Tuscan Hideaway
We needed a restful, peaceful and private experience, and this villa, it's fantastic grounds and location delivered on many counts.
Nestled on a quiet Tuscan hillside surrounded by olive trees and tranquility, with beautiful restful views out across the valley towards Lucca and the blue-gray mountains beyond, the terrace in front of the substantial well-appointed farmhouse and large salt water pool - (with total privacy and 360 degrees views of the stunning countryside), provided the perfect, relaxing spot to rest and re-charge.
5 minutes down the valley, Vorno hosts a lovely restaurant serving a wide variety of superb food, and 20 minutes away the walled city of Lucca with it's charming antiquities, restaurants, shops and many churches provides plenty of interest. Walk the tree lined surrounding walls as the sun sets.
It's just 25 minutes drive from Pisa, the airport and an hour's drive to Florence, using the motorways or back roads. Re-visiting Florence was delightful.
Our hosts could not have been more helpful, generous and welcoming with advice throughout our stay... ultimately this was an ideal getaway.
We would recommend it to anyone wanting a genuine Tuscan escape! Thank you to Silvia & Paulo, it was a memorable and exceptional place to spend some quality time.
