Huge Private Garden, AC in Bedrooms, Swimming Pool, Hot Tub and Wonderful Views

Il Gobbo is a fabulous holiday house close to the beautiful city of Lucca, Tuscany. This traditional Tuscan farmhouse, set in the midst of olive groves, wildflower meadows and vineyards, is part of an organic smallholding/ agriturismo. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, sleeps up to 14 people; 11 adults, plus three children under 12 yrs. All bedrooms have air conditioning. Comfortable and welcoming, the 300m2 house is built on two floors and has been sympathetically restored, maintaining its original structure and charm.

Casa il Gobbo has an enormous garden, 14m long saltwater pool, large children’s play area, relaxation area with sun loungers, ample shade, spa hot tub, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven. The covered veranda with two wooden tables is a great place to enjoy an alfresco breakfast or dinner, surrounded by the colours, sounds and scents of the Tuscan countryside.

Ideally positioned for visits to Lucca and Tuscany’s historic centres of art and culture: Capannori motorway exit is just 11km away. Reach the Mediterranean coastline and beach in 30 mins; Garfagnana and the rugged peaks of the Apuan Alps in 50 minutes. The local road from the house leads up through ancient villages to Pizzorne, a hilly area where the woods are perfect for hiking, or picnicking, and which offers spectacular views.

Our family carefully restored Casa il Gobbo and has let it as a holiday home since 1987. We continue to make it even more sustainable. Recent eco-friendly upgrades include installing a low energy air conditioning system, solar panels for hot water and converting the swimming pool to saltwater. Our family continues to oversee every aspect of our guests’ stay to ensure they have the best experience and most relaxing holiday possible.

Casa il Gobbo is perfect for couples, families, groups and celebrations.

Peaceful and lots of space
We loved Il Gobbo! We spent 3 weeks at house with 2 other couples, which was perfect. We all had our own part of the house. They have lots of beautiful dishes, glasses for an elegant dinner at large dining room. Elisa was so helpful with information about house, area and gave us great places to go visit. She set up tour of where they press the olives. We had a simple problem with dryer, and it was fixed same day. The outdoor area is great, I loved having my coffee at 16-foot outdoor table, looking at the beautiful view of Lucca. They helped setup chef to cook at house several times. The pool was a little cold to get into but after a few laps it was refreshing. Next time we go it will be with all our children and grandkids. Thank you, Loretta, Mario and Elisa,

What a fantastic property
From the minute Elisa contacted us with directions until we left she could not have been more helpful - we loved the house, everything had been considered and we were all so impressed - the views are amazing, the pool is great, the kitchen so well stocked with every utensil you could need. The electric lawnmower gave us a surprise on the first night but we grew to like watching him do his rounds! My only reservation is letting anyone else know how fantastic this property is and not being able to book again! Thank you Elisa - we had a great holiday.

Fantastic farmhouse in the Tuscan hills
We stayed for 10 days with extended family. Gorgeous views, wonderful modern kitchen, private saltwater pool, wonderful amenities for family vacations. A pool, a soccer field, swings, a small playhouse for kids and a lawnmower robot that kept the grass down. Best of all, there was AC in every bedroom since it was extremely hot. Highly recommend the place.

Wonderful 3 generation family holiday
Elisa was a very welcoming and helpful host. Non intrusive but available if needed. The highlights of Il Gobbo for our family group of 10 were the fabulous swimming pool with hot tub jacuzzi and the very large modern kitchen. The remainder of the house is traditional which we like. There are good restaurants and pizza places nearby and the bar in the village a short walk away makes you welcome.

Dream come true in Tuscany
We had the most amazing dream come true vacation at this beautiful villa! The Villa is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, clean, and charming. We were a group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Everyone was thrilled with it. Elisa was wonderful and so helpful. She organized a chefs dinner for us and massages at the Villa. They were both phenomenal. Our only complaint was that we did not have long enough there and didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to go back and the olive oil is also delicious!

I love this place!
Always sceptical about pictures on a website but on arrival the villa proved itself and more so. Amazing new kitchen, close to the outside dining table. The pool is fab and the jacuzzi, which of course we never said we’d use, was lovely, with a view to die for. All the bedrooms were fantastic, bathrooms too and the air con a god send at times. The decor is traditional (which we liked) and the lovely new kitchen is a great addition. Well stocked with all you could need. The owners always replied quickly to any questions and were helpful with questions about the local areas. Would I go again? 100%! Make sure you buy their olive oil, wine and, if you like onions, they’re chutney too…

Amazing property and family
14 of us stayed here and the property and house exceeded our expectations. There is a new spacious kitchen, everyone had a bed, the bedrooms were air conditioned, and the pool and jacuzzi were a life saver in the heat! Elise was available to answer our questions and coordinated a chef to cook for us one night.

Wonderful
We had a wonderful experience in this fabulous home. Our stay exceeded all of our expectations. Our children loved the pool, hot tub, and the farm animals (horse, donkey, pony, ducks and chickens). Bedrooms and bathrooms were plentiful and comfortable for our group of 10. The pool is amazing with a salt water system and lots of lounges for sunbathing. The peace and quiet of the grounds allow you to hear the songbirds singing all day. The brand new air conditioned kitchen has everything we needed. It's huge, modern and has a large, comfortable table with seating for at least 12 people. We truly enjoyed cooking all together in this excellent space. Our hostesses, Elisa and Loretta, were gracious and very helpful. We arrived without food. Elisa drove two of us to the supermarket to shop for supplies on the evening we arrived so that we would have enough food for our entire stay. Overall, this is an exceptional vacation experience for larger groups and gets a five star rating from our family!!!
