About this property

Il Gobbo is a fabulous holiday house close to the beautiful city of Lucca, Tuscany. This traditional Tuscan farmhouse, set in the midst of olive groves, wildflower meadows and vineyards, is part of an organic smallholding/ agriturismo. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, sleeps up to 14 people; 11 adults, plus three children under 12 yrs. All bedrooms have air conditioning. Comfortable and welcoming, the 300m2 house is built on two floors and has been sympathetically restored, maintaining its original structure and charm.

Casa il Gobbo has an enormous garden, 14m long saltwater pool, large children’s play area, relaxation area with sun loungers, ample shade, spa hot tub, barbecue and wood fired pizza oven. The covered veranda with two wooden tables is a great place to enjoy an alfresco breakfast or dinner, surrounded by the colours, sounds and scents of the Tuscan countryside.

Ideally positioned for visits to Lucca and Tuscany’s historic centres of art and culture: Capannori motorway exit is just 11km away. Reach the Mediterranean coastline and beach in 30 mins; Garfagnana and the rugged peaks of the Apuan Alps in 50 minutes. The local road from the house leads up through ancient villages to Pizzorne, a hilly area where the woods are perfect for hiking, or picnicking, and which offers spectacular views.

Our family carefully restored Casa il Gobbo and has let it as a holiday home since 1987. We continue to make it even more sustainable. Recent eco-friendly upgrades include installing a low energy air conditioning system, solar panels for hot water and converting the swimming pool to saltwater. Our family continues to oversee every aspect of our guests’ stay to ensure they have the best experience and most relaxing holiday possible.

Casa il Gobbo is perfect for couples, families, groups and celebrations.

Peaceful and lots of space

We loved Il Gobbo! We spent 3 weeks at house with 2 other couples, which was perfect. We all had our own part of the house. They have lots of beautiful dishes, glasses for an elegant dinner at large dining room. Elisa was so helpful with information about house, area and gave us great places to go visit. She set up tour of where they press the olives. We had a simple problem with dryer, and it was fixed same day. The outdoor area is great, I loved having my coffee at 16-foot outdoor table, looking at the beautiful view of Lucca. They helped setup chef to cook at house several times. The pool was a little cold to get into but after a few laps it was refreshing. Next time we go it will be with all our children and grandkids. Thank you, Loretta, Mario and Elisa,

Fantastic farmhouse in the Tuscan hills

We stayed for 10 days with extended family. Gorgeous views, wonderful modern kitchen, private saltwater pool, wonderful amenities for family vacations. A pool, a soccer field, swings, a small playhouse for kids and a lawnmower robot that kept the grass down. Best of all, there was AC in every bedroom since it was extremely hot. Highly recommend the place.

Dream come true in Tuscany

We had the most amazing dream come true vacation at this beautiful villa! The Villa is absolutely gorgeous, spacious, clean, and charming. We were a group of 8 adults and 2 kids. Everyone was thrilled with it. Elisa was wonderful and so helpful. She organized a chefs dinner for us and massages at the Villa. They were both phenomenal. Our only complaint was that we did not have long enough there and didn’t want to leave! We can’t wait to go back and the olive oil is also delicious!

Why they chose this property

Lucca is one of Tuscany’s most beautiful cities. The historic centre, surrounded by imposing walls dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, offers visitors a range of attractions from architectural features to traditional food. Its modest size means Lucca can be explored on foot, allowing visitors to fully enjoy the treasures in its historic centre. From Roman times to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, Lucca has kept much of its history, and many of its traditions, intact. Once known as the “city of a hundred churches” Lucca offers several tours to discover unique architectural treasures. Piazza Anfiteatro, the church of San Frediano, the Guinigi Tower, Piazza San Michele, Porta San Gervasio gate and Villa Guinigi are just a few of the interesting sites that the city offers. Its strategic position makes it an ideal base for reaching other Tuscan cities, famous for their art and culture, and popular tourist attractions.
