Vacation Rental Description
Villa Maura has only been opened in July 2008 and has modern forniture. The villa has a direct access to the beautiful swimming pool, with a shallow end perfect for the children, that is situated in our own characteristic olive grove. Leading from the living room is a patio with barbeque, furnished with a table and chairs to enable you to dine al fresco. The bright kitchen has 2 windows. The open space on the ground floor is a dining and living room. An Italian marble stair takes you upstairs, where there are: one double plus one and one twin/triple bedroom. Total of 3 bathrooms (with shower or bathtub). Laundry room. This is why the villa is ideal for families, with plenty in the surrounding area to see and do during your stay.  
Villa Maura is situated in a peaceful and panoramic location, immersed in the green hills of the Parco delle Cerbaie and in the Padule di Fucecchio (unique area where even storks come to nest). It is located in the heart of Tuscany, with the art cities of Pisa, Lucca, Florence within very easy reach and many lesser know treasures still to be explored nearby.  
Private indoor parking.  
There is a nice bar / restaurant / pizzeria (also to go) you can walk to. 
In Fucecchio there are typical restaurants, pizzerie, wineries, characteristic shops, shopping centres, sports grounds (tennis, golf, horse-back riding facilities).  
We prefer to send driving directions depending on the origin of our guests. We are very close to either an exit Firenze Mare A11 to the motorway Firenze-Pisa-Livorno. The airports of Pisa Galileo Galilei (Ryanair) and Florence Peretola are easily reached within an hour. 
Ryanair in Pisa flies low cost from/to: Birmingham, Leeds, Bournemouth, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow Prestwick, Liverpool, London Stansted and Dublin.

You can relax in the garden sipping an aperitivo while the tomato sauce boils in the kitchen, then have a nice dinner with a steak cooked in your own BBQ as you watch the sunset.

Both the motorway exit of Alopascio and the one of the Superstrada Firenze-Pisa-Livorno are quite close.

    Owner Location Comment
    On the penultimate weekend of May the town of Fucecchio hosts the traditional horse race Palio delle Contrade. The Palio delle Contrade is an important kermesse, a sort of commemoration of the Contesa which took place in Fucecchio around 1200. The last Palio performed on June 14th 1863: in that moment, the Giostra was buried, until today, when the twelve contrade give life to this old challenge. It is a day that passionates of traditional festival should not miss: an historical parade takes place in the morning, while the horse race is held in the afternoon, at Buca del Palio.
