Piece of Paradise
Massimo's cottage is what we imagined true Tuscany to be. Nestled in the hills overlooking the town of Lucca, the village of Torre pockmarks the green landscape. The antique furnishings and style of the cottage makes you feel transported back in time to bygone era. So relaxing was time spent at this property, that we had a hard time getting up to explore the town of Lucca and further afield. Massimo himself (and wife Isabella whom we meet briefly) was the perfect host. Very knowledgeable about the surrounding area with plenty of advice and tips on where to park, dine and visit. No request was a problem for him (including guiding us back to base after getting lost). It was with a heavy heart that we left Casa Tonino and Massimo's company, but gladdened by the thought that we experienced this piece of paradise.
