A place of paradise!

My two children (10 and 13) couldnt have hoped for a more special place to spend our holiday. The house really was charming, the pool was gorgeous and the views were stunning. The proximity to shops and beautiful Lucca was amazing too. Thank you Nina for such a wonderful stay! ❤️

We booked this property partly because of the decent size pool which was as delightful as expected. Villa is spacious, view from bedroom is fabulous, beds are comfy. Hosts are very friendly and welcoming and clearly want you to have a nice stay.I would mention that parking is a little distance away so it does mean you have to carry your shopping. One bar within walking distance, anything else requires a trip down the mountain.

Great views. The little villa is ok but a little tired and could do with a refreshing. Access is up a steep slope, not suitable for those with mobility difficulties. The lady who looks after the property is very helpful.

Wonderful

We wanted to see a different part of Tuscany to the north of the typical Pisa, Sienna, Florence triangle. We chose here for Lucca, and are so glad we did. The little villa was great with everything we needed, marrying taste and practicality. The gardens splendid, pool excellent, views amazing, hosts wonderful. Nina & Giulio we felt privileged to have shared your small piece of paradise up in the hills and to have met you, thanks for your hospitality. We hope to come back.

Wunderschön gelegenes Ferienhäuschen mit fantastischem Blick auf die Landschaft. Das Haus selbst ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und es ist alles vorhanden was man benötigt.Der tolle Pool im Garten vorbei an Olivenbäumen sorgt für eine Erfrischung und Entspannung.Die Eigentümer sind sehr gastfreundlich, herzlich und zuvorkommend. Die Abholung und der Transport des Gepäcks mit dem Golf Car war für uns eine nette Überraschung.Die Unterkunft ist gut gelegen und man erreicht den Supermarkt und Lucca in nur wenigen Autominuten. Die Gegend ist traumhaft und auch mit dem Rennrad sehr gut zu erkunden. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und würden jeder Zeit wieder kommen.

Schönes Haus und tolle Lage nahe Lucca

Wir waren 2 Wochen in dem schönen toskanischen Haus mit einem tollen Blick auf die umliegende Gegend. Nina und ihr Mann waren sehr freundliche Gastgeber und haben uns wertvolle Tipps für Ausflüge und die besten Strände in Viareggio und Forte dei Marmi gegeben. Wir empfehlen die Gastgeber und das Haus mit Pool uneingeschränkt weiter und kommen gerne wieder

Unterkunft in die Jahre gekommen

Leider war in der Beschreibung nicht erwähnt, dass der Zugang zur Unterkunft beschwerlich war! Die Koffer mussten wir mit einem Schubkarren vom Autoparkplatz ca. 200Meter weit bergauf transportiert werden! Zudem funktionierte z.B. der Gasherd nicht! In der Dusche sowie in der Küche kein warmes Wasser. Einzig schön war die Aussicht und der Pool. Dringende Renovierungsarbeiten am Ferienhaus von Nöten!!! .

Wirklich genau das Richtige

Zehn Nächte mit Familie, wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Hochsommerliche Temperaturen (Mitte Juli), und wir waren lieber am Pool und im Haus, als ans Meer oder nach Florenz oder Pisa zu fahren… Da das Haus oben am Hang liegt, ist es auch nicht ganz so heiß wie in der Ebene. Sehr netter Kontakt mit den Gastgebern, viele gute Tips für Essen, Einkaufen etc. - rundum ein schöner Urlaub.

Schöne Lage und tolle Casina

Ich war mit meinem Mann und beiden Kindern (6 + 9 Jahre) dort. Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen. Der Pool ist wunderschön angelegt und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Die Casina ist gut ausgestattet und bietet viele Sitzmöglichkeiten und einen Grill. Nina gab uns tolle Ausflugstipps, auch für die Kinder. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Ein kleines Paradies

Für den, der Ruhe liebt und Entschleunigung sucht, ist dieses Häuschen in der Nähe von Lucca genau das Richtige. Lesen unter den alten Olivenbäumen, Schwimmen im wunderschönen, großen Pool, Aperitivo mit Blick auf die umliegenden Hügel - für uns war es der perfekte Urlaub! Die Casina ist vollständig ausgestattet, ein großer Supermarkt ist in der Nähe, und Lucca und das Meer erreicht man in kurzer Zeit. Zudem hat die Casina wunderbare Gastgeber: diskret, aber immer ansprechbar. Danke, Nina und Julio, für die vielen guten Tipps und die interessanten, anregenden Gespräche. Wir haben uns bei euch wirklich zu Hause gefühlt!

Florence, Pise, Lucca (ma préférée) sont,au plus, à une heure de route. N'hésitez pas à venir à Aquiléa (l'épicerie-bar vaut le détour) vous serez merveilleusement accueillis par Nina et Giulio, deux hôtes d'une extrême gentillesse et de très bons conseils, nous avons rencontré deux belles personnes, encore merci à eux.
