Typical Tuscan house.Great view on Lucca.Private parking/garden.WIFI
Only 15 minutes from the city of Lucca.
The sea, with sandy beach, is distant only 30 minutes from the house. (Lido di Camaiore -Viareggio- Forte dei Marmi).
This charming farmhouse restored in 2012, was formerly a small cloister dating back to 1700. It is located in the middle of an olive tree grove dominating the valley and the city of Lucca, which lies only 11 km from here. The owner is an interior designer, this is why interiors are refurbished with care and attention to details, using original Tuscan furniture and aiming at the perfect ease of the guests. The days in Lucca will be particularly agreeable thanks to its many attractions and points of interest: the sightseeing of the town, its unique city walls, churches, squares, museums etc. For those who love the sea, in 30 minutes you can reach the sea-side resorts of Versilia, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi - all renowned for their huge golden shores. For mountain lovers, in only 30 minutes you can be in the Garfagnana area and walk through its ancient villages. Take a chance to visit the cities of art and the most characteristic places of Tuscany (Pisa, Firenze, Siena, Cinque Terre) that are near to Lucca and easy to reach. In case some day you do not want to go anywhere, you can enjoy the impressive terrace, which is definitely the peculiarity of this house, offering the possibility to stay outside in complete relax. A magical place surrounded by nature where everything is like it used to be – only a few ancient houses deep in the stillness of the hills and an enchanting atmosphere due to the magnificent view, outstanding during the day and lovely by night.

Fantastic!
This place is just wonderful and Massimo is THE BEST host. The place doesn't have air conditioning, but don't let that put you off. We stayed there when it was unusually hot and it was still cool enough inside to sleep. The windows are all fitted with screens, so you can have the window without worry of insects getting in. The house has everything you can possibly need. Loved it. There's not a thing we would change!

A fantastic Lucca dream vacation.
We really loved our stay at this Tuscan farmhouse, we did not want to leave. The setting was perfect, up in the hills overlooking Lucca just a few miles distant. We had various family members coming and going throughout our stay. There was plenty of privacy for all with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is wonderful shared spaces to enjoy, the views from the terrace were spectacular. We were able to enjoy afternoon aperitivo as we relaxed in the setting sun. The full kitchen allowed us to make many meals from the treasures we found while roaming the countryside. The place was very clean and well set up, we were able to meet our host Massimo and move right in.
The house is located perfectly, we could leave the house and be in the city walls of Lucca within 20 minutes. Groceries, gas, and pharmacies all within 10 minutes or so. From the house we drove to Pisa in 30 minutes, Lido di Camaiore (beach) 35 minutes, Florence a little more than an hour by train or car, Siena, Pienza, Arezzo 2 hours or less by car. Being so close to Lucca we really got to know the city. It’s easy to cover on foot, and there are many very good restaurants, and a great, more relaxed vibe than the more touristy cities in Tuscany.
Our host Massimo was terrific, in fact the best we have encountered. We felt like valued guests. He even helped sorting out a parking ticket for us. Recommended a private chef for a special dinner that we loved.
Massimo gets our highest recommendation.

The house is great and Massimo is an amazing host. The road up to the house is very narrow and not for the faint of heart.

Beautiful house, amazing location
Massimo was a wonderful host, super helpful, enabling us to enjoy our week in this lovely house. The property had everything that we needed, the location is quiet and chilled, but still within easy reach of Lucca, the coast, etc. The surroundings, topped-off by the view from the terrace are simply beautiful.

Stunning Hillside Retreat
A delightful property in the hills of Lucca away from the bustling crowds but still only a short distance away. The perfect retreat!
The property is even better than the photos, we lived outdoors on the terrace with far reaching views. Enjoying the gentle Summer breezes.
Massimo was a wonderful host, always available if required and provided fabulous recommendations for surrounding restaurants and attractions. We would not hesitate to recommend this charming traditional Tuscan villa.
Massimo we can’t wait to return and enjoy your hospitality and the delights of your villa once again.

Hilltop with amazing views
We found this property on short noticed and it was pretty amazing. The view of the valley towards Lucca was spectacular. We really enjoyed the house and terrace. My only comment would be that it would be nice to have some kitchen stables available as the store is not close and who thinks they need to buy salt/pepper/olive oil. Other than that it was a great house. Winding road is not for everyone but once you do it a few times it's not too bad! Mossimo is a great and informative host.

Lovely stay in idyllic location
Lovely week in an immaculate property with stunning views. The house was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the spectacular drive up to the property as mentioned in other reviews. I guess it depends on what you are used to, but we had no problems driving to the property in a normal/largish family car. Massimo could not have been more welcoming and was very generous with his time explaining about the history of his delightful property. A wonderful week and we shall be back!

You have got to stay here!
We absolutely loved this house and the proprietor. He was helpful and welcoming and the house, once his father's, has been redone with comfort and beauty in mind. If you treasure quiet and convenience, you need to stay here if planning a Lucca trip.
