Villa
Bellaria is a magnificently restored 18th-century farmhouse with 5 en-suite
bedrooms, located just 10 minutes from Lucca, 30 minutes from the popular beach
of Forte dei Marmi and 1 hour 20 minutes from the beauty of Florence. Its

40-acre landscape of peaks and valleys, rolling green hills and olive groves
