About
Villa Colombai is the ideal accommodation for a family or group of friends up to 12 people who want to visit the main attractions of Tuscany, because of its strategic position only 5 km away from the highway connecting Florence, Pistoia, Montecatini (Thermal Baths), Lucca, Pisa, Viareggio (seaside), Forte dei Marmi and other famous places. During your stay we will be available for any request or necessity you may have, or to advise you concerning places to visit or tailor-made itineraries. We speak English and Italian. We also organise wine-tasting tours, chocolate-tasting tours, pecorino-tastings tours, cooking classes, our most famous Pizza Chef workshop, dinners and lunches at the villa with private chef, etc.. Villa Colombai is a luxury property in Tuscany, more than 100 years old. Villa Colombai is located in the village of Orentano, in a borough named Colombai, only 18km away from Lucca. The villa has been thoroughly restored and equipped with an elegant swimming pool, entirely lined with authentic “travertine” stone, filled with salt water and recently (2019) equipped with a new heating system that let the water reach a temperature of 28° C (82,40° F) with an air temperature of 5° C (41° F). Moreover it has a pleasant whirlpool area on one side, amusing and refreshing. The luxury swimming pool measures 12 x 6 m, and varies from 1,10 m to 1,60 m of depth. By the pool there is an external warm shower to wash off the salt as soon as you come out of the pool. Around the pool there are parasols, deck chairs, sun beds and tables to sunbathe, relax and read. You can also have fun playing table tennis, table football or soccer in the field equipped with goals that is part of the large enclosed property of Villa Colombai. There is a playground area for small children in the garden. In 2016 we equipped the Villa with a traditional firewood oven near the solarium where our famous Pizza Chef Workshop takes place and a half bathroom. Near the kitchen there is a wonderful very large veranda with a large travertine table and chairs, where you can sit, eat together, read or play cards after dinner.
