			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lucca is a small city with a rich history, that is magically preserved. The Roman city, the Medieval city, the Renaissance city, the nineteenth century city: traces of all of these may still be found here.</p>
<p>A walk through the centre of Lucca becomes an exciting voyage through the centuries, through history.Apart from the significant monuments, such as the sixteenth-seventeenth century walls, Lucca stands out for its atmosphere and lively centre.<span id="more-15"></span></p>

<p>Simply look down from above, from one of its towers, or wander through the narrow, tortuous Medieval streets: the white marble of superb Romanesque churches, the orange-red or the thirteenth-fourteenth century buildings, the grey of the paving stones, the green of the vegetation peeping out all over that heightens the powerful size of the ramparts and the surfaces of the Walls that rise, almost unreal, out of the lawns of grass. Lucca will inevitably seduce you. Its appeal is probably the result of the city&#8217;s history.</p>
<p>Over the centuries, the city has cultivated its unusual diversity mixed with contradictions. Ever jealous of its autonomy, Lucca was an independent city-state up to 1847, on the threshold of the unification of Italy. The city was traditionally close to the papacy, but in the mid-1500s it became one of the capitals of the Reformation (between 1542 and 1545, the city was home to Piero Martire Vermigli and Bernardo Ochino). It was proudly enclosed within its walls (which the Luccans bought back from the State) but, with its merchants and its silk, it remained active for centuries in the main European markets.Lucca has many beautiful attractions.</p>

<p>The many romanesque churches, such as San Michele, the Duomo of San Martino and the Basilica of San Frediano, should not be missed.<br />
Inside the Duomo, the visitor is stunned by the elegance and loveliness of the fifteenth century monument to Ilaria del Carretto sculpted by Jacopo della Quercia and the austere solemnity of Girlandaio&#8217;s Sacra Conversazione. In San Frediano, which recalls the First Roman Early Christian churches, the mosaic on the façade is splendid, as is the fresco cycle by, the Bolognese Amico Aspertini, within.<br />
A walk along even a section of the walls is not to be missed.</p>
<p>The ramparts, thirty meters wide at the base and still in their original state, cover over four kilometers. With their vegetation, they make a highly original public park from which it is possible to enjoy views of the city and the surrounding hills.</p>

<p>A trip to the Torre Guinigi is highly recommended. It offers a fabulous view; but it is also one of the city&#8217;s symbols, if for no other reason then the trees planted on the top.<br />
Along the same route , a visit should be made to the ninenteenth century Piazza Anfiteatro, built on the remains of the ancient Roman Amphitheatre.</p>
<p>Then, carry on to Giacomo Puccini’s house (now a museum), and further on, to Via del Battistero. This street is renowned world wide for its antique dealers.</p>
<p>The antique market on the third Sunday of every month is also famous. For thirty years, it has drawn innumerable antique lovers to the city&#8217;s squares and streets.</p>

<p>Nestled in the splendid hills of Tuscany, cradled between olive groves and vineyards, and only 5 kilometers from Lucca, lies the magnificent villa complex &#8220;Il Borghino&#8221;.<br />
We tried to maintain in this group of old houses the original character of the village. It features a communal area &#8211; a place where people can spend time together.<br />
Inside, it is welcoming and homey as well as being both comfortable and modern.<br />
Completely restored combining traditional materials with new technology and furnished in local Tuscan style, the accommodation offers you elegant and traditional living.</p>
<p>The rooms are large, simple and finely well-furnished with fabulous views from every window.<br />
We have taken care to offer you every facility: to meet your needs and give you privacy.<br />
Take advantage of the wonderful heated swimming pool and Jacuzzi and relax in the area around it. The communal area &#8220;L&#8217;Olivo&#8221; has a fitness centre with gym and Turkish bath, as well as a large room with a fireplace, barbecue and kitchen which can be used for special occasions.<br />
&#8220;Il Borghino&#8221; offers all of this plus it is in a sunny position with a dry and mild climate ( due to its nearness to the sea) making it enjoyable all year round</p>
