Amazing apartments and pool just a few details could further improve
We had a lovely family stay: the views over Lucca, the birds on the wooded hillsides behind, the extraordinary secluded stone pool with steps down for kids, and the picture-postcard drive through Matraia and down to the excellent Esselunga supermarket are hard to beat. We also recommend getting Tamara from Lucca Cooking Classes over for a cooking class in your kitchen, and a meal for all (as well as Le Colonne in the village) The house in furnished in an old family style and our only suggestions would be for clearer written instructions (the owner is responsive but lives in Lucca), more glasses and silverware and a clearer checkout process.

Fantastiskt
Hela vistelsen var underbar, fantastiskt boende med otrolig utsikt. Silvia var en fantastisk värd.Polen var jättefin. Vägen upp till huset är smal och krokig men samtidigt också en härlig upplevelse.

Auftanken vor herrlicher Kulisse
Als größere Freundesgruppe haben wir nach einem schönen, abgeschiedenen Ort gesucht, an dem wir uns vom Alltag erholen können. Das Haus hat diese Erwartungen übertroffen. Es ist sauber, das Gelände ist groß und die Umgebung wunderschön. Besonders haben wir die Aussicht ins Tal in der Nacht genossen. Die Abwicklung und Organisation war sehr unkompliziert. Vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber!
