Villa Segale is an 12th century stone farmhouse with a spectacular panoramic view of the Tuscan countryside. From the property, you can see Lucca, Pisa and the coast. This 96 acre estate of vineyards, olive groves and woodland is located on a hill outside of Lucca, near the tiny village of San Macario al Monte. The setting is peaceful and private.
