On a south-facing slope of the gentle sloping hills of Lucca, Italy, lies the Fattoria di Fubbiano, 45 hectares estate comprised of vineyards, olive groves and woods. There, winters are mild and a cornucopia of wild flowers begins blooming as early as January.

At Fubbiano they are committed to nurture the exceptional agricultural potential of their property by developing exciting groves and vines and diversifying their products while promoting indigenous varieties of olives and grapes. They strongly believe in maintaining the delicate balance of a biological ecosystem and only use traditional organic products to protect their vines from diseases. Weed-killers or insecticides are never applied.

They have revived the traditional way of rural life and faithfully restored the estate’s original buildings, in order to retain their unique architectural character and to offer their guests the chance to experience a pleasant stay in a special rural setting. The main products of the Fubbiano estate are their award-winning extra virgin olive oil and our DOC Colline Lucchesi wines that we also sell at their farm shop.

Their farm offers several types of accommodation: three independent villas with private garden and swimming pool and five apartments. All houses are fully equipped with crockery, silverware, glasses and pans, as well as sheets and towels, which are changed weekly. The estate also has a round swimming pool, to which all our guests have access.

The Villa, set among olive groves and vineyards that were already listed in tax records as far back as 1392, is the heart of the estate. Built towards the end of the 17th century, its square design, four-sided roof, private chapel, central staircase and mouldings carved from the local grey stone, are typical of the Lucca area.

It is surrounded by a beautiful garden and shady ilex trees, where a gentle staircase leads to the 17th century fountain, sorrounded by maidenhair fern and fragrant with moss and violets. The Fubbiano estate also belongs to the Ville Lucchesi and Lucca in Villa Associations and is entitled to use the official trademark of the Villas of Lucca, granted by the Lucca Chamber of Commerce, which guarantees the quality of the products and an appropriate use of the historical and artistic heritage represented by the Villas of Lucca.
