About Paola Pardini / David Hayward
Me and David during our gardening time. We moved to the countryside to spend our free time outside enjoying nature. I'm from Lucca and David is english. It could be work!
Paola Pardini / David Hayward purchased this Apartment in 2001
Why Paola Pardini / David Hayward chose Capannori
We love to travel and we'd like to meet at Stonehouse the people that we couldn't meet away. This house was the property of Agostino, the old farmer who lived here a long time ago, with his animals and his vegetable garden. We renovated this building to preserve the character of a farm house. Our guests say: 'home away from home'. This is our goal.
What makes this Apartment unique
When we were looking for a farm house, we saw this property and we thought: 'this is it!'. We saw the mountains around, the churches on the hills, and the sunflowers. The colours around helped us to decide.

Just what we hoped for!
Quaint farmhouse - great location!
Hello and many thanks for your review, very welcome.
We are very sorry that the apartment's temperature was not comfortable enough. In this season (spring on), the apartments are already warm, but if our guests need to turn on the heating we have no problems, but we need to know it and we will do it immediately. Having no request, we thought it was okay.
We're sorry you did not tell us.
Thanks again for your visit and we hope to see you again in the future.
Best regards
paola and david
Quiet, clean, spacious, and friendly. Definitely a 5 star accommodation.

Old stone farmhouse (StoneHouse) near Lucca, Tuscany
EXACTLY as advertised! Beautiful farm house in the heart of Tuscany
Location
Our house is a few miles from Lucca in the green of the Tuscan countryside. The village is S.Ginese di Compito and the adress is Via Centoni, N° 14. 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. 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 . Other Activities: birdwatching Ski: Possible to reach the Abetone Pass in 90 minutes for piste skiing. Numerous ski mountaneering opportunities
