Description

A rare find!
Property with exclusive use of garden and pool close to the historic centre of the medieval city of Lucca.
We are offering two spacious apartments (both included in the price!) accessed from the same landing so perfect for a large group/2 families seeking some individual privacy.
Each apartment is individually equipped, and each has its own balcony.
This property is ideal for groups who want their own space, but who also want to spend time together outside in the garden dining under the pergola. The garden is ideally equipped for al fresco living!
The location is perfect for exploring - a semi-rural position yet only a 5 minute drive or 2.1km walk from the centre of delightful Lucca. Only a 5-minute drive from the motorway ideal for visiting the many delights of Tuscany by car, or if you prefer, travel by train from Lucca too.
Do see below for suggestions of daytrips - the choice is endless.

Entrance is upstairs:
Both apartments are set together and doors can be opened to use them together if you prefer.

Other benefits:

The owner can meet guests at airport or Lucca station (depending on numbers). This will be cheaper than a taxi. Nevertheless car hire is recommended.
Owners can organise cookery lessons in the Lucchese hills

Our conclusion is that this option is a great offering for those wishing to use a property as a base to explore the area without the need to travel half way down a mountain, yet with the benefits of exclusive use of a pool, which one usually only finds with a rural villa.

NB – Until 2024 we had all 4 and 5 star reviews for this property. In 2024 we received comments that the advert had not made clear that the villa is the owners' family home, and they let out the 2 apartments to guests. They do not use your garden or pool area and do all they can to respect privacy. They have their own family garden at the back of the property and for 2025 have prepared their own entrance from the road. Owners leave the parking for your exclusive use (although they may occasionally use the driveway for unloading). Of course, you have the added benefit that the owners can help you if you need anything!

A little about the area:
Close to the stunning historic centre of the mediaeval walled City of Lucca and also Lucca train station - 2.1 km by foot and 4km by car. Lucca, has regular markets, antiques markets, outdoor concerts, designer shopping, nightly opera recitals, the wall for cycling, relaxing, children's parks, plenty of wonderful restaurants and bars, and beautiful Piazzas for coffee, prosecco and people watching.
The train station of Lucca regularly serves Florence, Pisa, and the seaside direct and there is also access to Siena and Montecatini etc with one change.
Exploring by bicycle is a favourite in Lucca and there are lots of places to hire them .......

Golf - various golf options
