Characteristic, Tuscan country house divided into three apartments, located among the hills north of Lucca. Stunning views, large patio and private swimmingpool. Perfect for a family vacation. WIFI.

This building, dating back to the 16th century is located in a fantastic position among the hills north of Lucca, overlooking the whole valley and the surrounding countryside, characterized by vineyards and olive groves. Here and there you see small stone houses and stately cypresses lining the roads. Just as you imagine when you close your eyes and think about Tuscany. Here you can relax in the peaceful countryside, but you are still not far from Lucca and in a central position to visit the sea or the rest of Tuscany.

The property consists of two buildings facing south which have been restored and converted into four separate apartments. Three of them are Podere Alte and the fourth is used by the hospitable owners.In front of the buildings there is a private garden with flat grass areas and furnished outdoor area with possibility to barbecue.Perfect for fresco meals all together enjoying the fantastic view.

The swimming pool (12 x 6 meter with a depth of 1.40) is located just below the property in a beautiful position overlooking the valley. The pool is completely private since the owners don't use it. Around the pool there are sun loungers. Children in or around the pool must be under adult supervision at all times.

Amazing apartments and pool just a few details could further improve
We had a lovely family stay: the views over Lucca, the birds on the wooded hillsides behind, the extraordinary secluded stone pool with steps down for kids, and the picture-postcard drive through Matraia and down to the excellent Esselunga supermarket are hard to beat. We also recommend getting Tamara from Lucca Cooking Classes over for a cooking class in your kitchen, and a meal for all (as well as Le Colonne in the village) The house in furnished in an old family style and our only suggestions would be for clearer written instructions (the owner is responsive but lives in Lucca), more glasses and silverware and a clearer checkout process.

Auftanken vor herrlicher Kulisse
Als größere Freundesgruppe haben wir nach einem schönen, abgeschiedenen Ort gesucht, an dem wir uns vom Alltag erholen können. Das Haus hat diese Erwartungen übertroffen. Es ist sauber, das Gelände ist groß und die Umgebung wunderschön. Besonders haben wir die Aussicht ins Tal in der Nacht genossen. Die Abwicklung und Organisation war sehr unkompliziert. Vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber!
