My husband and I spent our favorite week in Italy in this wonderful apartment. The apartment is located above Danilo's family home. The entire family is fantastically helpful, and accommodating. We didn't want for anything.
From this fantastic location we went on many walks and hikes, checked out Lucca, went for a day in Cinque Terre, quick side trip to Pisa, did a hike around Calci and lunched nearby at a great restaurant named Il Conventino. (Check out the wild boar pasta). Our favorite day was hiking up the aqueduct, lunching in Vorno, and making our way back home on some trails and streets (very useful is: openstreetmaps.org). There are so very many local walks and hikes it is amazing.
The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, not for gourmet cooking , but for breakfasts and take out pizza dinners fantastic! The living room was very comfortable and inviting. The bedroom was perfect for our one week stay. There are 2 showers - one by the jacuzzi. And 2 bathrooms. The jacuzzi was well maintained and very nice to relax in.
We stayed here in early November and had to use the heat every once in a while. It kept us nice and cozy. The views out the bedroom window is just perfect.
I can't say enough great things about Danilo and his family. One night we were surprised by his daughter carrying a tray with 2 bowls of gelato up to us as a friends gelato shop had closed for the winter. It was delicious!!
I would definitely recommend having a car for this location as it is a drive to most anywhere. Driving here was easy, we rented a car in Florence, it really helped to have our phone GPS and a designated navigator to help with the foreign language issues we had. There is a great parking spot out in front of the apartment.
Can't recommend this apartment enough. You won't be sorry and you may even leave with some great olive oil if you are lucky.
