This beautiful old stone farmhouse with its fully restored barn nearby is set in rolling countryside only 15 minutes from Lucca.The two properties together provide an ideal solution for 2 or 3 families.Located 9 kms west of Lucca, set in lush rolling countryside, this 12th century stone farmhouse was restored this year retaining all the original old features. Characteristic antique cotto floors,chestnut beams,an old fireplace and some antique furniture settle contentedly with bright,comfortable furnishings and modern appliances.

As is traditional for the larger farmhouses there is a detached cottage very close by (La Piccolina # 24005 )that sleeps 4/5 and can either be booked together to sleep a total of 12/15 guests with private pool.
Both homes are used as country retreats and retain that home from home feel as opposed to sometimes souless rental properties.

This being serious Lucca wine country there are several vineyards open for wine tasting within a 10 minute drive eg Tenuta Maria Teresa, Tenuta Forci and Greo.
There are also restaurants nearby with alfresco terraces eg Vigna Ilaria,Vipore and Lombardo within a 10 minute drive too.
The nearest villages are San Macario in Piano 4 kms away where there is a small grocery shop,bakery and butchers and Sant'Alessio also 4kms in direction of Lucca. There is a Conad Supermarket,a petrol station,a butchers,newspaper shop and ice cream parlour.Osteria Tambellini is good for lunch and also a morning capuccino and croissant.
Il Bamboro is an excellent neighbourhood trattoria where the locals eat.
Lucca is fun for children with its little parks with well equipped shady playgrounds,the Museum of Cartoons,many ice cream parlours, the fortified walls that can be viewed best by renting a bicycle (just inside Port Elisa.)
