Typical Tuscan house.Great view on Lucca.Private parking/garden.WIFI

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.

A piece of Tuscan heaven...

For two weeks we enjoyed a little piece of Tuscan heaven amongst the peaceful olive groves in the hills outside of Lucca, while discovering the history (and restaurants!) of the city of Lucca itself, along with day trips around the area including Lido di Camaiore along the coast, Pisa, and Firenze, historic villas and local wineries. The home itself is beautifully restored and authentically appointed, and we ended each day with wine on the covered terrace overlooking an amazing vista. Our host Massimo was most kind, gracious, and helpful and we very much enjoyed getting to know him. As other reviewers have noted, the approach to the home up and down the winding hills (and up and down the terraced steps between the house and parking) are not without their challenges, but it became easier each day.

Great experience !

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

A Tuscan paradise

Enchanting property set high on a hill overlooking hundreds of olive trees with Lucca in the distance. Comfortable and clean with all the amenities one needs. Massimo is a very responsive and thoughtful owner and excellent guide for local food, history and sites. An opportunity not to be missed!

Thank you so much, Massimo!

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!

Beautiful rural house with amazing views

Firstly, I have to say that the photos of the view do not do it justice. You can see Lucca from the terrace and no matter what time of day, it is stunning. I took photos of the same view every day! The house itself is comfortable, well equipped and is perfect for a family break. It has all the things you need for a comfortable stay without losing any of the character of a rural dwelling. There are three double rooms - the two upstairs have en-suite, and the downstairs one has easy access to a shower room and toilet. The house is rurally located, which means it is lovely and quiet - usually you can only hear the sounds of nature and the occasional sounds of human life still happening elsewhere. Lucca is a 15 minute drive away and there are plenty of places to park, eat, drink and explore. A few tips for travellers: - the road to the house is narrow and windy - if the car hire company give you a big car and you are not used to narrow roads, ask them for a smaller one - the house is nestled in the middle of an area of woodland, so you will need bug repellent - as you leave Torre onto the main road, in the opposite direction from Lucca, there is a lovely bakery which does fresh bred and pastries - you must visit!

Wir haben 2 Wochen im Juni in Massimos Haus gewohnt. Das Haus ist wunderschön eingericht und auf einem Hügel etwa 8 Km von Lucca entfernt gelegen. Man schaut von der Terasse in die Ebene und auf Lucca. Wenn man Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist man hier genau richtig. Massimo ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber, der sich sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend gekümmert hat. Vielen Dank dafür. Wir werden sicherlich noch einmal hierhin zurück kehren.

Great time in Lucca

Our stay in Lucca was wonderfully relaxing. Massimo was a great host. He stopped in several times in the two weeks that we were there. His travel tips and suggestions made our trip the most enjoyable we’ve had. The house was nicely furnished but kept a farmhouse charm. The view from the patio never failed to relax us. Very peaceful. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Traumhaftes Haus in toller Lage nahe Lucca

Das Haus war super schön – sehr gepflegt, stilvoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Die Lage ist ruhig und idyllisch, gleichzeitig ist man in wenigen Minuten in Lucca. Besonders gefallen hat uns die Nähe zur Natur und die entspannte Atmosphäre. Massimo war ein großartiger Gastgeber: herzlich, hilfsbereit und stets erreichbar.

Frühling im Olivenhain über Lucca

Wir haben eine traumhafte 1. April Woche in Massimos Haus verbracht und fanden es noch schöner als auf den Fotos. So eine Aussicht kann man eben nur schwer auf Bildern festhalten. Die Lage ist fantastisch und Sonne kommt früh am Morgen hinter dem Berg hervor und scheint den ganzen Tag auf das Haus und die Terrasse.Und zu so einer Aussicht und Abgeschiedenheit kommt man eben auch nicht auf einer breit ausgebauten Strasse. Wir waren mit 2 mittel großen Autos unterwegs und die Straße war völlig in Ordnung für uns. Einfach langsam fahren und ab und an vor den Kurven hupen. Wenn einem jemand entgegen kommt, dann sind es Einheimische, die wissen was zu tun ist.Das Haus ist bestens ausgestattet, die Matratzen sehr bequem, gute Bettwäsche und hochwertige Handtücher. In der Küche hatte es alles was wir gebraucht haben und wir haben sehr viel gekocht. An den Abenden war es noch kühl und da wir darauf verzichtet haben zu heizen, haben wir abends ein Feuer im Kamin in der Küche gemacht, Feuerholz ist vorhanden und günstig. Uns hat es für eine Woche gereicht aber auch für Nachschub wird gesorgt wenn man ihn braucht.Massimo stand uns immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite und selbst als wir uns an unserem letzten Tag einen platten Reifen geholt haben wusste er wer uns schnell und professionell helfen kann. Ein Urlaub an den wir noch lange zurück denken werden und hoffentlich wieder kommen.

