| Bella Casa Contadina is situated inside the main gate to the 18th century Villa Costa in Marlia, four miles north of Lucca. Just one block from a small food market and a mile from central Marlia, this was once a rural estate of the Costa family from Genova, shipping magnates who operate the Costa Cruise Line. | ||||||||||||||||||
