Fabulous house in a beautiful location
This is an absolute gem of a property, and Stefania is a fabulous host!
We weren’t sure of our arrival time but Stefania was flexible and worked around us, giving us a warm welcome when we arrived. The property is only 40 minutes’ drive from Pisa airport, so we were able to spend time sightseeing in Pisa without worrying about a lengthy or difficult drive ahead.
The property is just off a well-used road and has a couple of other properties nearby, so expect some road noise and dog barking, but this didn’t bother us, and we liked the convenience.
Supermarkets, restaurants and takeaway pizza are all less than 10 minutes’ drive away, and the house is really well equipped for cooking (although short on counter space).
The house itself was an absolute joy – there are two terraces, and sunbeds you can easily move around the garden to find shade/sun at any point in the day.
Having the pool is great – and the views over nearby town Lucca and the mountains when you’re swimming are breathtaking.
We drove to Lucca one day (about 15 minutes), a lovely place to spend a day wandering round. And the characterful hilltop village of Montecarlo is well worth a visit.
We also spent a day driving in the nearby mountains. Definitely not for the faint-hearted! But there are some lovely mountain villages and peaceful woodlands to explore.
This was our first visit to Italy, and we couldn’t have wished for a lovelier place to stay, or a more helpful host - thanks Stefania!
