Relax!

By Silke M on 28-Sep-2022

If you are looking for a place to relax, swim and enjoy a good book, this is the place to go! A very charming house with everything you need to unwind. The view is spectacular, the pool big enough to swim laps and the kitchen has everything to cook a propper meal. The property manager was always responsive and helpful. It takes 40 minutes to go to Lucca and one hour to Pisa. The nearest larger supermarkets you can reach within 15-20 minutes, but there are small stores within 10-15 minutes of reach. Plenty of restaurants in the area. A great place to unwind. However, you need to do a bit of driving to visit sights. We got used to driving the narrow road up to the house. We can recommend staying at this place.

Splendid isolation with a lovely view

By Robert L on 14-Aug-2022

The house itself is suitably furnished and equipped (no AC, but fans were OK even in August). The main attraction is the garden and pool area with its uninterrupted views over the hills. Whilst it is possible to eat out in the evenings, there is nothing close by and I didn''t fancy the winding drive up the hill to the house in the dark. So this property would suit a group of people who intend to take it easy - cook for themselves, drink and enjoy the sunshine - maybe visit some of the hilltop villages during the day (have a spot of lunch?). This is what we did and we had a good time.

Beautiful villa with beautiful pool

By Hilde G on 10-Aug-2022

Beautiful villa with all comforts. Pleasant swimming pool. Nice location, but a bit of a scary road for large cars.
