Just 10 -15 minutes away lies pretty Bagni di Lucca, a thriving spa town in the 19th century, when Byron, Shelley and Browning were frequent visitors.  Spa treatments, hot springs - highly recommended - are still available. Lucca, a graceful medieval walled town, one hour away is a delight to visit with wonderful shops. Have a cycle around the walls, lovely view and flat to cyle on. Cycling is very popular in Lucca & much easier than driving around. Florence itself is only 1.5 hours’ drive away. The Garfagnana national park is fabulous walking country.  We have often seen eagles on our walks near the house, and even from our own terrace. There are lots of walking maps available for guests to use, as well as guides to the local area showing numbered walks.  Guides to Pisa, the Uffizi Gallery, Lucca and Bagni di Lucca are also provided. Short walk up cobbled path to carpark from house. The nearest beach is at Viareggio; about 90 minutes away. Paragliding is a popular local sport.

Notes: The pool water is now heated by solar power & is open from early May until end of September. The panels provide heat for the domestic water first and any surplus goes towards raising the temperature of the pool. We do not describe the pool as 'heated' as we cannot guarantee the temperature. We want to be realistic about this as we would not want guests to be disappointed. The water temperature will depend on the weather, & how much hot water guests are using in the house. In May 2009 we had temperatures of 78 degrees which is the level we used to get only in August, prior to installing the panels. The air temperature during the day was about 70 - 75 degrees. There were 4 adults using the house. Sometimes we leave the pool open during October but as we do not guarantee this it is not reflected in the price and is at our discretion. Please discuss at the time of booking if this concerns you. Soap and toilet paper is provided for arrival, guests top up after that.

harriet lynch United Kingdom
Review Submitted: November 2, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
well what can i say........this house is beautiful, not just the house but the whole setting and the area around the house, i am fighting cancer at the moment and wanted somewere to spend some quality time with family and friends, i found the house on the internet and fell in love with the place, and the whole idea of being away from busy citys and up in the middle of no where, i was a little worried about the walk from the carpark to the house as i am very week, but it was fine and its a beautiful little walk, we took two teenagers with us and i was worried they might get bored as this seems more of a adult holiday, but from the minuet we left lucca and started the drive up following the river, they were hooked, we all loved the pool, the outside area is stunning, we went for spooky walks of a night in the woods! and all sat around the log fire of a night telling ghost stories and talking!! we loved it, the house also has some great personal touches like, pleanty of dvds, books, and family games, so they were great for entertainment, the house is massive, the local village is also beautiful we found the locals to be very nice people, the drive from the main road up to the house is were the fun starts its a long windy road with amazing views and you drive up through the clouds its breath taking !!! and a little exiting because of the steep climd! the kids loved it , my mum closed her eyes and prayed all the way up ! ha,their is so much to do our kids found quad bikes and horse riding all within10 mins drive loved messing about down by the river, there is loads of wildlife you wont see in the uk, we even seen a giant porcupine in our head light in the car driving home one night !!! again we loved seeing that!!! everthing else you would need is close by, also anna the house meet and greet is a lovely lady!!! very friendly and helpful, i would also reccomend her alternative massage therapies she offers, she worked wonders on me !!!, sue the owner was very helpful and friendly befor booking and after!! i has passes the details of this house on to many friends, and would reccomend it to everybody, my little week their has given me memories i will never forget!! i will defo be going back after treatment, i find this place great for relaxing , fantastic for familys, great fun for friends, its also a very romantic kind of place, trust me you are one of the lucky ones if you find this house while serching for a holiday home!!!
lots of love harriet liverpool uk
Owner's Response: So glad you enjoyed your stay, and many thanks for taking the time to write such an informative review. September is a great time to visit Tuscany, the prices are lower but the weather is still warm. I have not advertised with this company before, and I am sure other people searching for holidays will find your comments helpful, and more interesting than reading the boring stuff I have written! You are right about seeing porcupines, you didn't dream it, we have even found a quill in the garden.

