Villa Papari, Smart Convenient Farmhouse on the Lucca Hills
Immerse yourself in the peaceful rural setting of a traditional farmhouse with a true Tuscan feel. Surrounded by green lawns and woods, with plenty of space for groups, Villa Papari offers several living areas and two kitchens, adding flexibility to groups of friends wishing to holiday together, yet retaining some independence. The fully fenced estate and the spacious gardens make it ideal for families with children, who will spend hours playing with the funny ducks in the fully fenced private lake. Inside, beams, bricks and cotto floors testify the historic character of the original building. With windows and French doors open, an inviting Tuscan breeze will seduce you to slow down your days.
You'll have country walks and biking paths on your doorstep, and pretty villages to explore, such as Montecarlo, renowned for the wine cellars, the several good restaurants and a folkloristic wine festival in the Falls.
Find out your favourite tastes through the local trattorias and learn the mastery of the “cucina povera”. Once the villagers’ food, these delicious dishes of the Tuscan culinary tradition have nowadays become delicacies on Tuscan tables.
There’s no better way to start your day than having your coffee in the garden, with the chirping of the birds the only sound to disturb the peace. Spend amusing dinners at the dining table of the green house, also ideal for cooking classes or pizza parties. Although an ideal nest for a quiet retreat, there are plenty of towns to discover in easy day trips, such as Florence, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pistoia and Cinque Terre, with Lucca just fifteen minutes away. For families with children, we suggest a stop at the Pinocchio Park, a short drive away.

Excellent Location
Silvana was an excellent resource throughout our stay. We enjoyed the property, yard, pool and had so much space. Everything we needed.
Amazing property! Our whole family loved the pool and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. Silvana was our contact who checked us in and was very responsive to any questions we had. Great experience overall. Would happily spend more time here if we can make it back to Tuscany.

Very private villa.
Great host and the new pool is stunning. Not much to do in the near vicinity but Martyna was amazing at booking us taxis and activities. We really enjoyed her suggestions. Very spacious and comfortable villa. Fun to have the bbq and pizza oven to use in the evenings too!

Wonderful !
Great service and a wonderful villa!
The shower towels were quite small. I’d recommend slightly larger ones. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Incredible home with BIG GARDEN 😍 Perfectly located to experience a full and authentic Tuscan Italian experience. A stones throw away from Lucca, Florence & Pisa. The property is set on a hill off the side of a road, giving it blissful serene silence in the evening. The hosts are accommodating and friendly, with great communication. Will definitely be back!

Bravo! Grazie tante!
Do you want to spend unforgettable moments with your family and friends in a traditional country home on the top of a hill in Tuscany and be able to see olive trees, vineyards and cypress trees, while drinking your cup of Italian coffee in the morning, your glass of wine during the day and cook with your family a wonderful risotto with local ingredients and have the chance to do small trips around the beautiful Tuscan region? If your answer is YES, this home is for you... Wonderful people to deal with, house has soul and you can tell that wonderful moments as family were spent there...

Wonderfull little paradise garden and pool and nice old farm house.
The home is very nice to stay at, with a beautifull garden and pool. Got a great pizzza oven we enjoyed that aswell. Nice villages and cities in the vicinity. good contact with host agency.
More equiped kitchen. We enjoy cooking a lot, so we made our own pizza's. used the bbq. the oven etc. For using the oven we bought throw away aluminium trays because the oven dishes were not there and we didnt want to put the serving dishes in. So oven dishes would be nice.
Also to clean the BBQ and pizza oven a suitable cleaning device would be nice. we didnt really have anything suitable to clean the roster of the bbq or get the ash out of the pizza oven.
A can opener in the kitchen would be nice, that was missing.
More dimmable lights. especially in the "dining room" outside. it is either on or off. and the lights give a lot of light, would be great if these were dimmable.
We recommend checking all the beds if they are durable long term.
As we let you know after a pretty terrible night our bed was broken, and fixed day 2, for which we thank you. But the same is inevitably going to happen to the other bed upstairs. the bedframe is not sturdy enough. so check to make adjustments before other beds break down aswell.
your photos with a few photos from the pool and maybe the garden aswell. its a big selling point.
