VILLA HUGO, Understated Luxury 5 Bedrooms Villa with Pool and a Welcoming Ambience

Set among acres of manicured gardens, the elegant VILLA HUGO transports you to a different era without sacrificing any modern luxury. Once a country residence Villa of the Trebiliani Family, the 13th-century villa has been fully restored into a 5-bedroom haven with hotel-worthy amenities. Particular consideration has been paid to the safety and the environment. An important photovoltaic system supports the villa's higher electricity consumption, and eco-sustainable fuels are used for heating in all rooms and for the use of hot water. Throughout the villa there are no pipes and no use of methane gas, this resulting in extreme safety. Nowadays the descendant of the family and his wife lives on one half of the building while guests can enjoy their privacy in their piece of history. Though it feels like its own world, the property is close to both Lucca, Florence, Pisa and the Versilia Coast.
Tucked among the manicured lawns and paths, you’ll find the Italian flowers orchard and organic fruit tree garden whose produce graces the dinner table. The grounds also include a salted-water pool with jetted jacuzzi corner and two wonderful pavilions that features amazing outdoor living areas. Have a drink at the luxury pool, whip up dinner on the grill and dine under the Tuscan sun and moon or under the pergola. Adults will appreciate a reliable Wi-Fi connection throughout as well as a loft grand living room featuring international channels.
VILLA HUGO’s interiors are classical and sumptuous, with cotto floors, original fireplace, plush upholstery, full drapes and plenty of chandeliers crowning the living spaces. A fully equipped kitchen is located on the ground floor with access to the outdoor veranda and its dining and living spaces. On the ground floor there is also an indoor dining room with tv and fireplace, so you can simply settle into the bright, airy Tuscan dining room to enjoy meals fresh from the garden and sample Italian wine. A bathroom completes the floor.
The villa’s five bedroom suites provide the same level of luxury and style; each has an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and its own sitting area. Two of the bedrooms with two ensuite bathrooms are located on the first floor, three more bedrooms with en suite bathrooms along with a salon/living room are located on the second floor.
VILLA HUGO’s prime location balances elegance and privileged location as a convenient access to Lucca (less than a 10 mins drive away) and other regions of Tuscany, featuring exceptional restaurants, nightlife spots and many local experiences such as Wine Tastings and Cooking Lessons in addition to its famous sightseeing sites. For sport lovers there is a tennis court just 200 meters away, and the river park is just 1 km away, offering beautiful walks or biking tours. Nearby gems include PISA (25 mins drive away), the Beaches of VIAREGGIO and FORTE DEI MARMI (25 mins drive away), FLORENCE (45 mins drive away), CINQUE TERRE (1 hour drive away), PISTOIA (30 mins drive away), MONTECARLO and the wine country of Lucca (15/20 mins drive away), MONTECATINI TERME Spa (20 mins drive away), SAN GIMIGNANO (1 hour and 15 mins drive away), BARGA (45 mins drive away), GARFAGNANA (35 mins drive away) and SIENA (less than 2 hours drive away).
Due to its location in the center of important communication routes and the privileged position in the plain, on the outskirts of Lucca, the villa was also the object of attention by the American armed forces during the Second World War, making it its headquarters in the period from March 1944 to May 1945, when the Gothic line that ran between the two Tyrrhenian and Adriatic seas was one of the most important war posts.

To ensure all the main Health & Safety standards the owners have installed a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector. Security cameras have also been installed outside to grant the most protection.
There is a fenced private parking within the estate and guests will also benefit of the use of a safe.
Five bikes are provided for guests at Villa Hugo with an extra fee.

Our goal is to deliver to our guest a unique and escellent experience, enhanced by the fairy-tale atmosphere of a Renaissance Residence where they can relax surrounded by secular olive groves.

Villa Hugo was a great location for us
Villa Hugo was a great location for our girls trip. We were able to do day trips to surrounding areas easily. And it was a fabulous place to start and end our days. It’s very tranquil with beautiful view, birds singing, and we were lucky to have good weather.

Excellent Villa!
This villa is amazing. The grounds are manicured extensively and the villa is setup really well for large groups and has plenty of space. We had a group of 9, with 4 kids. The grounds gave the kids plenty of room to run and play and swim. The location is great a well. Central to many great areas and close to anything you could want or need. But, most of all the hospitality shown by Mario and Gino was impeccable. They truly care about making sure their guests are comfortable in their stay.

