A beautiful and peceful place to stay in the Tuscan hills above Lucca
We came here after a week of walking in Tuscany. It was just what we needed. Romina is a perfect host. She showed us around the property and explained how everything worked before leaving us with her contact details in case we needed anything. The house is lovely and cool in the heat of the summer. The bedrooms and bathrooms have been modernised and are very tastefully furnished with everything you need. There was even soap by the basins, and a hairdryer. The garden is lovely - with shade at the top all day, and in the lower garden in the afternoons. We used the BBQ to cook all our meals and ate under the gazebo. The only noise we heard was the birds (except for a couple of times when we heard music from a weekend celebration somewhere in the valley wafting up the hills!). The local supermarket is very good and had has a fresh fish and meat counter. We visited Lucca - a charming town with a wonderful shady walk all the way round its walls; Pisa; and a stunning garden at nearby Villa Reale. We even got used to the steep and winding road up and down the hill to the house without trouble. Romina is a lovely person - and so helpful. She answers text messages promptly before you go and makes you very welcome. We had a really good holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if you're looking for peace and comfort in a lovely country house.
