About this property

Cottage set in it's own woods near Lucca

The restored two storey cottage is situated in a very private position, surrounded by woodland and with wonderful views particularly of Celle di Puccini, the village where Puccini was raised. 5 Minutes from shops and restaurants, less than half an hour from Lucca.

Originally constructed in 1738 the cottage retains the atmosphere of a typical Tuscan farmhouse. Equipped with many modern appliances and features to ensure it is comfortable in both winter and summer alike. On the ground floor is a spacious open plan kitchen/dining room. Gas central heating has recently been put in. The living room is centered around a working fireplace and includes a sofa bed, TV, DVD and satellite.

The first floor contains two good sized bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with bunk beds, both with stunning views. There is a landing/sitting area.
The cottage sits in an area rich in historic and cultural interest, approximately 15 kms north of the ancient walled city of Lucca.

Lucca is a charming and beautiful city, with its priceless art treasures, narrow cobbled streets flanked by imposing palazzos, secluded squares, gardens and Romanesque churches. Whilst retaining all the elements of its age and history one finds sophisticated shops and restaurants. On the third weekend of every month there is a fantastic antiques fair which lasts for 2 days.

Throughout the summer months there are various classical and contemporary music festivals. On top of the medieval walls which enclose Lucca are wide and shady tree lined avenues. Here the locals and tourists alike, stroll, cycle and walk their dogs. There are grassy ramparts ideal for relaxing after sight seeing or you can hire bikes and ride around the 4km of wall. A great way to see the city from up high

Lovely Home from Home Cottage
The house is lovely and everything to could possibly need is available in the cottage. Short drive to local shops where you can buy local produce. All in all a great holiday. The historic city of Lucca is a 20 minute drive where you can enjoy a walk along the city wall.

Charming cottage set in woods in the mountains
We found this typical Tuscan cottage in a stunning setting in the woods in the mountains, it is secluded but with civilisation less than 2 miles away down a fairly narrow windy road. We found everything we needed in the cottage, it has been tastefully furnished and was spotlessly clean. We found the lady who had the key delightful, and we're confident that if we had had a problem she would have helped us. The owner answered all our queries before we arrived and we found the cottage exactly as it was described. We would recommend the property to a friend if they wanted to relax in a quiet tranquil setting enjoying the wildlife and walking in the woods, also as a base for exploring the area. There is a good range of local shops 4 miles away and a little further away an excellent supermarket Esselunga, the fresh fruit and vegetables and the cooked chicken were really good. We found La Terrasse restaurant at the roundabout, four miles from the cottage suited us very well with simple traditional Italian food and reasonable wine, so went there most evenings. Thank you for a lovely Tuscan experience.

Liebevoll renoviertes Häuschen in der Natur
Mit viel Liebe und Geschmack wurde das Haus im Wald renoviert. Alte Terrassen wurde frei gemacht und bieten einen traumhaften Blick an. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Serpentinstraße gehört für diesen Teil der Toscana dazu.

Dear Michelle, dear Peter. We do not want to miss to thank you for the wonderful time in your house. We felt comfortable right from the start. We didn't expect a set up so perfectly and completely. With great attention to detail and lovingly in general. We feel that you have installed a very important part of British culture and love in your cottage. Only a few people will be able to appreciate the value of the place, a special jewel. Thanks so much for that and we hope you in the best of health. Safe landings for Peter, I enjoyed his journals after a break of more than 20 years. Frank und Pia Maria
