The farmhouse sits on its own 16 acre olive grove. It is very private and yet 20 minutes from Lucca, 40min. from Pisa, 45min. from Florence, 1hr. from Cinque Terre and Porto Fino. All destinations are reachable via train. Many other short day trips can expose you and your company to ancient history, adventure, and nature (the Mediterranean see and Apuane Alps are 30min. away). The villa is walking distance from the village and great home-style restaurants.
Although this residence is large, it sleeps only 8 for privacy

From the Guest Book:: Thank you for letting us stay at your Villa. We truly enjoyed dining under the olive trees, with good cheese and sipping your red wine. Refreshing in the pool was great during the hot hours, and enjoyed visiting the nearby towns in the evenings. Do we really need to leave? ...Oh well... To next year :)

August 2018 After spending our first week in Italy in Rome, Florence and Pisa sightseeing, we arrived at the villa. What a wonderful place up in the hills overlooking Lucca, total relaxation. The house is very spacious lovely big rooms and very comfortable and welcoming, the outside area is well equipped with a large table and chairs and of course the huge swimming pool which is well maintained. Myself my husband and two teenagers had a great week here and we were sorry to leave, hope to return one day 😁

Wonderful vacation home in the beautiful surroundings of Lucca

A very nice and spacious country house, restored and decorated with care. Highlights: the beautiful garden, the large pool and the excellent view! The owner and caretaker are very friendly and helpful. There’s so much activities to do and nature to explore but when it’s extremely hot, as we experienced, the pool and the BBQ are the two most important features of this house. Having the ‘pizza night’ as a paid optional service where home made pizzas are being prepared in the pizza oven (including all prep and leaving the kitchen all cleaned up) is highly recommended! If you are not an experienced driver or if you have a big car, driving up and down the hill to and from the house could be a challenge, but the location is breathtaking so it’s worth the trouble!

Sehr schönes Haus

Das Anwesen ist sehr schön und stilvoll restauriert worden. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen. Das Pizzabacken im hauseigenen Ofen war super. Nachts konnten wir Rehe und Wildschweine vor dem Haus beobachten. Die Zufahrt von Lucca aus ist etwas schwierig und dauert ca. 20 Minuten. Der Schotterweg zum Haus runter ist sehr eng, aber machbar. Der kleine Laden in Matraia ist zu empfehlen. Einige Verbesserungsvorschläge: die fast tägliche Poolreinigung und das Bewässern der Pflanzen passt nicht ganz zur Privatsphäre, die man erwartet, wenn man eine Privatvilla mietet, denn man kann sich dadurch nicht völlig ungezwungen und frei auf dem Grundstück bewegen. Der Sitzplatz vor dem Haus ist trotz der Überdachung nicht vollständig verschattet, so dass die Sonne ziemlich heiss durch die Gewebeplane durchscheint. Das Haus wird in den Schlafzimmern sehr warm und es gibt keine Klimaanlage, was eigentlich selbstverständlich wäre. Insgesamt dennoch ein tolles Ambiente.

Familien Sommerurlaub

Wir haben super erholsame Sommerferien genossen in der alten, liebevoll restaurierten Villa. Vom Check-in bis zum Check-out hat alles reibungslos funktioniert. Es ist wirklich alles vorhanden, um einen tollen Urlaub zu verbringen. Das Haus bietet viel Privatsphäre & Ruhe. Auch unseren zwei Teenager hat es sehr gefallen. Mit dem grossen Salzwasser Pool, dem Tischtennis Tisch, Tischfussball, Pizzaofen und dem geräumigen Haus, blieb kein Wunsch offen. Lorenzzo half ausserdem bei irgendwelchen Fragen oder Problemen. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort Ferien machen. Für Leute, die mit schmalen Strassen Probleme haben, ist es eher nicht zu empfehlen. Das Haus liegt in den Hügel oberhalb von Lucca und die Anfahrt ist sehr schmal & kurvig.