Beautiful Tuscan country retreat if it fits you

This is a truly beautiful house with long views down to Lucca and olive groves all around. It is well-furnished and we slept really soundly. Massimo, the host, is extremely gracious and offers many great ideas for local activities and day trips, and once you find it the local supermarket is very well stocked. Having said all that, there are two "buts" to determine if this is the right fit for you. The key one is that "steep, winding, and narrow road" indicated in some comments is an understatement of the case. If you are not an experienced and confident driver with a relatively small car, you're going to have a challenge. The road goes from one lane to less than one car width, there are no shoulders, and the dropoffs are steep. It is very unlikely that a car service would agree to come pick you up. Issue #2, which is related to that, is that either you cook quite a bit in the well-appointed kitchen or you stay out for lunch and dinner (meaning drive up the hill in the dark). It is a good 20-25 minutes to anywhere and you get to navigate the hill both ways. We would go out for the day, enjoy an Italian lunch, pick up supplies for dinner, and head home to cook and enjoy that. (Issue #3: if you are a crazy cat person, use your common sense and do not feed the feral cats that roam the mountain as the people before us did.) Again, we very much enjoyed our stay once we figured it all out but you need a small car and you better be a good driver.

Great Stay in a Typical Tuscan Villa

We had an amazing stay at Massimo's Tuscan Villa. We were close to the walled city of Luca, and it was a great place to stage your Tuscan vacation. The villa itself was well appointed and everything was high quality. The amazing views, and the Tuscan hillside made each morning very special. Massimo is a great host. He ensured that we had everything we needed and he knew it was our anniversary and left us a little gift for when we checked in. If you're looking for a typical Tuscan villa on the Tuscan Hill side surrounded by olive trees on a working olive tree farm, stay with Massimo. One of the best VRBO hosts I've ever had.

Lovely stay in beautiful accomodation

The house is very charming, but also has great modern facilities like a fully equiped kitchen, window screens against mosquitos, lovely rain showers etc. The view is as amazing as you might dream. The kids had a lot of fun exploring the lush garden while we had drinks on the patio. The road up the hill was a bit scary the first time, but as Massimo promised we got used to it.

Perfect Italian villa with splendid view for a relaxed holiday

We are a Dutch family with two teenagers and stayed two weeks in this fully restored traditional Italian villa. The house is fully equiped and feels like home to stay. The very friendly owner makes all efforts to give you a perfect holiday and is very helpful in any way (places to go, restaurants, etc.). He speaks good English and is very responsive in his communication. If you are looking for a spot to relax and want to enjoy your privacy, then this is the place to go! The villa is located close to Lucca (15 min drive) and ideal for day trips to Pisa, Florence, Volterra, Siena, and many more. We loved the outdoor area (veranda and garden) with a georgeous view on the valley and Lucca. But also indoors there is everything you need and all in perfect condition. The road up the mountain is a bit challenging (narrow and steep at some points) but you get used to it quickly after a few runs. We can highly recommend this place!

We had a wonderful time at Massimo's beautiful home on the hillside. Fantastic views, absolutely gorgeous in the morning and at night. The home is impeccably clean. We were very comfortable and didn't have any complaints. We took great trips from this location, to Lucca, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Pisa, Garfagnana, Florence and Carrara. We ate at the suggested restaurants and loved them. Like others mentioned, the drive to the house is thrilling and does get easier every time you do it. Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Don't hesitate to plan this trip. I cannot wait to return.
