Reviews of Property: Casa Lucia - Historical Borgo nr Florence, Lucca & Pisa with shared pool

a wonderfully located home from home in the tuscan hills, ideal for day trips to florence, pisa and sienna, as well as plenty of other charming places.
absolutely the best views we've ever had from a holiday home and some gorgeous sunsets thrown in, a fabulous place to chill out in the garden with some local food and wine and a very welcoming atmosphere.
just as importantly perhaps; the owners were incredibly helpful in the lead up to our visit, perfect for first time 'tuscaneers' like us!
we very much hope to return soon. thank you!!!

We arrived at Casa Lucia (the first time) in the dark after a long journey. We opened the beautiful wooden doors and stepped into a holiday house with a special atmosphere and I relaxed immediately. The property has been cleverly and stylishly renovated with traditional cotta fllor tiles, beautiful bed linen and practical use of space.
When I opened the doors to the stunning view next morning I couldn't help thinking that the owners were modest in their advertising literature.
The garden is a pleasure and is set out with enough quality garden furniture that you can follow the sun around the building or follow the shade.
The contact with the owners, the welcome and advice provided on arrival and the standard of cleaning and maintenance were of a very high standard. There is a super visitors book where the owners and other guests recommend restaurants which we have enjoyed.
The Borga has been developed in a traditional way to a very high spec and we found the owners of other properties friendly when we chatted to them at the well maintained pool, which also enjoys lovely views.
We have stayed in Casa Lucia twice now and have visited Lucca, San Miniato, San Gimigniano, Vinci, Pisa, up into the hills to Barga and on our last visit we took the train into Florence. We also drove to Venice for an overnight stay and the owners were very helpful in recommending a hotel which was excellent.
There are lots of good walks around the Borgo if you don't mind some steep bits.
I would not hesitate to recommend this property to anyone and dream of returning again.

This property is lovely, clean and in a beautiful position. We were able to visit all the sights very easily and found the roads and tuscany itself quite empty considering it was end of july/beg of August. The property is at the top of a hill, which we did find daunting and did not want to attempt driving up in the dark so we did not go out in the evening but stayed in the apartment, which was no hardship as it is very well equipped with outstanding views.
The pool was brilliant and we often had it just to ourselves and my daughter loved the 'stray cats' which frequented our garden. Siena was easy to drive to and park at - almost right in the centre - Florence is easy and cheap to get to on the train - Lucca was great and cheap and easy to park as well and we loved Pisa! I think that for us this holiday was a little too quiet but I am pleased we went and feel lucky to have picked such a lovely place to stay. I would have no hesitation recommending this place and the owners were very helpful in the build up to the holiday.

We had our visit to Tuscany in June this year staying in this fabulous hilltop borgo with views to die for. The information given by the owners prior to departure were very comprehensive and so all we had to do was unpack and relax and then explore this beautiful part of the world, There are many charming places to visit from the obvious Florence, Lucca and Pisa to the smaller local villages like Vinci. There are numerous lovely eating places so all needs are catered for. Definitely worth a visit ... or two!

We had a great week in this lovely house with fantastic relaxing view over vineyards. Everything you need in a holiday home and more.
Great location for reaching Florence and surrounding towns and villages.
Not as many restaurants as I would have liked in the area
Did not find the pool easy to get to as there was some temporary fencing up at the time.
Overall great holiday great siat.
A & G

This is a lovely house in a restored hamlet with absolutely stunning views across the Tuscan hills.Sunsets are glorious and then the hillsides twinkle like fairyland as the lights come on.
The house and pool are well maintained and the owner provides very helpful tips and advice.
We are a family of four with two teenage children and had a very relaxing holiday.
This property is not suitable for people with mobility problems as there are steps or a steep path to the pool .

A beautiful property and location. The views looked good in the photos and they really are!! To wake up to that every morning was perfect. The pool was large and more than adequate - as many of the properties are occupied by locals the pool was pretty much our own as they were out at work. The location is perfect - as described there are numerous towns that are in easy reach. Our favourites were Lucca - a small walled city where you can hire bikes and cycle round the wall - the kids loved this. San Gimignano was also very pretty - we will definitely be revisiting when we can.

A lovely holiday - Christine goes out of her way to make your stay. All the advice is great - and we were given ideas for where to go from neighbours which was also great.

We enjoyed staying at Casa Lucia immensely and had no problems whatsoever thanks to all the information from the owners.

Casa Lucia was a wonderful base for our week in Tuscany. A good base from which we could explore a great many sights and wonderful to come back to, when we wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather in the lovely garden with the spectacular view.

We enjoyed going through the materials and the house book, suggesting trips to make etc. Thanks to the materials we found tips about the region that we would not have known about otherwise. There is a wonderful restaurant close by as well.
