Historic villa in Tuscany between lake, beaches and art cities
Found us on Booking, Airbnb or Agoda? This is the official website of «Villa alle Rane - Lake, Beaches and Art in Tuscany».
Villa alle Rane is a historic villa in Tuscany with 350 sqm of interiors, a 1500 sqm private park, a pond and spaces designed for families and groups of up to 7 guests. An elegant and peaceful base between Lake Massaciuccoli, the Versilia beaches and the art cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
More than a holiday home. A villa to be lived at Tuscany’s authentic pace.
"Designed by architect Seresini in 1958, lived in for three generations by a family of Pisan physicians. Known in the area for its beauty."
The style belongs to the tradition of Italian postwar lowland villas. Acquired in 2023 and carefully restored, the villa preserves original floors, generous proportions and an atmosphere no boutique hotel can replicate.

Every room tells a story and every space invites you to slow down: breakfasts in the gazebo, reading on the veranda, dinners under the trees and children free to play in the park. Villa alle Rane is for those looking for an authentic, elegant and truly liveable villa in Tuscany.

Reviews
What guests say about us

★★★★★ 10/10
“A truly beautiful, homely and warm villa, where everything has been thought of. You immediately feel at home in your holiday place. We came back very relaxed. Everything was very clean, down to the smallest details. The children had been thought of too: lots of toys and, of course, the beautiful large garden. A holiday never to forget. Thank you, Laura, for everything.”

Your hosts
Who welcomes you at Villa alle Rane
Laura
Financial director
I'm a 50-year-old woman with lots of energy and a zest for life. Financial director of a company that builds sailing boats, I have worked for large groups and famous brands. This place immediately captivated me for its spaces and architectural layout. I tried to work on the interiors while respecting the villa's vintage atmosphere — I hope you appreciate the beauty of this place as much as I do!
Jonata
Former building contractor & craftsman
I'm a 50-year-old man with a passion for craftsmanship — I love taking care of things and people. A former building contractor, I now work for a small local coffee company. This house immediately sparked my imagination: found in a state of semi-abandonment, I was able to dream it into what it is today. I also built a few things — if you like the kitchen tables and the gazebo with tiles inspired by the style of Southern Italy... well, I made them!
