sundeck, this is the ideal place to grab a few moments of relaxation, or to have some fun with the children. A glass pool house encloses a large dining area, along with a barbecue and pizza oven ready for cooking up delicious communal feasts, before putting up your feet and enjoying a cold glass of something chilled.

Our Thoughts
We love this contemporary villa for its beautiful gardens and enormous, inviting pool. It’s the ultimate in flexible accommodation, with four spacious independent apartments, each of which could house a small family – making this the ideal choice for families who wish to holiday together. The complimentary day at the beach club for high-season guests is a real bonus, as is the fact that there is a restaurant a short walk away.

Notes
Eight bedrooms. Five bathrooms, one en-suite. Twins in Basilico and Limone can be converted to doubles, if requested on booking. These two apartments can also be connected to make one larger property. The owners live in a separate area of the first floor of the villa and their dog roams freely in the garden. The property is near a main road, so some traffic noise can be heard. The rental price includes one day per week booked at a private beach club, which includes access to a large swimming pool, personal beach tent/parasol, sunbeds and chairs (only available during high season, Monday to Friday).

The huge pool is located in the garden behind the villa. It is surrounded by neat lawn dotted with trees and a tall hedge gives privacy from the neighbours. The pool is accessed by metal ladder steps at each end. To one side is a sun deck with sun beds and a table and chairs. On the other side is an artificial waterfall into the pool. There is also a shallow pool for toddlers. There is a well-equipped pool house, with dining area as well as three toilets and three showers. Pool size: 20m x 8m, and 1m-2m deep. Open May to September, weather permitting.
