About this property

Casa San Moscato Farmhouse (sleeps 9) Excellent for families

Casa San Moscato is a renovated farmhouse with accommodation for 9 people in 3 airy bedrooms. Family holiday retreat, homely rather than smart. It is 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 house are several hectares of terraced olive groves with swimming pool. A wooded hill screens the house 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. There is a bus service but infrequent.

Adjacent to Casa San Moscato is a cottage, Moscatino, sleeping up to 3. Both properties together constitute the San Moscato estate. They are to let separately or together but are each quite self-sufficient.

Ruhige Lage und guter Ausgangspunkt für Aktivitäten in der ganzen Umgebung
Großes und geräumiges Haus mit sehr gepflegtem Außengelände. Sehr gutes Informationsmaterial vom Vermieter mit wertvollen Tipps für Aktivitäten etc. Wir wurden durch die Verwalterin freundlich empfangen und gut betreut.

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! 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

We prefer the character of this part of Tuscany to the more southern area, which is rather too popular and where also, in our view, the landscapes are not so attractive. Both Pescia and Lucca are delightful towns. Access is good, with Pisa airport, motorways and railway within easy reach, although admittedly the last 5 miles is on more minor routes. It is well positioned for many attractions - clockwise from northwest, Cinque Terre, Apuan Alps, Garfagnana, Appennines, Po Valley cities, Florence, San Gimignano, Pisa, Viareggio and sandycoasts.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy the extensive olive terraces and our spring and find that the peace and quiet of the area rejuvenates us. Summer nights reveal the huge night sky free of light pollution and flitting fire-flies complete the picture. 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. Nearby Collodi, where the story of Pinocchio was written has the Parco di Pinocchio and the Villa Garzoni with its famous gardens and butterfly house.
