Our conclusion is that this option is a great offering for those wishing to use a property as a base to explore the area without the need to travel half way down a mountain, yet with the benefits of exclusive use of a pool, which one usually only finds with a rural villa.

NB - IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE that this is not a villa holiday. The villa is the owners' family home, and they let out the 2 apartments to guests. They do not use your garden or pool area and do all they can to respect privacy. They do have their own family garden at the back of the property . They also park outside so you have parking on site (although they may occasionally use the driveway for unloading). Of course you have the added benefit that the owners can help you out if you need anything!

A little about the area

The property is close to the historic centre of the mediaeval walled City of Lucca and also Lucca train station  - 2.1km by foot and 4km by car.

The train station of Lucca regularly serves Florence, Pisa, and the seaside direct and there is also access to Siena and Montecatini etc with one change.

Exploring by bicycle is a favourite in Lucca and there are lots of places to hire them .......

Ideal base just a 50min drive from Florence, half hour from Montecatini, half hour from Pisa, 20 mins from the beach, 90 mins from Siena, 40 mins from the mountainous Garfagnana and the mediaeval town of Barga this is an ideal location for those that wish to explore with ease.

But, with so much to do in the beautiful walled city of Lucca, this is also an ideal spot for a long weekend away.........Lucca, has regular markets, antiques markets, outdoor concerts, designer shopping, nightly opera recitals,  the wall for cycling, relaxing, children's parks, plenty of restaurants and bars, beautiful Piazzas.....

For those days when a total rest is required, just relax by the pool.........
