A perfect Tuscan holiday home

caroline59 london
Review Submitted: May 13, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
This is a beautiful holiday home set in a secluded Tuscan landscape but near enough to Lucca and Pisa for sightseeing and Italian culture. We could have spent days sitting on the terrace, lounging by the pool, or exploring the local countryside. The house is very comfortable and welcoming, spacious without being intimidating, perfect for relaxing with friends. We would recommend it without hesitation.
