Great base to explore a beautiful part of Tuscany
We very much enjoyed our stay here. It is a great place to come home to after a busy day of visiting Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Monte Carlo just to mention a few. The owners, who live next door, are very friendly and welcoming.

perfect stay
This place is flat out wonderful! Not only it is clean and neat and lovingly cared for, but look around you! Every little detail is done to perfection. In short, it's just what you want a tuscan villa in a 17st century Tuscan hillside hamlet to look like. The pictures on here do not do this place justice. Having a car is great so you can explore all the famous hill towns as well as Lucca town centre and its wine country, all of which are easy day trips. Lucca town centre is at less than 15 mins drive! We espe-cially enjoyed Lucca and Montecarlo. The nearby village is nice to see and provides you with an excellent supermarket and amazing little groceris and easy access to roads leading everywhere. Sonia is on the premises every day to guide you around the area, providing very helpful information on parking, tours, restaurants, etc. She totally understands customer service and obviously enjoys being the co-proprietor of this lovely place. She might even give you a whiff of his own homegrown and heavenly olive oil. On the sad day when we left the villa, I promised Sonia I would write him a glowing review and recommend it to everyone. And indeed I do! Thank you Sonia for a memorable week in Tuscany!

A delightful country retreat
The house is quite charming and well equipped although the bathrooms could benefit from a little modernisation and the second bedroom is definitely for children only. Stefano (The Owner) is at hand to deal with any problems as he lives next door - in fact you share a drive and we saw him every day. Cristina was there to welcome us and give us a pretty comprehensive introduction to the property and the area.
It is fair to say that the situation of the property is very rural. There is a small bar a couple of minutes away and a well stocked local mini-market just around the corner, however there are no restaurants within easy walking distance and even if you did fancy a half hour brisk walk, the roads are quite busy and not particularly walker-friendly (no verges so you are walking on the road), but there are a number of restaurants within a ten or fifteen minute drive. Be sure to bring plenty of insect repellent - the mosquitoes are voracious both during the day and night.
All in all a delightful little cottage, very away from it all and in the midst of some stunning countryside.

Charming, peaceful and welcoming farmhouse in beautiful Tuscany
I just want to say thank you so much to Christina, Christina and Stephano for helping us have such a wonderful stay in Lucca, Tuscany. The whole holiday was well planned and organised, with frequent and helpful communication before we arrived. Christina also recommended an excellent taxi company to transfer my family from Florence airport to the villa, and kindly bought us some grosseries as we were arriving on the Saturday evening. The villa was just as we hoped, clean, well presented and with a traditionally Italian feel in places. The gardens and pool area were lovely and well maintained, we spent several days just relaxing there. There was a great mini market 5 minutes walk down the road and Lucca was a 20 minute taxi/car ride away. We would highly recommend staying here again, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the farmhouse and would certainly book again. Thank you.

Beautiful, quiet and tranquil a dream location
We stayed here with our little boy of 5 and his grandparents, the pool was definitely a great place for the whole family to gather and cool down in the heat. The owner lives next door and he was really friendly and helpful if we need him for anything. We had comlplete privacy all day everyday it was brilliant. The quiet location was great. The house was immaculate, beautiful linen in the bedrooms and crockery all lovely. We got used to the times in which the mosquitoes were around and avoided those times outside. Lots of places very accessible by car, Lucca, Pisa, Collodi. Hotter than usual for this time of year but not uncomfortable, we kept the house cool during the day keeping the shutters closed. We would definitely return to the beautiful farmhouse

Nice holiday home near Lucca
We really did enjoy our holiday here. The farmhouse is an attractive home and Stefano, who lives very close by, was very welcoming and helpful. We were close to a bus stop for trips to Lucca and we hired a car as well for a week. There is also a great little mini market 5 mins walk away. We never met Sonia or Christina. It was Lisa who met us on arrival at the house and she was very helpful. The photos on the website are fairly accurate although the cushions and bedding are not as pretty as shown. Everything was clean but the downstairs bathroom is a wet room and the floor gets very wet from the shower. Upstairs has only a handheld shower over the bath. It is not the fault of the owner but we were bitten a lot by mosquitos and my daughter was stung twice by wasps. Insect repellents didn't seem to work. It needs to be said that the house is right beside a pretty noisy road and heavy vehicles used it regularly when we were there. It was hot so we wanted to keep the windows open but quite a few had no mesh or badly fitting mesh panels with gaps which let insects in. Air conditioning is expensive, about a Euro an hour for each machine. We used it sparingly. The twin bedroom is very small and was very hot when we were there. The views were not as spectacular as we expected but the gardens were pretty and well cared for. We enjoyed ourselves here but feel this review will give you a better picture of the farmhouse. We received an email from Sonia giving information about Lucca etc but we had nothing in the villa to tell us directions to local restaurants or shops. We used the Internet to find out although the connection is not that great.

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus
Das Haus ist top ausgestattet, sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Klimaanlage in den Schlafzimmern ist sehr angenehm an heißen Tagen. Der großzügige Garten mit Pool ist ein Traum! Es ist ruhig gelegen, allerdings gibt es auch keine Restaurants oder Lebensmittelgeschäfte in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Stefano ist ein sehr herzlicher Gastgeber und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Besonders gefreut hat uns, dass uns jeden Tag 2 sehr zutrauliche Katzen besucht haben.

Schönes Rustico in traumhafter Lage
Perfekt für Familie mit zwei Kindern. Pool und Gartendusche mit Warmwasser sind ein Traum! Die kühlen Nächte im Juni machen die Klimaanlage unnötig. Nachts hört man nur die Turmglocken in der Ferne und wird morgens von den Vögeln sanft geweckt. Was will man mehr?

Tolles kleines Haus in dörflicher Lage
Wir sind mit 2 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern dort gewesen. Für das Haus die optimale Belegungszahl. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Vor allem der liebevoll angelegte Garten mit dem Pool, den Sitzgelegenheiten und der Grillecke. Der Blick in die Landschaft ist schön. Ein kleiner Minimarket ist zu Fuß zu erreichen, ein größerer in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto und nach Lucca fährt man ca. 20 Min.. In einem Gartenhaus findet man allerlei Nützliches zum Spielen und Dinge für den Pool, z.B. Luftmatratzen. Hervorheben möchte ich den Eigentümer: Stefano. Er wohnt nebenan und ist eine Seele von Mensch. Man kann ihn alles fragen, er nimmt sich Zeit und bleibt immer höflich zurückhaltend. Kann ich das Haus empfehlen? Ja, kann ich und ich wünsche jedem viel Spaß, der dort seine Zeit verbringt.

Schöne Ferien
Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Fotos zu sehen. Das Haus ist sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Begrüßung von Christina und Stefano war gut. Garten und Pool sind gepflegt. die Lage ist außerhalb an einer recht befahrenen Landstraße. Zu berücksichtigen bei der Buchung sind die Extrakosten wie Endreinigung von 80 Euro sowie die Nebenkosten für Strom.
