Photos and Description of this Bagni di Lucca holiday farmhouse 2 Double & 2 twin bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 8 plus cot and 'Z' Bed

'I Cipressi' is a traditional Tuscany farmhouse / villa which has been lovingly restored to retain all the original features with chestnut beams in all the rooms, including bathrooms, and handmade chestnut furniture in the sitting-room and dining-room. A short path leads up to the magnificent 12 x 6 metres swimming pool which is perched directly on top of the hill. The views over the surrounding countryside are quite breathtaking. The sitting-room and dining-room and kitchen have been fashioned from the original stables. The fully fitted kitchen has all modern appliances and outside the kitchen door is a delightful balustrade area with table and chairs under a rose pergola. There is a hammock swing and an attractive brick built barbecue to complete the 'al fresco' scene. Opposite the house is the charming listed barn. A full size table-tennis unit shelters under it's canopy. The house has grounds of 2 acres, mainly fruit trees & woodlands which cling to the hillside.

'I Cipressi' is situated in the North of Tuscany in the province of Lucca, set in the foothills of the Appenines with their covering of acacia, beech, pine and chestnut forests. The farmhouse nestles on the hill, overlooking the Serchio Valley, behind the village of Calavorno, a mile up a winding wooded road. Calavorno, just 17 miles from Lucca and 60 miles from Florence, is roughly midway between the historic gems of Bagni di Lucca and Barga, and is therefore perfectly situated to allow easy access to every conceivable type of holiday, not only the classical cities and medieval towns but exquisite ancient hilltop villages, mountains, forests, beach and sea as well as breathtaking scenery. Calavorno has a full complement of small shops and includes a bakery, a trattoria and a friendly bar and there are many excellent restaurants within a short distance. Trains and buses run regular services to Lucca and Florence. Buses stop in Calavorno and trains just 2 miles up the valley.

Guest Book Entries: 'This most excellent Tuscan farmhouse - what a joy. Having visited and stayed in Italy many times, especially at our favourite, Bagni di Lucca, this must rate as the loveliest holiday home we have ever stayed at. The views will be imprinted forever. Looking forward to our return here.' The B. family of Bearstead Kent. 'We had a wonderful holiday that exceeded all our expectations and the villa made us all feel very welcome. It was impeccably clean and, as I keep telling everyone, it is the little things that make all the difference: big white towels, crisp bed linen and firm beds. Your support team in Italy, caring for the villa and us were excellent. All our dealings have been an absolute pleasure.' Mr. & Mrs. B. of Camden, London. 'If only we were able to stay for one more week. Alas we must return home but we have promised ourselves to come again. 'I Cipress' is a little bit of heaven here on earth. Mrs. E. of Cardiff.

Guest Book Entries: 'From the exquisite scent of the wisteria by the pool to the yellow rose by the parking, we loved the beautiful experience of 'I Cipressi'. From the haunting mist in the valley in the mornings to the glorious sunsets in the evenings, we loved it. The view across to the mountain village of Gioviano will remain in our memories forever ' Mrs. C of Porthcawl. ''I Cipressi' was well up to our expectations and was well furnished, well equipped, clean, comfortable and charming. The swing chair on the patio was the ideal spot to doze off on a warm afternoon, and lunch overlooking the spectacular view, was a frequent pleasurable event. Full marks also for the Information Book which should be an industry benchmark and the large number of maps, guides etc. which were very useful. The pool was excellent and immaculately maintained.' Mr. M. of Sheffield. 'The perfect retreat - I wish we could stay all summer.' The P. family of London.

Ski: I Cipressi is ideally located for those interested in winter sports. Abetone (Ski resort) is only located some 45 kilometres (28 miles) away. The short drive to Abetone provides a chance to see some of Tuscanys finest alpine scenery. Abetone is undoubtedly the foremost and organized winter ski resort in the centre of Italy. Abetone is at 1400 metres above the sea level, near the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna; it is set in a splendid forest, owned by the State, which makes the resort well-known all over Italy and particularly enchanting. You can appreciate the place even in summer, climbing the mountains to the high peaks. Ski runs are available in four marvellous valleys: Luce valley, Sestaione valley, Lima and Scoltenna valley; there are numerous ski facilities: 1 cable car, 2 cabin ways, 9 chair lifts, 15 ski lifts, 37 ski slopes, 5 ski schools, 2 cross-country slopes and 20 kilometers of ski slopes covered with artificial snow.