Amazing family stay and this beautiful estate
What an extraordinary experience at this remarkable and authentic estate! We were captivated by the distinctive accommodations, from the expansive and meticulously maintained grounds to the comfort and modern amenities within this 13th-century gem brimming with historic charm. The location is ideal for a Tuscan vacation, conveniently near the charming town of Lucca and just a 30-minute drive from Pisa, as well as numerous wineries, restaurants, and attractions. We highly recommend it! The extra bedroom in the upstairs living room smells like cigarette smoke

Wonderful stay at Villa Hugo
Just back home after a wonderful stay at Villa Hugo with my family. We rented the villa for a two week holiday to celebrate my mum & dad’s 60th birthday. The villa itself is so beautiful, the room’s are so spacious and grand, the grounds are stunning as is the pool area. The seating areas are also lovely & comfortable. Beautiful decor throughout the villa. I would recommend to rent a car in advance when staying at this villa. We didnt, and we were unable to get one after arriving. We did get a quote from one company for two cars for 1 week which was over £2000. Which is so expensive! So we did not go ahead with that car hire company. It was around a 20 min walk to the local train station, where you can get into Lucca in 10 mins which is very handy and what we ended up using to get into Lucca a lot of the time. We found it a little difficult getting Taxi’s on our first night and first few days from the villa to supermarkets / Lucca. After being there a few days we worked out to download the local Lucca Taxi app that helped us massively. So i would recommend using this, the app is called ‘apptaxi’ The villa itself does not have too much around the local area. We found a small shop around a 20 min walk away, along with a little coffee shop and local restaurant. We loved visiting Lucca. Its such a beautiful city, and we also visited Florence for the day via train, and went on a boat trip to see the Cinque Terre. We also did a day trip to Pisa for the boat race on the river. The trains are great in Italy and such reasonable prices too. If you are thinking about booking a holiday here, do it! You will have a great time and make amazing memories! Only advice would be to pre book a car (for convenience of supermarket runs and visiting areas you cannot get to via train) and also using the cab app to easily access taxi’s

Beautiful Villa
Beautiful villa with everything you need, Nadia is amazing help with anything from taxis to booking boat trips etc. the house is incredible - the nicest Airbnb I have ever rented. We will 100% be back. Very close to Lucca in the car, 40 minutes from beautiful beaches at forte di Marmi. Each bedroom was so lovely and the decor is very nice

Tuscan luxury
An absolutely wonderful house on the outskirts of Lucca town. A very tastefully renovated house from the 13th century. Exquisite garden or should I rather say a private park behind a 2,5 meter high wall, surrounding the property. Modern facilities of a very high standard, yet the old style has been kept intact throughout the house. Excellent recreation areas outside, everything from the bbq spot to the patio and of course the pool area (salt water pool). The city of Lucca with shopping and restaurants is only a 10-15 minute trip by taxi. At this house one can really enjoy a nice vacation. Absolutely recommended!

Emotional Holiday!
It was wonderful in the Villa Hugo. We felt far removed from reality in another century - like three princesses in their elegant castle. We loved preparing meals in the great kitchen and then eating on the grandiose verandain the cozy kitchen. The whole house has been wonderfully and stylishly renovated and furnished by the friendly owners. We really enjoyed the huge bathrooms and taking a bubble bath in the royal bathtub was a pleasure. The incredibly large park with the beautiful pool - surrounded by the old curtain wall - was great. Every day we hoped that the lovable dog of the owner - Hugo - would come to visit us and we could stroke him. We were able to practice our yoga in the garden and in the huge light blue bedroom ( (Website hidden by Airbnb) Saying goodbye is not easy for us and every day we rave about the unforgettable days at Villa Hugo. Pure relaxation is the order of the day in this oasis of calm. Thank you very much Mario for your hospitality. Greetings from Kathrin, Nathalie and Janine

Excellent in every way!
We loved our stay at Villa Hugo. Everything was exactly like on the pictures - even better :) It is placed around 10 minutes by car away from the historical part of Lucca, in an industrial area - but we felt absolutely safe. The property owner which lives on the other side of the Villa was super helpful and friendly. We can highly recommend Villa Hugo.

Can not recommend Villa Hugo enough!
The rooms are exactly as shown (if not better) and the backyard is expansive and beautiful. We had so many glorious dinners out on the terrace and there are wonderful chefs you can hire to come to the property - we LOVED this. The touches around the house truly make the place feel like a home away from home. The owners (who live on the other side of the house) are incredibly sweet and wonderful - we were so happy to get to know them and their big sweet dog Hugo!! We never wanted to leave this property and we cannot wait to be back. Thank you so much Mario!
