About this property

Tuscan house in idyllic scenic tranquility in hills between Lucca and sea WiFi

The house has all modern conveniences whilst maintaining its original Tuscan style and charm. There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms en suite on the lower floor with access directly into the garden. Upstairs there is a very light spacious sitting/dining room with a characteristic Tuscan fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with a lovely picture window looking out to the surrounding hills. Leading out of the kitchen is a terrace for al fresco eating.
There is mosquito netting.

Podere Consani is a group of old houses on the top of a small hill - it lies in an idyllic setting amongst well-tended natural gardens,(lavender, roses, lemons and herbs) that lead into the adjacent olive groves, vineyard & woodland, in the hills between Lucca and the coast. The house shares a swimming pool with another property in the garden - this is also possible to be rented if you are a bigger group (See property 75096 Casa Cherubino - sleeps 6/7).
The owners take great care to ensure guests are happy during their stay whilst respecting their privacy. They produce their own wine and olive oil.

Nature-lovers,painters and walkers alike cannot fail to enjoy the wonderful surroundings and lovely views and although Podere Consani is set in this oasis of peace, it is however only 15 minutes before the majestic walls of Lucca come into sight.
There is the possibility to have cooking lessons or have a meal cooked for you in the house.
It is also possible to have a variety of massages at the house or in the garden.

We can organize for you to rent bikes to tour the area or to be taken on a tour.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

the perfect farm stay for our family

The farm was an idyllic setting for a quiet week with our family. My kids loved the pool, the fruit trees and all the animals. My husband and I loved the tranquility of the property, which was the perfect antidote between our visits to cities. It's close enough to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terra and many beaches for easy day trips if you're hoping to explore.

Lovely Tuscan Home in Hills

Had memorable week going to wineries, having cooking lesson (set up by our host Susan), going to a rare bookshop (set up by our cooking lesson instructor) and loving the scenery. What a place to relax, with lime growing outside your door and basil to put into your tuscan pasta sauce in the same pots. Close to Lucca and very comfortable place to stay!

Our stay was magical. I hate to overload a review with superlatives but it could be impossible not to. Susan was a spectacular host, sharing excellent recommendations for touring, dining, or just relaxing. The location was exactly what we had hoped. Isolated but short drives to everywhere. I would visit again and again.

Week long stay at Podere Consani

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Podere Consani despite the weather not always being cooperative during our stay. The location was very quiet and had beautiful views. It was only a 12 to15 min. drive to the centre of Lucca. Susan was prompt at communication and was attentive to any needs we had on our visit. We enjoyed being able to see the olives being harvested. Grazie Susan!

This stay was idyllic and everything that was promised. Privacy, serenity and beautiful surroundings. Loads to do in the area and off the beaten track enough to have a sanctuary from tourism. Susan was the hostess with the mostess. Always there for suggestions, but never intruding. Her family are quintessential Italian and we loved hearing her grandchildren calling each other across the garden, hearing the neigh of the horses and next doors donkey in the distance. If you like some solitude with your surroundings this is the place for you. We will be back.

Amazing Location, Hosts, and Property!

We stayed here for 7 days in September with our 18 month old daughter and had the best time! Susan and her family are incredible hosts and provided us with all the information we needed for a fabulous stay. The villa was charming, comfortable and the perfect home base for our adventures. The pool was gorgeous, we ate every night outside, and loved going to visit the horses and goats with our daughter. We LOVED Lucca and would highly recommend this area if you are thinking of coming to Tuscany. It is close to Florence, Cinque Terre and the town of Lucca itself is lovely. This was our first time to Tuscany and we definitely hope to be back. We loved our stay at Podere Consani!

The villa was lovely, equipped well for cooking and quintessentially Tuscan. The host was super friendly, accessible,quickly replied to questions, and provided very helpful sightseeing tips for places to see. The pool was very welcome after a day of sightseeing. Parking was safe but very tight due to narrow drive and limited spaces. The location was very remote and the bumpy road up is not paved the entire way, has some switchbacks and one way spots, so you need an appropriate vehicle. No access to restaurants without a drive. Washing machine was in a basement under the villa with access to outside clothes line. The one hairdryer in the house did not work, except in the kitchen due to plug issues. The villa is tranquil but very rural. Loved the daily visit of the owners dog Nepo who adopted us. We had a good time during our week there.

magnificent holiday

The four of us including our Dog spent a great time on the Podere Consani: the sweet, spacious cottage is situated in typical Tuscany countryside with all comfort you need, a fantastic pool, a very friendly host familiy and a lot to see in close proximity (Lucca, Viareggio, Pisa, Barga e.g. ) Perfect to create your own mixture of activity and recreation for an individual Italian experience. Susan’s recommendations were very informative and helpful. Thanks a lot for everything. No doubt, we need to come back.

Tuscan Adventure

Our visit to Podere Consani was all that we had hoped for. Just taking the winding road up to the property will put you in a different world. Surrounded by grape vines and olive trees made you realize you are now in Tuscany. Our cottage offered everything we needed to relax and experience a peaceful retreat. The beautiful pool was just out our back door to give us another way to unwind. The location also provided a very convenient homebase to wander in any direction to investigate Lucca and the surrounding areas. Our hosts, Susan and Lelio were delightful. They were always available and had wonderful suggestions on places to visit and fabulous restaurants to discover the local cuisine. Do not hesitate to take a trip to this Tuscan retreat. Ciao!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Beeby

Host profile image
I, Susan, came out to Italy in 1969 and instantly fell in love with it all - the hills, the historic cities, the food and the people. Having lived here ever since, my views haven't changed.
I married my husband Lelio and a few years later we bought Podere Consani and gradually restored it, making it the beautiful place it is today.

Why they chose this property

We were really lucky to find this beautiful property - 3 very old stone buildings on the top of a hill surrounded by flat land and with wonderful uninterrupted panoramic views - 360°. It is well known in the area due to the fact that it is quite unusual to find a property in the hills with so much flat land around it.

What makes this property unique

The views and the surrounding land are what convinced us to choose Podere Consani. My husband specializes in restoring old properties and this was such a wonderful place to restore - a sympathetic restoration maintaining its historical integrity.
