Once you find it ( use google earth and sat nav and ring when close!) you enter the gates into a haven of peace with the owner's house, a beautiful pool with ample loungers and shade, lovely views and a very warm and friendly welcome. The chalet is detached, large, beautifully restored, very comfortable and well equipped ( bring your own travel kettle and tea/coffee ).
The village has a few small shops with supermarkets a short drive away as are several excellent restaurants. Lucca is a 30 minute drive and was quiet in June with ample parking; we used the train from there to reach Florence, lovely but very crowded. The surrounding countryside is great for exploring and the pool area truly lovely for relaxing.
Paolo and Fosca and their family could not have done more for us and their wonderful welcome, daily gifts and chats in Italian/English played a large part in making our stay such a lovely experience. Wewould go back tomorrow!
