点评:Open only afternoons
We made Lucca home for some rainy days in April and were determined to see some of the “Ville”.
Not easy, as there were no small group arrangements, or any arrangements at all, readily available.
So we made friends with two of the only 30 taxi-drivers in the city (#14 & #25).
Mansi was our last afternoon stop . . . and we were the only visitors that time of the day.
It’s a self exploring tour in a seemingly empty palace.
Then we discovered the frescoes “grotesque style” – and that made us open also for the garden.
Between Italian baroque and English landscape, vistas and surprising turns overgrown by moss . . .
Although late in the season we discovered a beautiful Camellia too.
If you don’t self-drive the villas may be hast to find – public transport is insufficient and even google navigation got confused with so many “private roads”.
We tried to walk from Torregiani to Mansi – got lost in the hills, which made the one mile walk a 1½ adventure.
Well worth it!

4 月,我们把卢卡作为了下雨天的家,决心要去看看“Ville”。
这并不容易,因为没有小团体安排,或者根本没有任何安排。
所以我们和这座城市仅有的 30 名出租车司机中的两位交上了朋友(#14 和 #25)。
曼西是我们下午的最后一站……我们是当天那个时候唯一的游客。
这是一次在看似空荡荡的宫殿中进行的自我探索之旅。
然后我们发现了“怪诞风格”的壁画——这也让我们对花园产生了兴趣。
在意大利巴洛克风格和英国风格之间,远景和长满青苔的意外转弯……
虽然在季节的后期,我们也发现了一朵美丽的山茶花。
如果您不自驾,别墅可能很难找到——公共交通不足,甚至谷歌导航也会与如此多的“私家路”混淆。
我们试图从托雷吉亚尼步行到曼西——在山里迷路了,这让一英里的步行变成了一场半的冒险。非常值得!
