Discover Tuscany by staying in a charming Liberty (Italian Art Nouveau) house nestled in the peaceful countryside of Orentano. The house, located in a traditional courtyard, is named after one of its early owners, who carefully renovated the property at the beginning of the 20th century, adding the Liberty details popular at the time. Surrounded by a spacious garden, Villa Argentina offers an oasis of peace and authenticity, ideal for those seeking a genuine Tuscan experience. Guests can enjoy various outdoor areas, including a space equipped with chairs and a table in front of the main facade, perfect for relaxing, and a refreshing pergola to the north, ideal for hot summer days and outdoor dining in the evening. Villa Argentina is perfect for lovers of slow tourism and tranquility, offering an ideal base to explore the main attractions of Tuscany (just a few kilometers from Lucca, Pisa, Pistoia, and less than an hour from Florence). Enjoy the serenity of the countryside and the authenticity of a historic residence in one of the most enchanting places in Italy.

Hello! I’m Stefano, a filmmaker and director with a passion for art in all its forms. I’ve always been fascinated by the Liberty style, and when we first saw this house, we immediately fell in love with it. However, the house was definitely too large for just the two of us, so we rolled up our sleeves and embarked on a hands-on, conservative restoration. We created a place open to those who, like us, appreciate the charm and history of old homes. Villa Argentina (the name we chose in honor of one of its first owners) is, above all, our home. Here, we are always working on some detail, finishing a room, or restoring a piece of furniture. We are almost always available for any request or need, and we would be happy to share with you our passion for Art Nouveau and authentic Tuscany.

This corner of Tuscany is perfect for those who love nature and culture. We are close to the Via Francigena and its important stop at Altopascio. Don’t miss the Sibolla Lake Nature Reserve, ideal for walks among local fauna and flora. In Collodi, the Pinocchio Park is perfect for families, while the historic Garzoni Garden offers fountains and mazes. The Cerbaie woods are perfect for hiking and biking trips. For excursions, there is Monte Pisano (we highly recommend a visit to the Verruca Fortress, just a short distance from Orentano!). A little further away, the Migliarino, San Rossore, and Massaciuccoli Natural Park offers pristine beaches and sandy dunes. And don’t forget to explore the nearby cities: Lucca, with its medieval walls, Pisa, famous for its Leaning Tower, and Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the Tuscan countryside while staying at Villa Argentina!
