Some of Our Favorite Villas

Rosenclaire House is perfect for a retreat from city life, close to the spa town of Bagni di Lucca and within the heart of Northern Tuscany for easy access to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, the coast and ski resorts.

The Rosenclaire House, built in the 1700s, is lovingly named after two women, Rose Shakinofsky and Claire Gavronsky, who so beautifully restored the house to its rustic charm in 1991. They also painstakingly uncovered the fresco in the living room. As artists from South Africa, their creative and loving presence is felt throughout.

Looking out the house windows, take in wonderful views of the Alps, chestnut forests, and villages nestled in the hillsides of the Garfagnana region—Italy’s best kept secret! House includes master bedroom & bath, large sunroom with sitting area, game table, library and day bed, two additional bedrooms, modern bathroom, laundry room, huge living/dining room with a table for 16 people, kitchen with fireplace and table for four, and foyer with books and brochures for attractions all over northern Tuscany. Linens and towels provided. A rental car is recommended.

Rates $1000 per week - Multi week discounts available.
