Lucca, Tuscany
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.
The two of us and our dog spent a wonderful week in Massimo's house, with a change of scenery guaranteed. The house is surrounded by olive trees and is completely immersed in nature without being isolated. Massimo was extremely kind and available, with very good advice for visiting the region. We just had a problem with the hot water and he came the same day to fix the problem. I would recommend without hesitation!
We were incredibly touched by the very warm welcoming of our host, Massimo. We enjoyed the time in this truly tuscan house with a breathtaking view over Lucca and the olive grove. We appreciated the peaceful environment and we recommend this nice place to people who like a calm surrounding. Grazie mille Massimo ! Odile and friends
Nice and top tipps from Massimo
Very hospital en friendly owner. Beautiful house (at about a15 minutes climb by car). Nice, well equipped, terrace with a wonderful view. Clean bedrooms with good beds. All bedroom windows have mosquito nets. Clean en nice bathrooms with good showers. Well equipped kitchen. We recommend it.
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 beautiful house with a stunning view. Close enough to Lucca to visit the city everytime you feel like it but far enough from the city to experiance the rest and peace of the land. The perfect location to visit the area. Ad the best host you could wish for and you are in for the perfect holiday
I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We `ve had a fantastic holiday in Tuscany, the house and furnishings are fantastic and Massimo is a perfectionist and do everything for his guests. Therefore we pass the time completely carefree and could enjoy our vacation. Even his tips are priceless and made sure we are able to see things outside of the tourist guides. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Massimo! :-) We would like to come again!
We had a truly wonderful time in this luxury holiday home. Massimo was very helpful and gave some valuable hints for activities in the area that made our stay special. Also, we liked the terrace with the view over Lucca and the olive plantations.
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.
We enjoyed our holiday in the house very much. It is so nice designed and with everything well equipped. The view is fantastic and Massimo is very helpful. A great place for holiday!
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.
We had a great time at this house. Everything was as good or better as expected or hoped for and we even got lucky with the weather in november and had lots of sunny days. One info that might be useful for families with big cars: The house is located quite remotely on a beautiful hilltop. The last part of the road is sometimes narrow and if you have a big / long car (as we do) you have to take your time to get to the top ;-). All in all we couldn't have wished for a better house!
We stayed in Massimo's beautiful house as a family of 6 for one week in October. The house is large enough for 6 people, beautifully decorated and we felt at home from the first minute. Everything was perfect from beginning to end, and the variety of options made this vacation special. Sightseeing and shopping in Lucca or Pisa, swimming in the sea, hiking in the nearby hills, enjoying restaurants in neighbor villages or simply staying on the amazing terrace, this place has something for everyone! And if you need more information and support, Massimo will help quickly with suggestions. If you are looking for a true 5 star location, this is it. We will be happy to visit again!
Property is exactly as pictured with a beautiful view of Lucca and the surrounding valley. Communication with Massimo was excellent As he was very attentive to us during our stay. We had a wonderful 3 week experience and can enthusiastically recommend this house.
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.
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.
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.
