Lucca,
At our farmhouse we have 2 units that we usually rent separately.
Here we are listing one of our Studio that can sleep 2 people and the price is for 2 people. This is a Studio that is organised also for hosting disable people, wheelchair users. So it is on the ground floor and it's a very large room with 3 windows and a door with glass, that has a double bed (or 2 single beds) and in a corner has a fully equipped kitchenette. We can add a single bed for a third person, may be a child, but you have to be aware that you will sleep all together. The bathroom is large enough as well as the shower that can be used by wheelchair users. Please look at property 1419100, that is our other Studio. So in total we can host 4 people ,adding an extra bed maximum 5 people. We have cots for little children so each Studio can host a baby in a cot.
Just in case I want to let you know the price of the second Studio, the separate Studio is exactly the same of this little unit.
We also suggest you to contact us before booking because we can offer a discount on longer rentals and we can offer you a better accomodation considering your needs !
Our small organic farm sits on a hill along Lucca’s beautiful northern countryside in the hamlet of Aquilea, with stunning views over the Valdottavo valley, the high peaks of the Apennines, and the National park in the distance. We produce our own olive oil, bake our own bread, make jams from our own fruit trees, prepare home-made yoghurt and classic Italian sauce from our own tomatoes, and grow a variety of vegetables.
Our solar powered and beautifully restored farmhouse has 2 comfortable, fully furnished apartments that will feel like home the moment you step inside! Each has its own entry on a lovely terrace where you can relax and enjoy outdoor dining, including pizza from a brick oven. At our above ground swimming pool, guests can enjoy sunbathing with an incredible view.
Our love and respect for the environment can be seen in our organic farm with free-range animals, olive groves, a vegetable garden, and fruit trees. We use solar panels for hot water, to help with the wood boiler heating system, and to heat the swimming pool. We chose an above ground, moveable swimming pool because it has less environmental impact. We have two gazebos near the pool with photovoltaic roofs.
Here a car is really necessary.
Driver service: If you don't feel like driving, the owner or one of her relatives can be your driver and guide: they can pick you up at the train station in Lucca or at the airport in Pisa or Florence, bring you to the farmhouse to get settled, help you to visit undiscovered surroundings and Tuscan beautiful towns. This kind of service has to be arranged in advance before your arrival, because at the last minute when you are here it can not be assured.
Cooking lessons and catering : You can learn how to make classic Italian dishes in our large country kitchen and enjoy your meal in our lovely dining room. The owner speaks excellent English and is a talented cook. You can choose the menu with her, deciding what you would like for your delightful cooking lesson.
If you do not feel like cooking, you can enjoy being served authentic Tuscan dinners for €30 per head.
Italian language lessons : We can organize Italian language lessons upon request.
Car or driver, cooking lessons or catering, Italian lessons – the choice is yours. Join us for a true Tuscan vacation.

Beautiful property as was the hostess. Very welcoming and a fabulous chef! I can’t wait to come back!???❤️
If you are looking for a wonderful in the country experience, visit Lella on her olive farm, Agriturismo Abbacca-là Apartments near Lucca She embodied the heart of Italy in her hospitality. We had many great experiences of watching the sunset over the valley, cooking lessons, learning Italian and just relaxing. We chose the Lucca area as our anchor point. It is beautiful place to visit but also close to so many other places within an hour or so; wine tasting, Cinque Terra, marble quarries, small towns, beaches as well as Siena and Firenza. The accomodations are farmhouse motif and the hospitality is warm and welcoming. The road up is very winding, but keep going. You will get there.
All eco farm charm. Beautiful remote location Hospitality unmatched! Very accommodating Hope to come back soon
The apartment are well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and most of all, the view was fantastic. Lella was a wonderful host. Thank you very much :)
This was a very nice place. The family was busy with olive harvest so having meals there was not a viable option. The one meal we did have was great. If we could offer any suggestions it would be to maybe upgrade the linens. You definitely need a car for this location. It is located at the top of a very winding, hilly road. We would stay here again.
