This is the Tuscan villa that resides in your dreams
Honestly, I can't imagine a better experience in Tuscany. My mother (90) has always wanted to get the whole family together for a vacation in Tuscany and this was the year.
This home filled everyone's expectations and is well-represented by the listing's pictures
It's beautiful, well-appointed country home with rustic elements ("scratched up houses", in the words of my 6-year-old nephew - ha).
The little ones were super happy with the pool (the big people, too).
The grounds are stunning and very much like a park with trails to stroll through, benches and chairs in various places around the property to sit and read, converse, nap, etc.
Everything works! The kitchen is terrific and well appointed for serious and fun meal preparation. The beds are comfortable!
The experience is very much that of borrowing the keys to an old friend's home and feeling right at home.
The area is terrific on its own and offers a good launchpad to local tourism and sightseeing - 20 minutes to Lucca, 30 minutes to the beach in Viareggio, 45 minutes to Pisa, good grocery stores about 10 minutes away.
The gardener came by in the mornings and looked after the property and pool. He was very friendly and helpful.
The restaurants in the area are terrific. The house has a bulletin board with all the business cards and hand-written notes of recommendation. The owner's special recommendation was voted by my family to be the best meal and experience they've ever had!
