Olive Farmhouse Apartment Near Pescia With Beautiful Views
Our traditional stone-built olive farmhouse is surrounded by terraces as old as the property and sits amongst 12 acres of quiet chestnut woodland overlooking the pretty village of Pietrabuona in the beautiful Svizzera Pesciatina ("Swiss Pescia") less than 1h from Florence, Pisa, Lucca and the coast. The farmhouse was fully restored in 2007 and now has a self-contained private apartment on the ground level. A west-facing patio in front of the apartment affords wonderful views across the valley as well as some spectacular sunsets - a perfect spot to escape to and relax in after a busy day's sightseeing or an energetic day's cycling, hiking or even skiing. We are situated just north of the village of Pietrabuona and only 3 miles from the medieval town of Pescia - a fully functioning Italian town famous for its production of cut flowers and its paper mills, which offers supermarkets, bars, pizzerias, restaurants, coffee shops, banks and a train station - meaning you need not go far for the essentials.

About the host
Hosted by Stuart Smith
After holidaying in Tuscany for many years (and getting married in Siena in 2012), my wife and I moved to rural Tuscany in spring 2014 for a complete change in lifestyle. We left an office job and a plastering career to attempt to live a more self-sufficient life on an old olive farm. Life since our move has certainly had lots of challenges, but the rewards are great and we love our little piece of Italy.
Why they chose this property
After many years of holidaying in the south of Tuscany, we found this part of the region when on holiday near Lucca. What we love about the area is that, while close to the wonderful famous sights of Tuscany, it is a little way off the beaten track and further from the crowds. While Florence, Lucca and Pisa are all under an hour away, we also have the benefits of living in the foothills of the mountains, with beautiful scenery, cycling and walking opportunities from our door, and even a ski resort a little over an hour away..
What makes this property unique
While our property is tranquil and secluded, the village of Pietrabuona - with pharmacy, post office, restaurant and grocery shop - is just minutes away, and we are just 6km from the town of Pescia with all the amenities of a larger town (including rail links to Florence and Pisa). We are very happy to share our local knowledge with guests.