Review Submitted: October 7, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
If you are looking for a place that will sooth your soul and revitalise you, you've just found it! This has been my fourth visit. I always look forward to returning to this fantastic place. A place which holds everything for a fabulous holiday. The villa is tucked away in the peaceful and friendly hamlet of Livizzano and I recommend it highly to you, as I have done my friends. It is a home in which you can unwind and totally relax but still be within an hour's drive or so of a beach and popular tourist locations. You may prefer to visit these locations by train. There is a train station in Bagni di Lucca and a reliable train service. If the popular resorts to not interest you, there is plenty to explore locally and only 15 minutes away by car is the delightful, historical town of Bagni di Lucca where you can visit the local market, explore the shops, enjoy a cappuccino or two or visit the Spa. The owners, in addition to providing a very accurate description of the property and its location on their web site, have provided, in house, an abundance of information regarding what do do and see, together with very helpful directions for safe walks in the area. The house is spacious, clean and very well equipped. An added bonus, it has absolutely stunning views. A very welcoming pool (after a day's sight-seeing!) with all pool-side amenities provided, including a purpose built BBQ and two eating areas. The kitchen has everything you need; the owners even provide their own herbs! If all this wasn't enough, within 5 minutes walk of the house there is a wonderful little restaurant serving home-cooked meals. Just across the road from the restaurant, there is an excellent butcher (saugages to die for) and a grocery shop which sells the most delicious cold cuts, cheese and bread. Only one bit of advice, if you have not travelled in Tuscany before, take some ear plugs. You probably won't need to use them but pack them just in case. Very romantially, the village has a bell tower which rings out the time every half hour, day and night. Not so romatically, the local dogs are chained up ouside at night and, if they have been disturbed by nocturnal animals, will bark occasionally. This is all part of the unspoiled, rural way of life which you will love and far outweighs, I think, the horrors of sharing your holiday with hundreds of noisy tourists. You have my assurance that you will not regret for a moment taking your holiday at Casa di Livassano.
Owner's Response: Many thanks for the helpful tips. We try to provide as much info as possible on our ad. , website and in the house book, but more ideas are always welcome.

Tuscan dream

EmmaD UK
Review Submitted: October 1, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent a week staying in La Casa di Livizzano last year, and had a wonderful time. The best part was just sitting round the pool in the sunshine, drinking prosecco, and looking out over beautiful Tuscan countryside - very relaxing!

The house is a short drive away from Lucca, if you fancy a bit of site-seeing. If you don't feel like driving, though, there are plenty of great walks in the surrounding area.

I've already recommended this place to all my friends - it's a real find!
Owner's Response: Many thanks for your review, we agree, especially about the prosecco!

We keep on returning

Review Submitted: September 29, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
We have stayed at La Casa di Livizzano in three of the last four summers and will no doubt be returning there in future years. It is beautifully peaceful, set on a Tuscan hillside with fabulous views. If you want to be energetic there are plenty of opportunities for walks in the hills or you may prefer to just relax by the pool, amble up to the excellent little restaurant in the village, take in the shops and restaurants in picturesque nearby Bagni di Lucca, or travel slightly further afield to historic Lucca where you can walk (or cycle) the walls and get a real sense of re-visiting a medieval town. In short, it's pretty good and not to be missed! Much thanks, definitely going there again.
Owner's Response: So glad you all enjoyed your trip this year, and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

A relaxing holiday location

Rh1Rhi London, UK
Review Submitted: September 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
The house is in a very beautiful setting with the most fantastic views! It is extremely well maintained with great outdoor space for eating, drinking and swimming. The restaurant close to the house also serves delicious food in a very relaxed informal setting.

A train station is not too far for trips to Florence and further afield for those that feel more adventurous.

I would definitely recommend this to a friend, especially if they were looking for a relaxing holiday.
Owner's Response: Many thanks, and don't forget if your friends book they are entitled to a reduction of 10%, as are any returning guests.
