Nonno Giulivo Farmhouse, a Modern Hidden Tuscan Sanctuary with Private Pool
Breezy contemporary style puts a chic twist on the classic Tuscan holiday at Nonno Giulivo Farmhouse. This private retreat overlooks Lucca from an idyllic location in the village of San Ginese di Compito. That’s close to Lucca town (10 mins by car) and to several local medieval hamlet such as Volterra, Montecarlo and many others. Its expansive grounds and 4 bedrooms are perfect for a quiet stay with family or a sightseeing trip with friends.
Your stay at this luxury vacation rental includes an infinity private swimming pool that measures 12 metres x 6 metres with a jacuzzi corner. Revel in the Tuscan sun from outdoor living areas with a pool, lounging and dining areas, and a barbecue. Or unwind inside with the help of the TV, air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
The villa’s stone walls and wood-beamed ceilings incorporate classic Italian country charm. Sleek furnishings and an open-concept layout, however, add a modern touch.
While it would be easy to spend a week or more relaxing at Nonno Giulivo Farmhouse, there’s plenty to explore beyond its lush gardens. Take a honeymoon-worthy stroll along the pictoresque lake Lago Della Gherardesca close-by, bring children to play in the shallow waters of Versilia or at the local Pinocchio’s park or tee off with friends at a nearby winery. If you’re in the mood for a day trip, indulge in a one-of-a-kind experience in Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, Montecatini Terme, Lajatico and Cinque Terre: all these Tuscan landmarks are within or just over an hour away by car.

Rest and Relaxation
We loved the location ,set in the countryside but just a short drive to Lucca.
We were a family of 8 so the 2 houses gave us space and we could gather in the evening at the large table outside.
The grounds and pool were fabulous surrounded by Olive trees.
Filippo gave us very clear directions to the property.
We would definitely stay here again. The area was so nice for country walks with beautiful fields of sunflowers.
We had an issue with a smell in one property and we were a bit slow mentioning it as it was never apparent in the morning and only built up as heat built up
Filippo didnt have a chsnce to resolve until we were close to our leaving date.We believe this issue has now been sorted ,a malfunction with a refrigerator.

Bella Italia
We were allowed to spend a week in this beautiful accommodation. The outdoor area leaves nothing to be desired. The pool is a dream, very clean and warm.
The houses are clean and equipped with everything you need. The area is very beautiful and directly around the property it is very quiet. All in all, we had a wonderful holiday.
The contact with Filippo was always uncomplicated and very friendly & nice. He always responded quickly to our messages.
The only thing we have to complain about is that the dishwasher does not clean the dishes.
And we missed a wine cooler, the little worries in life -).

Nonno Giulivo - thank you Filippo
We recently spent an unforgettable family holiday at Nonno Giulivo, a beautiful villa in Tuscany, and we loved every single day of our stay. The villa itself is an absolute gem, elegantly designed with all the modern amenities while still retaining that authentic Tuscan charm. The views from the villa are nothing short of breathtaking, with rolling hills and olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see.
Each morning, we woke up to the serene beauty of the countryside and enjoyed our breakfast on the terrace, soaking in the sunshine and fresh air. The spacious layout of the villa was perfect for our family, with plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the living areas provided a cozy spot for evening gatherings.
The location of the villa is ideal for exploring the Tuscan region. We took short drives to Lucca, indulged in local cuisine, and visited some of the most picturesque wineries.
The highlight of our stay was the villa's outdoor space. The private pool was a hit with the kids, and we spent many afternoons enjoying the beautiful scenery.
My special thanks go to Filippo who was incredibly welcoming and helpful, offered fantastic recommendations that made our trip even more special.
