Villa Mina 10 to 22
Elegant historic Villa between Florence and Lucca : Palaia
Villa Mina is an imposing 18th-century villa surrounded by its own grounds planted with vineyards, olive groves and woods of evergreen oaks. It has recently been restored and transformed into a comfortable villa with space for 20 guests in 10 bedrooms, or 22 if you use a sofa-bed.
The villa has a spectacular pool on a natural panoramic terrace looking out over the surrounding vineyards, as well as a smaller pool for children (6×6 and 50 cms. depth). In front of the villa a large umbrella shades a large area for alfresco outdoor dining. The interiors are spacious and decorated with old-fashioned elegance, with large old-school paintings on the walls and comfortable sofas.
Set near Palaia, the villa is just over half an hour from Pisa airport and within easy reach of Florence, Lucca, Siena and the Chianti wine region.
Accommodation
The villa is antique with floors in cotto and stone, beautiful vaulted ceilings, and simple details that speak to the age of the villa. The decor is elegant and makes for a luminous and comfortable ambience.
The main lounge has vaulted ceilings and a large fireplace, and, being next to the kitchen, provides space for genial cooking classes. The second lounge is more elegant and colorful, and is perfect for enjoying traditional Tuscan dishes accompanied by a good glass of wine in the company of family and friends.
The bedrooms on the first floor (the 'piano nobile') are spacious and elegant and all have ensuite bathrooms. On the second floor the bedrooms are in a more rustic style, but also all have airconditioning and ensuite bathrooms. Three cots are available on request.

How to book
Is Villa Mina perfect for you?
For availability and pricing see the calendar above. To book online click on your desired arrival date, then on the departure date. The calendar will grey out dates for stay lengths that are not accepted - most villas book Sat to Sat but many also allow shorter stays or odd dates.
If you have any questions or would like help choosing, we visit our properties regularly and can help you select the best villa for your holidays.
We can hold dates for you for 48 hours while you make sure everything lines up, then you simply pay the deposit (30% of total) to secure your booking. The balance will then be due 10 weeks before you travel.
Easy cancellation
Simply add "XCover" to your booking for a full refund if you can't travel. For more details see our Booking Conditions and XCover. You can add XCover to your booking at any time until you have paid your balance, ask your agent. If you simply need to change your dates please let us know: we can often modify your booking rather than cancelling outright.
Worth knowing
Many local administrations now charge a “Tourist Tax” for people staying in rented accommodation and these vary from town to town. The charges are generally per person per night with a maximum number of nights, usually around 5 but sometimes 7, beyond which they will not charge. The charges range between 50 cents to 5 euro. Children are sometimes included, sometimes not and these charges should be collected by the property owners.
Not sure?
It can often be faster to contact us to ask for advice - we visit all the houses so can give you first hand advice based on your wishlist. Once you find a villa you like we can hold dates for you for around 48 hours while you check flights or make sure everybody is on board.
