Tuscany - Lucca charm mansion in a beautyful private park; close to sea

A beautiful property in a lovely area, felt like you were staying in someone’s home rather than a rental property.

Honestly, I can't imagine a better experience in Tuscany. My mother (90) has always wanted to get the whole family together for a vacation in Tuscany and this was the year. This home filled everyone's expectations and is well-represented by the listing's pictures It's beautiful, well-appointed country home with rustic elements ("scratched up houses", in the words of my 6-year-old nephew - ha). The little ones were super happy with the pool (the big people, too). The grounds are stunning and very much like a park with trails to stroll through, benches and chairs in various places around the property to sit and read, converse, nap, etc. Everything works! The kitchen is terrific and well appointed for serious and fun meal preparation. The beds are comfortable! The experience is very much that of borrowing the keys to an old friend's home and feeling right at home. The area is terrific on its own and offers a good launchpad to local tourism and sightseeing - 20 minutes to Lucca, 30 minutes to the beach in Viareggio, 45 minutes to Pisa, good grocery stores about 10 minutes away. The gardener came by in the mornings and looked after the property and pool. He was very friendly and helpful. The restaurants in the area are terrific. The house has a bulletin board with all the business cards and hand-written notes of recommendation. The owner's special recommendation was voted by my family to be the best meal and experience they've ever had!

This is the perfect house for a large family get away to Tuscany. Perfect location to many major cities, towns and beaches. The house had everything we needed, including fans, and the kitchen was well stocked with tools to prepare meals. We really enjoyed the pool and admiring the gardens on the property. We would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Pierre and Marco for your hospitality!!

Un coin de paradis. La situation est extraordinaire, appréciable tant sur le plan culturel que sportif. La villa est agréable, et pleine de charme pour rêvasser. C'est un lieu de vacances idéal pour tous, nous nous y sommes fort plus; les enfants étaient ravis. La grande piscine pour leurs jeux d'eau. Dès la sortie de la propriété, s'ouvre la porte des balades. La Toscane des Alpes apuanes nous a fait découvrir des merveilles. Impressionnant, je recommande ce lieu à tous.
