Historic Casa Joanna (al Mariti) is situated in the charming traditional village of Vorno, a delightful gathering of rustic stone farm houses and majestic villas set in the lush country side at the foot of Monte Zano in Northern Tuscany. Vorno is famous for royal families of the past who designed and built their summer villas in this tranquil, temperate village just south of Lucca. Chosen for its beauty, the views of the rolling Tuscan hills and the ever so slightly cooler temperature in the summer, Vorno became the home of some of the most amazing villas in Tuscany. Located within the walls of Villa Valentina Estate, Casa Joanna has it's own hedge garden, separate entrance and parking. The house was designed and constructed in a grand style well over a century ago. The 4 metre high ceilings on the piano terra give an open spacious feel to the rooms with a large chandeliers hanging from the brick-laied vaults. A terrace provide al fresco dining for up to 12 guests, partly shaded by an old cherry tree. The delightful garden of terracotta pots, fruit trees, local flowers and scented climbers of jasmine and honey suckle create a truly Tuscan feel. The 3 bedroom house is rented by week.
