La Lucertola is perfectly located to make the most of the many glories of Tuscany and beyond. Pisa is only a 20 minute drive away, as is Lucca, with her all-embracing city walls and immaculate medieval centre with exquisite boutique shops. Florence is just an hour away, the coast less than 30 minutes and the spectacular Cinque Terre can be reached in just over an hour. This unique location offers two wonderful, independent and beautifully decorated houses, both of which are on two floors and each are very spacious. They can be rented together or individually.

This house offers a large and fully-equipped kitchen with marble worktops, a hand-made dining table with six chairs for indoor dining when required. For the colder months there is central heating and a fully functioning fireplace/ firebox in the lounge - very cosy! The lounge is next to the kitchen and is very spacious and comfortable. It has a wonderful, top-of-the-range, luxury sofabed, (a double) as well as a SmartTV, DVD player, books and a large box of toys for younger guests. Free Wi-Fi works both throughout the house and outside areas.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and one long balcony leading from the main bedroom offering fabulous and uninterrupted panoramic views. Both bedrooms are large and have been beautifully decorated with hand-painted murals of plants and birds that reflect the beauty and tranquillity of the outside space. One of the bathrooms is ensuite to the main bedroom. The main bathroom has a bath and both bathrooms have showers.

There is a large terrace outside the house with sun loungers, a shade pergola, with hand made wooden table and six chairs ideal for relaxing, sunbathing, dining and generally contemplating the infinite. There is a BBQ area and an original wood fired oven, perfect for making pizzas and much more - fantastic fun for everyone and of all ages and cooking abilities!

The beautiful shared salt-water swimming pool is in a secure fenced off garden area with unique olive tree shower, two dedicated sun-bathing and relaxing areas, above and below the pool, sun loungers, shade pergolas, tables and chairs. This truly special and unique place really does refresh the body, mind and soul!

Home on the hill
We only had four nights in this beautiful house but Colin and Louisa made us feel right at home. They were there to greet us, give us tips on places to visit and were just so friendly. The house is ideally placed for Pisa, Florence and the hilltop villages of Tuscany, but also provided an ideal place to relax.

A beautiful and great location!
The house is beautiful- well-equipped and in the most glorious setting with breathtaking views over Pisa and beyond! Its location is hard to beat - Florence just over an hour, Lucca 20 minutes, Pisa 20 minutes, the sea 25 minutes and the mountains in 45 minutes, the Cinque Terre in under an hour. What a fabulous holiday!!

La Lucertola s.

Great location! Fabulous accommodation !
20 minutes from Pisa, 20 minutes from Lucca, 25 minutes from one of the few ‘wild’ sandy beach at Marina di Vecchiano AND 0 minutes from a staggeringly gorgeous house, a breath-taking view and a wonderful pool and lounging area. The hosts are friendly, but not invasive, truly helpful and lovely people! What a find!

An Amazing Holiday
Once we got to the top of the twisty road – which was the only challenge of holiday - and we got out of the car we were presented with the most spectacular view of Pisa and beyond. The iconic Learning Tower and Cathedral could clearly be seen on the horizon, acting as a rubber stamp that we had arrived at somewhere special. Our villa – 1 of 2 - was set in several acres of olive groves with a swimming pool, which was essential. The villa was well equipped with all the facilities we needed, washing machine, BBQ, outside table and chairs and a balcony to once again admire the view. Colin and Louisa – the owners – are an incredible couple and were always available to advise on what to do and where to go. The 2 home chef nights went down a storm, the 2nd ending in a sing-a-long in Colin’s recording studio. We spent 2 weeks here and traveled around Tuscany, Pisa, Lucca, Florence and it flew by. We really enjoyed every minute, the Villa and Colin and Louisa played a big part in achieving this and of course the Wine helped.

About the host

Hosted by Luisa Riddiford

Host profile image
Colin and I live in a separate house on the property and love living here! Colin is English, I am half English, half Italian. We try our absolute best to ensure that everything is as it should be for you when you arrive and indeed during your holiday. We are always respectful of your privacy and we want all our guests of all ages to feel free, happy and relaxed. It isn't easy to write about yourself, so here are a few comments from previous guests: 'Luisa and Colin are the perfect hosts and I would like to thank them for allowing us to spend a little time sharing their little piece of Tuscan heaven.' 'The owners live on site and provide a friendly information facility and comprehensive support.' 'Thanks to Luisa and Colin for their hospitality. 'The hospitality and friendliness of the hosts was superb...wee things like this can make a holiday. Always there if needed but never intrusive.'

Luisa taught English in a school near Pisa in 1986 and fell in love with the area. We returned, many times. We made lifelong friends and began to feel that this could be a new home and a new life. After 12 years of living and working in London, we decided to take the plunge, change direction and embrace the challenge of creating a new life. We wanted to be closer to nature, direct our own affairs and to live in a beautiful place with a decent climate.

We happily share this amazing place with you and welcome you to it's magic.

Why they chose this property

We found 'La Lucertola' as a semi ruin, completely overgrown and crying out for some love and attention. We first fell in love with the incredible view and the prospect of living in the country but close to Pisa and the sea.

This place gives us inspiration and the energy to live a good and authentic life. We are happy to share this beauty and joy with our guests who over 20 years of operation wholeheartedly testify to the magic of this very special location. The houses are spacious, comfortable and well proportioned. One would happily live in them all year round - they are much more than a simple rental property - they are proper houses with a true sense of home.

What makes this property unique

The view is unique, breathtaking and truly inspiring. We can see The Leaning Tower of Pisa, the coast and the islands of Capraia and Corsica. We overlook olive grove, forest, field and village. Overhead are birds of prey and the night sounds of owls. This wonderful place is immersed in nature yet close to the major cities of Pisa, Lucca, Florence.
