La Casa della Volpe is in the hills above Lucca in a quiet, rural area made up of olive trees, vineyards and woods of chestnu, oak, acacia and arbetrello trees. It is possible to harvest chestnuts in the autumn and find wild mushrooms after the rains, if any, in summer. Violets grow under the olive trees in spring, wild carnations and other wildflowers grow along the roadsides in the summer. The air is fresh. The house looks over to the church and tower of Torre Alto and down to the walled city of Lucca which is about 10 kms away. Beaches are half an hour to 45 minutes away, depending on the beach location and traffic. Historic World War II villages are a half-day visit; the Leaning Tower of Pisa is 35 kms away. A guide to services and restaurants is provided.
