Our house - an old stone house recently restored to maintain its original character - is a few miles from Lucca in the green of the Tuscan countryside. The town of Lucca, with its famous ring of walls, can be reached in a quarter of an hour.

The motorway, which is close at hand, brings you in less than an hour to the artistic treasures of Pisa, Florence, and Siena.

The rolling hills of Chianti country and the Etruscan town of Volterra can also easily be reached. For rest days, there are many interesting excursions locally - on foot or by bike - to explore the Bientina marsh with its interesting birdlife, or the Pisan hills. Otherwise you can relax in the garden or beside the swimming pool.

The Appuan Alps, with their spectacular summits and historic marble quarries are less than an hour away, whilst on the other side of the Garfagnana valley there are the more gentle slopes of the Appenines.

For those who prefer the sea, the Riviera is half an hour away at Viareggio, whilst the wilder coastline of the Cinque Terre is only a little further afield.

                            Thank you so much for your warm hospitality – we had a wonderful week….. We are going to miss our daily ration of gelato. Thank you also for the very yummy banana cake – it didn’t last a long time with the kids around.

                            Thank you for your hospitality at stonehouse. We enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks in Tuscany. It was so nice having breakfast in the garden and relaxing with a good book to read afterwards.

                            A most enjoyable stay! Thank you so much for the welcome drinks and cake – they were much appreciated. The children loved the pool, of course. So nice to end with the pizza evening

                            We would really like to thank you for your hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay. We could highly recommend the barbeque in the garden that we used for the first time. We’re going to recommend this accommodation and its lovely hosts in our home country

                            Grazie. We loved the Stonehouse – the gardens, the pool, the roosters and birds. Kids enjoyed the dogs and cats. Thanks for everything.

                            This villa was outstanding - from the central location, to the comfortable remodeled apartment, to the incredibly gracious owners - our expectations were eceeded in every way. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of Tuscany.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+.

                            Questo nido nel cuore della Toscana è proprio accogliente. Grazie per la torta inaspettata, per le luci di natale che hanno reso l'ambiente ancora più caldo e familiare e per il gattone rosso che ci ha indicato l'accesso scortandoci fino alla porta.

                          Owner info

                          Year Purchased: 2001

                          About the owner: Paola works in a hospital and David for a textile firms. We share a love of the mountains and enjoy ski mountaineering, climbing and cycling. We love animals - and have 3 cats and a dog - and welcome guests' pets. We know the area well - and are keen to share our knowledge with guests and provide them maps and guides of our zone.

                          Why the Owner Chose Lucca:
                          We looked for a home fairly close to our work - and which also had potential for holiday renting. Stonehouse was ideal - in the countryside - but with easy access to Lucca, Pisa and the motorways - ideal for our guests and ourselves. In the first year we offered bed and breakfast accommodation in the house itself whilst we created 3 holiday flats in the winecellar and agricultural building which formed the other half of the house. The flat advertised is one of these.

                          The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
                          A quiet location in one of the most unspoilt areas of the Lucca countryside.
