There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms en suite on the lower floor with access directly into the garden. Upstairs there is a very light spacious sitting/dining room with a characteristic Tuscan fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with a lovely picture window looking out to the surrounding hills. Leading out of the kitchen is a terrace for al fresco eating. There is mosquito netting. Podere Consani is a group of old houses on the top of a small hill - it lies in an idyllic setting amongst well-tended natural gardens,(lavender, roses, lemons and herbs) that lead into the adjacent olive groves, vineyard & woodland, in the hills between Lucca and the coast. The house shares a swimming pool with another property in the garden - this is also possible to be rented if you are a bigger group (See property 75096 Casa Cherubino - sleeps 6/7). The owners take great care to ensure guests are happy during their stay whilst respecting their privacy. They produce their own wine and olive oil. Nature-lovers,painters and walkers alike cannot fail to enjoy the wonderful surroundings and lovely views and although Podere Consani is set in this oasis of peace, it is however only 15 minutes before the majestic walls of Lucca come into sight. There is the possibility to have cooking lessons or have a meal cooked for you in the house. It is also possible to have a variety of massages at the house or in the garden.

Her family are quintessential Italian and we loved hearing her grandchildren calling each other across the garden, hearing the neigh of the horses and next doors donkey in the distance.

The pool was gorgeous, we ate every night outside, and loved going to visit the horses and goats with our daughter. We LOVED Lucca and would highly recommend this area if you are thinking of coming to Tuscany. It is close to Florence, Cinque Terre and the town of Lucca itself is lovely.

Just taking the winding road up to the property will put you in a different world. Surrounded by grape vines and olive trees made you realize you are now in Tuscany. Our cottage offered everything we needed to relax and experience a peaceful retreat. The beautiful pool was just out our back door to give us another way to unwind. The location also provided a very convenient homebase to wander in any direction to investigate Lucca and the surrounding areas. Our hosts, Susan and Lelio were delightful. They were always available and had wonderful suggestions on places to visit and fabulous restaurants to discover the local cuisine. Do not hesitate to take a trip to this Tuscan retreat.

We had a fabulous time staying at La Capanna. It was our second time in Tuscany, having stayed in a hotel in Florence before. I have to say that this was so much better as we had all the benefits of the beautiful Tuscan countryside and we could visit all the towns and cities when we wanted. Our hosts were so welcoming and helpful without being on top of us which was perfect! The house was just right and felt like a real home rather than a rental with outlooks onto the beautifully maintained gardens and woodland. The views down the valley into Lucca were spectacular. We really enjoyed all the local produce, especially the wine and olive oil from our hosts. Having explored everywhere in the daytime, it was lovely to come home to a log fire, it was all very cosy! We will be back. Thank you. ##### Nic B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew H.

The property itself is well equipped, with two well sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The upstairs provides direct access to the shared pool and the properties shaded seating area. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay. It is a great location to unwind, relax and enjoy the sunshine or cook some food on the barbecue. We also loved the dogs and cats visiting us throughout our stay and the whole property has a lovely friendly vibe. The location allows for days trips in the Tuscan hills, local vineyards or to Lucca. From Lucca (as we did) you can get the train to Florence or elsewhere. Susan was great throughout our arrival and guided us to the cottage when we arrived. She was also helpful with suggestions where to visit and where we might eat. She additionally very helpfully booked a table at the local excellent Italian restaurant where you get a proper Italian experience. We really enjoyed our time at Podere Consani and would highly recommend. ##### Andrew H. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie L.

The home is well appointed and we cooked many meals and wanted for not. We were invited to the fresh herbs from the garden and enjoyed the home grown olive oil provided in a lovely welcome basket. Our host was absolutely incredible and available for any inquiries. Also, she had provided some provisions that we did not anticipate we would be needing (extra toilet paper, and laundry detergent). The property is clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We were able to have space and time alone as well as gathering for meals, coffee and wine. Very comfortable for 3-4 people. The drive up to the property is scenic and tranquil. It was a little tricky at first but then we sorted out the gps and it became super simple. The short trip down the hill to the market, or a little further into the lovely town of Lucca makes this location perfect to get away and enjoy simplicity or venture not too far out to experience the magic of the antiquity of Italy. We will come back again. We are so grateful for Susan, her family and, of course, the wonderful animals that greeted us upon arrival and every morning for coffee. ##### Leslie L. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marion D., Caterham May 22, 2018 #### Tuscan charm with the benefit of great hosts It’s been a busy busy year so we were looking forward to a break, and although we had a good idea of the area, nothing prepared us for Podere Consani. It overlooks hills and vales, surrounded by olive trees, and the cottage was enclosed in a wonderful sensory experience. Susan welcomed us warmly and after settling in was on hand to outline places we might like to explore. We were also warmly welcomed by her dogs, and they soon settled into our daily lives. We loved Luca, there was something new to discover each time we popped in either for breakfast or lunch. It is also a handy place to visit Pisa and Florence by train from. Another little hill town to explore is Bragga with its narrow streets and stunning views. When not out and about we enjoyed the space and tranquility of the cottage, it was well laid out, the kitchen area leading out to a terrace.and included the use of a pool. Susan was available if we had any questions about our accommodation but the cottage had everything we needed. We would most definitely recommend Podere Consani to anyone who is looking for charm, with views,the opportunity to learn more about Tuscany within a family setting. Thank you so much we will be looking forward to our next visit. ##### Marion D. Stayed 7 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter U. Nov 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical place and client-oriented owner We stayed off season (November) and can confirm, that the stay was pleasant even though we had a little child (2,5yo) and were concerned if the heating in the house would be sufficient. The owner set the heating sufficiently and we had a pleasant stay. The house and the whole property is magical and we recommend visit there. Note that it's an old house and although it's well maintained it happens that some equipment fails. We had a problem with toilet flushing and washing machine, but each issue was swiftly and proactively fixed by the owner and caused no issue to us, I very value this professional and client oriented approach. I would like to take opportunity to apologize the owner for accidentally braking the washing machine door handle and thank for the quick fix and no hassle. I should also note that we booked the property not only off season but also only one night prior to the arrival leaving the owner no time for preparation when I assume not much guests would be expected - even on such short notice everything was just perfect. We even got to swim in the pool by the late November :-) Thank you Susan. ##### Peter U. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fred A. Sep 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Couldn't have been better We thank our lucky stars that we decided to stay at Podere Consani. We hoped that it would be quietly rural, pleasant and scenic, and it was all these things but so much more. Our hostess, Suzy, was immensely kind and helpful. She and her husband have a large family and friends who give the place a lot of life but manage to be completely unobtrusive. The estate is large, including a big swimming pool, an equestrian ring, the main house and two smaller houses that serve as the guest cottages. We were in the smaller one and it was more than amply big, lovely, comfortable and filled with the kitchen utensils and other items we needed to make for an easy stay. We could have stayed by the pool, swimming and drinking in the beauty, but fortunately Suzy, gave us wonderful advice about day trips which made our stay more interesting. Listen to her when she advises you to go to the Cinque Terre, you won't be sorry! In fact, listen to her ideas on all fronts. And take a bathing suit! Suzy is originally English but has lived in Italy with her family for a long time and really knows what's worth seeing and doing. We will remember this welcoming and beautiful place and have pictures in our minds of eating out on the porch, or viewing the lights of Lucca from the vinyard. Thank you, Suzy and family! ##### Fred A.
