Above Lucca, Among the Olives.

Vorno is the kind of Tuscan village that only those who have been remember: a handful of stone buildings in the hills above Lucca, surrounded by olive groves that have been producing oil since long before the villa was built. From the estate's terraces, the view takes in the valley below and the pine-clad ridges above.
