Green and peaceful Tuscany near Lucca
We spent a wonderfully relaxing week here with our adult children at the beginning of September. The house is beautifully situated and we made abundant use of the lovely outdoor spaces. The pool is superb and there are plenty of solid, comfortable loungers. The pool is not fenced off, though, so possibly not one for tiny children.
The terrace is spacious and provides welcome shade on hot days.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped which is not always the case with villa rentals.
The showers and water pressure were extremely good … again, not always a given!
Having visited Tuscany on numerous occasions we didn’t feel the need to travel to Florence or Siena, although the proximity of the railway station would have made the train a viable option should we not have wished to hunt for parking spaces in the towns.
We visited Barga )great views!) and Lucca which was lovely and considerably less touristy than many other Tuscany towns.
It is worth mentioning that the main part of Bagni Di Lucca is a drive rather than a walk away … at least, one wouldn’t wish to tackle that distance and gradient on the homeward stretch in the dark!
As well as the good, reliable local restaurants there are a number of impressive Agriturismo establishments nearby. Also, do visit a vineyard!
We had massages at the spa which really is an easy walk away.
All in all, an idyllic location for peace, quiet and relaxation. We would very much recommend!
