Marco was very communicative even before arriving at his beautiful property. Very much appreciated understanding everything within the apartment and on the property grounds. Had it not rained, I would have loved to hang out on the expansive, beautiful grounds. Loved every bit of the stay, would absolutely be back if in the area!!

Great vacation time

Marco and his home with wonderful garden is a place to get down and have a wonderful time to relax. The home is an optimal start point to visit Lucca and Pisa and the surrounding typical toscan villages. Marco gave us a lot of valuable tips for excursions and good restaurants. We enjoyed the beach near Pisa during the hot days. Many thanks to Marco and his family for these great days.

Quiet getaway in Rural Tuscany

Our family stayed at this country home for a few days during our trip to Italy. It was in a quiet village that was 20 min drive from the nearest beach. The accommodations were comfortable and very spacious with a rustic feel. Marco was very helpful and was easy to contact both via email and on location. The Versilia region was more laid back and less crowded than Florence which was welcome. The unit’s location was perfect for those who want to explore Pisa (15 min), Lucca (25 min) and Forte dei Marmi (30min). We enjoyed the outdoor dining and extra space this unit offered for our family of five.

Séjour en famille aux alentours de Pise

Très grande maison avec un jardin tellement agréable. La maison n'est pas climatisée mais il y fait très frais même en plein août. Le logement est bien situé à proximité de Pise, Lucca et les plages. Le propriétaire est très accessible et est de bons conseils. Super pour toute la famille !
