About this property

Apartment with independent entrance & hall, spacious living area with fully fitted kitchen, double sofa bed, large double bedroom and bathroom with shower.

The main village is 300m walk away through olive groves, where you will find a baker's, two butcher's, a greengrocer's and a newsagent's. There are several restaurants and bars in the village. You can enjoy a varied holiday: relaxing by the pool in the garden & wandering through the village, visiting cultural cities & hill-top towns(being south of Lucca this is an excellent location for touring Tuscany), walking in marshlands & mountains, sunbathing on the beach. English owners always available for advice. The apartment is in a typical Italian courtyard setting where 2 families live full-time, so you can experience real Italian living (which can sometimes be noisy!)

Amazing stay

We had the best time here and are so grateful to Lucy, Clive and their family for being such brilliant hosts. The setting is incredible with beautiful views of the hills, olive groves and villages from the pool. The apartment is well equipped and very clean, with a nice area to eat outside. The village of Colle di Compito is close by and has sweet little shops and some restaurants and a pizzeria we’d recommend. Lucy and Clive were so kind and welcoming, helping us with advice and recommendations for the area. We loved spending time with them and their lovely dog Amber by the gorgeous pool. We can’t recommend this place enough and would love to return again soon. Thank you, Lucy and Clive!

Perfect

Very helpful and welcoming hosts; beautiful property in a great location. We had a fabulous week there. The private garden is lovely and there is a pool to cool down in. Spacious property for two. Colle di Compito is a perfect base for exploring Tuscany. We hired a car at Pisa Airport. Lucca is a must see, well worth hiring bikes to make it easy to get around. We also visited Florence, Pisa, Cinque Torre and San Gimignano

Amazing and beautiful house , wonderful hosts.

Beautiful, full apartment in the Italian countryside in wonderful farmhouse; with all the amenities one needs. Full kitchen, bathroom, double bed and dining area, inside and out. Lucy and Clive are very knowledgeable hosts who are experts on the surrounding area, Lucca and Florence. They had many suggestions on things to do near the house and in surrounding towns. Driving distance to Lucca or a short bus ride and just a train ride away from florence.Breathtaking views of Tuscany all around and a lovely place to go on a walk and get lost in the view.Clive and Lucy went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable!

Charming, quaint, quiet apartment

The apartment is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was plenty of room for my family of 5. The apartment was clean and full of country charm. Lucy and Clive made themselves available whenever we needed anything. They are very nice.

Great

Clive and Lucy, We had a wonderful holiday in your apartment. We enjoyed the peace and quite of the private garden in the apartment. Your welcome basket was great and the charcoal and matches for the barbecue was a lovely touch. We found the takeaway and the local restaurant were convient. The location was spot on near to Lucca, Pisa and other locations. Yet peaceful and quite,you were there to help if needed but not inttrusive. We will recommend your accommodation to our friends.we had a truly lovely holiday. Donal and Maire

About the host

Hosted by Clive and Lucy Woollard

Although I work a lot in the UK, I spend as much time as possible with my wife and 4 boys at our beautiful home in Colle di Compito, where we have had a home since 2006. Throughout 2009 we have restored, with the help of local craftsmen, the ground floor apartment to our house. We are all English, but my wife and family speak Italian fluently.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house to make a family home in our ideal location, which also makes it ideal as a holiday destination. The house is set in beautiful countryside, yet only walking distance from all amenities. With travelling regularly locality to good airports at Pisa and Florence is important. I sometimes work in Florence and the commute to the city centre is easy from the train station at Pontedera.
The village has a lovely feel and the people are very welcoming, many locals will try and speak English. All summer the locals meet at Il Campo, a playground with Tennis, Volley ball, Football and bocce (a kind of bowls), from 9:00 in the evening until the early hours, every generation is there and you would be made most welcome. There are many festivals to enjoy locally.

What makes this property unique

The English owners are resident upstairs, so any difficulties you have can be quickly resolved, ideal for those who are concerned about language problems.
The village is served by a reasonable bus route and the train station is excellent in Pontedera. It is possible to stay in the village without a car (taxi from airport about 70 euros) and still visit Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
There is excellent walking directly from the house, either in the Pisan mountains or to the marshes below including a WWF protected reservation.
