Once part of a 14th century farmhouse, this apartment is a Tuscan gem. Less than ten miles from Lucca near the village of San Gennaro, this home is off the beaten track – so much so that cars with lower suspension may struggle to reach the front door. Upon arrival, you'll find a living and dining area with an unobtrusive kitchen, plus two double bedrooms, one with its own outdoor seating area. Speaking of outdoors, perhaps the home's star attraction is its dazzling pool area, which you'll share with guests in other apartments. Perfect for basing up in the heart of Tuscany, you can explore the region at leisure, or simply admire the vineyards and olive groves from your sun lounger.
