Pistachio & Almond

Nestled in the ancient village of Santa Maria del Giudice, just a fifteen-minute drive from Pisa and Lucca, this delightful home is the perfect escape. It sits on a cobbled corner beside the village's majestic church tower and promises romance with its rose-tinted facade. Step through the elaborate arched doorway and discover an exquisitely renovated, light-filled interior. Lofty ceilings, exposed timber beams and a free-flowing layout create an ambience of tranquillity, tied together by a calming pistachio hue. We love the open-plan living space, with its blend of ornate vintage and mid-century modern decor. Past the bedroom, concealed by a pair of bookshelves, the tile-clad kitchen exudes authentic charm and beckons you to dabble in the art of Italian cuisine. Outside, a furnished street-facing terrace offers a front-row seat to village life – the perfect place to sip your morning espresso before a day of adventure. Home truths: *Some guests felt that the kitchen wasn't very well equipped here. If you're planning to cook, we'd recommend bringing a few basic essentials with you. That said, the kitchen is on the small side, so it's not the best for cooking large meals. *The bedroom is only separated with a curtain from the rest of the living area. *The bathroom here is also quite small. *Some guests said that parking here was challenging, even for compact vehicles.
