Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This traditional Tuscan villa has been split into three apartments, making it an ideal base for a group looking to holiday together yet still enjoy some private time. That said, the outdoor space will naturally draw everyone together. With a private pool, sun-drenched terraces, alfresco dining opportunities and views across the olive groves of the Serchio Valley, it’s sure to be a popular spot with all. A car is necessary here, but that makes it all the easier to take day trips to Lucca, Pisa, or Florence.

Home truths
This traditional villa has been split into three apartments with separate entrances, but they also interconnect. Two of the apartments have two bedrooms, with the third apartment containing one.
Three of the bedrooms can be set up as doubles or twins upon request.
One bedroom is on a mezzanine level and semi-open to the space below, so privacy is limited.
The swimming pool, open from May until October, isn't fenced. Children will need to be supervised at all times.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot and high chair upon request.
We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there's private parking for three cars here. The approach road is uneven to this home.
