gorgeous home in foothills near lucca
Well situated home on beautiful property perfect for day trips to surrounding beach, wineries, small hilltop tuscan villages plus the big ones Lucca Pisa Florence . Helpful host with great recommendations for activities and restaurants. Welcome gifts of local wine, homemade jam, and fresh eggs from the chickens. Down side? No air- conditioning for those hot tuscan days as are most homes but manageable with fans and shaded property.

En conclusion, c''est une très bonne adresse permettant de combiner visites et détente au calme.
This villa is situated in a wonderful Tuscan property, equipped with a nice swimming pool located in a splendid garden. The villa is very nicely decorated and well equipped. It is located within 15 min from Lucca, 30min from Pisa and 1 hour from Firenze. It is an excellent address, for both relaxation and touristic visits."
