Villa Farfalla
Luxury villa for rent in lucca, tuscany
Artistic inspiration brings to life a unique creation known as Villa Farfalla. This dream place is a laboratory, a place of experimentation and meditation designed by the owners, both architects, artist and designer for the most famous Italian Companies.
The Villa, the guest house and the Pool are real jewels of contemporary architecture and technology immersed in the Tuscan nature. This extraordinary property is located in the first hills around Lucca. The panoramic view from the Villa is extraordinary, you can perceive the entire city of Lucca and its walls. The property consists of the main villa and the guesthouse in 10 hectares of olive groves and woods located on the nearest Lucca hills, 200 meters above the city, just at 10 minutes. An helicopter landing area is also available upon request on the property.
Both buildings with a total of 525 M2 are clinging on a hill of white marble like the one of Carrara located nearby, which internally has been exposed on three levels. The Architecture is very bright and transparent. It is thought in total harmony with nature which is omnipresent. Another feature, the iron shutters that shade in summer and catch the light deeply in winter.
The interior is organized around a spectacular staircase represented as a red dazzling evening dress. Rock of white marble is present in the house and appears on the three floors. Architecture, furniture, lamps, sculptures, almost everything has been conceived, designed and custom made for the villa by their owners. Sculptures from the wife are exposed inside and outside both properties.
The Villa was chosen as one of the most ecological and exceptional homes in Italy by National Geographic Channel.
The Hydraulic roof
The two wings of the roof of the villa and from the Guesthouse open in three bedrooms at a 30 ° angle like the wings of a butterfly. The four wings totaling 170 square meters open with 10 hydraulic pistons. This is the first house in the world with a hydraulic roof. This allows natural ventilation to cool the house and brings to the villa a very unique magic sensation of literally sleeping under the stars.
