Perfectly positioned for enjoying the Tuscan countryside as well as the medieval town of Lucca is this welcoming farmhouse. Set in the Maulina hills, famous in particular for their red wines, the restored property is the ideal choice for extended families or groups of friends looking for an Italian getaway. Spread over two floors, the bedrooms are large and bright. On the ground floor is a comfy living room and a small but very well-equipped kitchen. Our favourite area is the shaded terrace with a large dining table facing the surrounding landscape.