We have been visited several locations in Italy, we have seen lots of good places in the last 15 years since we are regularly traveling around the country. But we have never arrived as a guest and leave as a friend from anywhere. This fact maybe tells everything about “Abbacca-là. We really enjoyed our few days here very much. We worked, cooked and laughed together with Lella and the whole family. Wish everybody will have such amazing experience as we had here. Oh, yes and we had never written any feedback before ever!
The location and description of this property appealed to us immediately, but we were concerned about renting a car and driving the narrow mountain roads. Fortunately, our host Lella offered us the option of having her do all the driving for us! That was the perfect arrangement for our group of four ladies, exploring Tuscany without our husbands. Her response time was very fast, when we were emailing back and forth, and her English was excellent. We rented the large apartment and the adjoining smaller unit, which were very clean and comfortable with everything in good working order. The rustic stone farmhouse and surrounding countryside was charming, and so was Lella! She welcomed us into her kitchen for breakfast each morning with homemade breads, yogurt, cereals and jams from their fruit trees. This was an option we were very happy to have, as it gave us time to visit with Lella about the area, and Tuscan life in general. We also opted to have her make dinner for us on our arrival day, which she brought to our apartment that evening. We spent a couple days exploring Lucca, riding bikes on the wall, sitting in various piazzas sipping wine and sampling delicious food, and attending an evening Puccini concert at church of San Giovanni. One day, we did a road trip with Lella to Barga, past the Carrara marble quarries, through several mountain villages and on to a coastal resort town. Gorgeous scenery, with the best tour guide around. I highly recommend doing a cooking class with Lella also.......it was a highlight for us, as it was our final day at Abbacca-la. Also on our last day we hiked up to the church ruins which was challenging, but well worth the views. Lella’s customer service went above and beyond our expectations. She created a personal connection with us, treated us like we were her longtime friends, laughed with us, anticipated our needs. We all came home to Iowa with olive oil from their trees......bringing a little living part of Abbacca-la with us to savor, along with our memories. I would highly recommend this place!
Abbacca-la` is truly a hidden gem in the Lucca area. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils for cooking. Speaking of cooking, Lella, the owner, instructed us how to prepare focaccia, veal appetizer, a chicken dish and dessert. Then we ate and drank wine outside enjoying the beautiful vistas. Lella and her husband also drove us when we needed transportation. I highly recommend Abbacca-la`.
I can't imagine a better place to stay near Lucca. Lella is the most gracious hostess imaginable. In our four days at Abbacca-la she truly became a friend. Having just spent four fast paced days in Florence, my girlfriends and I were eager to escape the city and experience a more relaxed area of Italy. Abbacca-la was everything we could have hoped for and more. Lella's meals were entirely home cooked and amazing. She provided transportation to Lucca for two days of exploring on our own and then spent a day driving us to remote villages and then on to the coast. The highlight of our stay was her cooking class. There aren't enough superlatives to describe our experience. I would love to go back with my family some day.
Yes, the location was accurately described, a lovely olive farm in the hills above Lucca. The property was very well clean, comfortable and well maintained. Although the photo shows the front of the building, our apartment was in the back, limiting our views of the mountains and valleys. However the patio area where we had our meals was charming with shade and blooming hydrangeas and roses. We even were able to enjoy fire flies in the evening. I would definitely recommend this property to friends and relatives. Donatella was very helpful, meeting us in Ponte Moriano, gave suggestions for day trips, Italian authors to read and local restaurants. We enjoyed restaurants and super market in Ponte Moriano. Donatella's cooking was divine. Day trips we enjoyed were to Lucca, Florence via train, Carrara, Barga, Borgo and walking up to the hillside church ruins. We also were interested in the local history of WWII. Although Abaccalla was more rustic than some places on VRBO, the price fit our pocketbooks. We are 2 couples in our early 70's.
