Villa Buggia | 6-Bedroom Villa in Massa e Cozzile PT Tuscany

Between Florence and Lucca, in the quiet countryside of Massa e Cozzile PT, Villa Buggia offers the kind of spacious luxury villa rental that accommodates 12 guests without anyone feeling crowded. This fully renovated property delivers contemporary comfort wrapped in authentic Tuscan character, with grounds spanning 30,000 square metres of gardens, vineyards, and recreational space that transform a week into something genuinely restorative.

Inside Villa Buggia

Villa Buggia sleeps 12 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, spread across the main residence and a detached annexe. The 400-square-metre interior feels generous without being cavernous—each room scaled for real living, not just passing through.

The ground floor anchors everything around a fully equipped kitchen positioned to overlook the pool. Dishwasher, oven, kettle, toaster, microwave, blender, coffee machine, and substantial fridge-freezer mean you can prepare serious meals or quick breakfasts with equal ease. The adjacent dining area seats groups comfortably, while a separate living room provides a quieter retreat for evening conversation or games. Two ground-floor bedrooms, each with a double bed and ensuite shower room, open directly onto a private patio—ideal for guests who want direct access to the garden or for early risers watching sunrise over the vineyards.

Climb to the first floor and you discover three more bedrooms. Two feature double beds, ensuite bathrooms with showers, and sofa beds for additional guests or flexibility. The fifth bedroom also holds a double bed and ensuite shower, offering similar comfort. The annexe, accessed from outside, provides a dedicated master bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom and private entrance—privacy for those who need it, or a natural gathering point for group dynamics.

Climate control includes air-conditioning throughout all bedrooms and underfloor heating for cooler months. Smart TVs, Bluetooth sound systems, fireplaces, and Wi-Fi connectivity thread through the property, but the real luxury here is the absence of pretension: board games stacked on shelves, toys for younger visitors, mosquito nets on windows, iron and ironing board tucked away. Someone thought through what guests actually need.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the landscape unfolds. Two swimming pools—the larger measuring 13 metres by 9 metres, the secondary 6 metres by 4 metres, both with a maximum depth of 1.4 metres—operate seasonally from early May through late September. Stairs and a slide built into the larger pool make it popular with children; sun loungers, deck chairs, and parasols cluster around both basins for sunbathing between swims.

A 6-person jacuzzi positioned to overlook the vineyard offers evening relaxation with views across the property’s own vines. The garden itself, studded with ancient olive trees and cultivated with obvious care, invites wandering. A gas barbecue and brand-new wood-fired pizza oven (added 2025) anchor outdoor dining areas where tables accommodate large groups under pergolas and shade structures.

Recreation extends beyond the obvious. A dedicated pickleball court (new for 2025) appeals to competitive guests; table tennis caters to post-dinner tournaments. Swings and slides satisfy younger children, while a small newly installed fitness area suits those maintaining routines. The small playground ensures children stay engaged during afternoons. Parking with an electric charging station addresses practical needs; a private wine cellar (available at additional cost) connects to the region’s identity.
