NB
• The owners live in the apartment downstairs, but they have their own private driveway, entrance and outdoor areas and fully respect the privacy of guests who has exclusive use of gardens and pool (except when being tended). Indeed, since the house is built into a slope it feels as though this is in fact a detached house all to yourselves, since one cannot even see owner's accommodation. The only shared facility is the laundry which the owners only use at night since they work all day. The owners speak fluent English so can help with anything you may need, but still be unobtrusive and ensure you are not disturbed!
There are two resident cats (not permitted in house) and there is also a horse paddock above the grounds (approx 300m from house and 70m from pool), with 2 beautiful friendly horses
• Some of the land is terraced so may not be suitable for toddlers/very small children
• Short breaks available outside of July and August at €170 per night.
• Changeover days are flexible outside of July and August.
A little about location:
This property is located in a very peaceful and picturesque spot comprising 10 acres of land, with beautiful mountain views, just 1km from the local village which has a basic shop for essentials.
There are 2 good restaurants 5km either side of the property and lots more beyond.
Situated just 40 mins from the mediaeval walled city Lucca this is an ideal rural location for walking and communing with nature, but good also for exploring with the car.
At Lucca, one can hire bicycles and hire around the still intact City walls, meander through the cobbled streets, visit beautiful churches, climb towers, and shop til you drop, stopping off of course at wonderful restaurants and gelaterias... One can also listen to Puccini performances every night of the year, in one of the local churches ...
Also, close to home at a 20 min drive, is the Spa town of Bagni di Lucca, with it's thermal waters and beauty treatments . There are also banks, supermarkets and several restaurants.

Owners Mauro and Sarita were very helpful to us when our daughter had a temperature and needed to get a covid test. She was negative but the whole thing took a lot of organising and we would have struggled without the owners both being fluent in English and Italian. Great view too!

Great Property in Stunning Location
The property is furnished and equipped to a very high standard. Lots of room if you want to be inside, but you'll probably spend most of your time out. The eating area patio has great views of the valley, if slightly obscured by the property itself. Looking the other way it feels like you might be in a tree house. A short stroll up the hill is the swimming pool with incredible views but at the same time a nice secluded location.
Friendly and helpful hosts but not intrusive.
So good we've already booked up again for next year!

spacious apartment in the middle of nature
Not really an apartment because of the separate entrance and large terras/garden. A kitchen with cooler/freezer with ice macine (cool!), gas cooker with electric oven and all the things you need in a kitchen, except for a microwave we did not really miss. A large swimming pool with great view over the valley. As I do not like sunbathing I missed a gazebo or large parasol near the pool, the other family members even didn't notice that, and I enjoyed sitting under the large olive tree in the middle of the terras, away from the kids playing in the pool. Nature is so close deer pass through the garden at sunrise and sunset and birds sing all day. The perfect holiday place for people on the look for silence and calm. Italy at its best, also for foodies and wanderers, adventurous or laid-back types. It is all available in the surrounding areas. Would I go back? Yes of course!
