Vacation Rental Description
The accommodation offers the choice of two beautiful, spacious and well equipped eco friendly farmhouses both of which can accommodate up to seven people. They can either be rented separately or together for larger parties and enjoy the use of a shared and secure swimming pool. The farmhouses are set on the south facing slopes of the Monti Pisani, an environmentally protected area of outstanding natural beauty, in the midst of terraced olive grove, fruit trees, birds and wild flowers. Both farmhouses command spectacular views over forest, field, Pisa, The Leaning Tower and The Mediterranean Sea beyond. The ever changing countryside offers the holiday maker a year round choice for travel.

Eco choice: The accommodation is a genuine eco conscious choice. It is powered by the sun via photo voltaic solar panels generating the entire electricity supply. It is natural spring water fed – one washes in it, bathes in it and swims in it – wonderful ! Rainwater is collected for the plants and allotments. With many other green initiatives this is a destination to feel good about.

Great location: The farmhouses are in a superb position: about 20 minutes by road from both Pisa and Lucca, 30 minutes from the coast, an hour from Florence and lesser known gems making exploration fun and worth while. The combination of hills, sea and proximity to places of cultural interest make this a holiday location to suit and inspire all moods and fancies at all times of year.

Special things to do and see here
Horse riding: Ride in the maritime wooded nature reserve of San Rossore and go bird watching on the lake of nearby Torre del Lago. Here the composer Puccini wrote his most famous works and every summer there is an open air lakeside opera festival held in his honour.

Relaxation: Spend a restful and peaceful time at home taking in the views and listening to the birdsong.

Swimming pool: On hot days you can cool off in the pool which enjoys a spectacular and uninterrupted view of Pisa and the hills across the plain below. There is a comfortable surrounding area, furnished with sun loungers and a small table, which is ideal for sunbathing by day and for gentle basking as the sun gradually sets in the evening. Shade is provided by a large umbrella and olive trees.

Walking: Walk well-maintained and extensive forest trails. The views are simply breathtaking and the flora and fauna are glorious.

Cycling: The Giro D’Italia (the equivalent of the Tour de France) comes through this area. It is great road and off road cycling country. We can organise bikes with local cycle companies if required.

The perfect holiday destination for rest and relaxation with beautiful villas, great facilities and stunning views. the owners were welcoming and full of good advice while being careful to maintain our desire for peace and quiet. The villas have easy car access to Pisa, Lucca and Florence as well as glorious walks through olive groves and hills close by. We had a wonderful time and I have recommended La Lucertola to friends and family.

We visited La Lucertola a few years ago and it was quite simply enchanting. Stunning views of the surrounding countryside and you can also see the Leaning Tower in the distance - amazing. The house was very comfortable and the hosts were extremely personable. There's lots to do with the beach a short trip away and the wonderful town of Lucca nearby too. The best bit? Sipping wine on the terrace whilst drinking in that amazing view - highly recommended!

It is just that - excellent. Worth the money and a real experience. The holiday we all need is to be found at La Lucertola.

Wonderful houses - tastefully appointed, properly equipped - one could live here all year round. Views - amazing - how many places on earth can boast a view of one of the 7 wonders of the world from their balcony? Space outside the houses luxurious and ample for all needs. Wood fired pizza oven - a winner. Pool - just the ticket. Space inside the houses - plenty, comfortable and thoughtfully presented. This is a genuine and magnificent setting. Owners - on hand if you need but never in the way - helpful for tips on eating and visiting and also nice to have a chat with. Can't fault it - would do it again.

I'd always heard how wonderful Tuscany was. I now think that is a complete understatement, it's simply the best place in Europe! But I also think one can only truly experience Tuscany if they see do it from La Lucertola which is far the best choice anyone can go for. It's just the place to be. I've been over and over and keep recommending it to people who all agree, La Lucertola...look no further!
