About this property

Moscatino Cottage - sleeps 3 (1 Bedroom)

Moscatino has two floors each of 22sqm plus a storeroom. Upstairs is the bedroom (see 'accommodation') and bathroom with shower, bidet, toilet and washbasin. Below is a living room with corner kitchen, dining table, settee and wood burning stove. There is central heating throughout. The kitchen is well furnished with oven, hob, large fridge with freezer compartment and sink. Plenty of crockery, cutlery etc for 3 or 4 people.
The store room houses outdoor furniture and portable barbeque. Balcony and outdoor area for sitting plus access to the main olive grove area which is terraced and swimming pool. Washing machine in cellar of adjacent house.
Moscatino may be rented on its own, or in conjunction with Casa San Moscato (sleeps 9).

The properties are situated at Pariana, about 15 kms. east of Lucca. There is a private pool available to occupants. The property is peaceful and secluded in hilly country with views of surrounding wooded hills. Around the houses are several hectares of terraced olive groves with the swimming pool. A wooded hill screens the houses from the village.

This part of Tuscany is still relatively undiscovered and in the village the rustic life goes on as it always has, with forestry and olive husbandry. The area is much more hilly than the more southerly parts of Tuscany - it is not so stiflingly hot as the plain and for walkers there is direct access to pleasant hills with the Appennines within easy reach. 30 mins Lucca, 1 hr Florence, Pisa, coast. Excellent local cuisine. All shopping 20 mins.

Entspannter Urlaub in den toskanischen Bergen
An den Weg mit den Serpentinen haben wir uns schnell gewöhnt. Belohnung ist die ruhige Lage des Hauses im Wald und angrenzenden Olivenhainen. Im Haus fanden wir alles nötige vor, zum Kochen etc. Der Pool war eine angenehme Erfrischung und stets sauber. Das versprochene WLAN war leider defekt, was uns der Vermieter etwas kurzfristig mitgeteilt hat. Wirklich gefehlt hat es uns aber nicht. Empfehlenswert ist ein Bummel im nahe gelegenen Lucca. Wunderbare Strände gibt es in der Nähe von Viareggio und Pisa. Florenz, Siena und San Gimignano sind per Autobahn erreichbar. Wir hatten einen erholsamen Urlaub.

Ein wunderschöner, entspannter Urlaub
Nachdem wir sehr nett empfangen wurden, haben wir uns in unserem Haus erstmal eingerichtet. Ein gemütliches und sehr ruhiges Feriendomizil... die dritte Schlafmöglichkeit nicht unbedingt etwas für große Menschen...aber auch das haben wir gut und gemütlich gemeistert. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft und sehr ruhig. Wir sind sehr gut in alle Städte gekommen, die wir besichtigen wollten und haben in Viareggio einen sehr schönen, sauberen und erstaunlicherweise zumindest in der Woche, sehr ruhigen Strand gefunden. Der Weg zum Haus ist gewöhnungsbedürftig und braucht etwas Übung. Während wir eher mit 20 die ziemlich engen Kurven gemeistert haben, waren wir von den Einheimischen sehr beeindruckt 😂 Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Urlaub. 10 Tage sind für die Toskana allerdings zu wenig. Wir kommen wieder😊 Vielen Dank an Tony und Judy für die schöne Unterkunft und den netten Kontakt

Toller Ferienort für die ganze Familie - ruhig - charmant - typisch italienisch
Wir verbrachten im Juli 2017 zwei Wochen mit unserer kleinen Tochter in der Unterkunft "Moscatino". Der Kontakt zum Vermieter war problemlos und Familie Flosi (kümmern sich vor Ort um dieses Haus) war überragend!! Wir haben uns als Familie sehr wohl gefühlt. Grillen, Pool und Anlage sind im toskanischen Stil...einfach aber klasse!! Nach Pisa, Florenz oder Vinci sind es nur 45Minuten mit dem Auto. Wir waren auch oft am Mittelmeer in Viareggio (50Minuten). Würden es immer wieder buchen.

About the host

Hosted by Tony and Judy Ridge

Host profile image
We are a retired professional couple living in York, England and we bought San Moscato as a family holiday home in 1990. We still use it as such and are pleased that children and grandchildren enjoy it as much as we do. We generally visit in spring, summer and late autumn (to harvest the olives, if there is a good crop) - we like it at all times of year, though the winter weather is not necessarily much better than UK! Moscatino was a chestnut drying barn in a ruinous state until it was renovated in 2005 and made into a cosy cottage. Between 2004 and 2007 we made an epic long-distance walk all the way from York to Pariana - in fact, walking remains an abiding interest and there is much scope for it in N. Tuscany.

Why they chose this property

It is situated at Pariana, about 26 kms. east of Lucca. There is a private pool available to occupants. The property is peaceful and secluded in hilly country with views of surrounding wooded hills. Around the houses are several hectares of terraced olive groves with swimming pool. A wooded hill screens the houses from the village. Moscatino has a balcony and paved patio area for outdoor meals and relaxation.
This part of Tuscany is still relatively undiscovered and in the village the rustic life goes on as it always has, with forestry and olive husbandry. The area is much more hilly than the more southerly parts of Tuscany - it is not so stiflingly hot as the plain and for walkers there is direct access to pleasant hills with the Appennines within easy reach. 30 mins Lucca, 1 hr Florence, Pisa, coast. Excellent local cuisine. All shopping 20 mins.

What makes this property unique

We relax and enjoy the pool and garden - we have many good friends in the village - many good local restaurants - we always enjoy a trip to Lucca - otherwise walking in the hills. In the summer there is an excellent restaurant and local festas and BBQ's in the Pizzorne hills above Pariana.
