This Tuscan farmhouse in the hills of Lucca is made for switching off. Surrounded by olive groves and fruit trees, it’s lovely and private, with lavender blooming out the front in spring. The swimming pool and shaded terraces are our favourite areas – made for long, leisurely afternoons at your own pace. Inside, it’s more traditional than modern, but with everything you need to settle in, including a well-equipped kitchen and cosy living spaces. Outside, there’s even a vegetable garden to pick your own fresh produce from. And if you want something to do, Lucca, Pisa, and Florence are all within reach.

Home truths

  • While not all bathrooms are photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

  • The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.

  • Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. The final 1.5km of the road leading to this home is a little rugged, so it may not suit low-suspension vehicles or nervous drivers.

  • If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request it in advance.

  • This home includes nine hours of cleaning per week.

About Lucca

Lucca is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by fortified walls, its core is a warren of pretty piazzas, traditional Tuscan trattorias, and beautifully preserved churches.
