Typical Tuscan house.Great view on Lucca.Private parking/garden.WIFI

Only 15 minutes from the city of Lucca.
The sea, with sandy beach, is distant only 30 minutes from the house. (Lido di Camaiore -Viareggio- Forte dei Marmi).
This charming farmhouse restored in 2012, was formerly a small cloister dating back to 1700. It is located in the middle of an olive tree grove dominating the valley and the city of Lucca, which lies only 11 km from here. The owner is an interior designer, this is why interiors are refurbished with care and attention to details, using original Tuscan furniture and aiming at the perfect ease of the guests. The days in Lucca will be particularly agreeable thanks to its many attractions and points of interest: the sightseeing of the town, its unique city walls, churches, squares, museums etc. For those who love the sea, in 30 minutes you can reach the sea-side resorts of Versilia, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi - all renowned for their huge golden shores. For mountain lovers, in only 30 minutes you can be in the Garfagnana area and walk through its ancient villages. Take a chance to visit the cities of art and the most characteristic places of Tuscany (Pisa, Firenze, Siena, Cinque Terre) that are near to Lucca and easy to reach. In case some day you do not want to go anywhere, you can enjoy the impressive terrace, which is definitely the peculiarity of this house, offering the possibility to stay outside in complete relax. A magical place surrounded by nature where everything is like it used to be – only a few ancient houses deep in the stillness of the hills and an enchanting atmosphere due to the magnificent view, outstanding during the day and lovely by night.

Beautiful Tuscan country retreat if it fits you
This is a truly beautiful house with long views down to Lucca and olive groves all around. It is well-furnished and we slept really soundly. Massimo, the host, is extremely gracious and offers many great ideas for local activities and day trips, and once you find it the local supermarket is very well stocked. Having said all that, there are two "buts" to determine if this is the right fit for you. The key one is that "steep, winding, and narrow road" indicated in some comments is an understatement of the case. If you are not an experienced and confident driver with a relatively small car, you're going to have a challenge. The road goes from one lane to less than one car width, there are no shoulders, and the dropoffs are steep. It is very unlikely that a car service would agree to come pick you up. Issue #2, which is related to that, is that either you cook quite a bit in the well-appointed kitchen or you stay out for lunch and dinner (meaning drive up the hill in the dark). It is a good 20-25 minutes to anywhere and you get to navigate the hill both ways. We would go out for the day, enjoy an Italian lunch, pick up supplies for dinner, and head home to cook and enjoy that. (Issue #3: if you are a crazy cat person, use your common sense and do not feed the feral cats that roam the mountain as the people before us did.) Again, we very much enjoyed our stay once we figured it all out but you need a small car and you better be a good driver.

Great Stay in a Typical Tuscan Villa
We had an amazing stay at Massimo's Tuscan Villa. We were close to the walled city of Luca, and it was a great place to stage your Tuscan vacation. The villa itself was well appointed and everything was high quality. The amazing views, and the Tuscan hillside made each morning very special. Massimo is a great host. He ensured that we had everything we needed and he knew it was our anniversary and left us a little gift for when we checked in. If you're looking for a typical Tuscan villa on the Tuscan Hill side surrounded by olive trees on a working olive tree farm, stay with Massimo. One of the best VRBO hosts I've ever had.

Beautiful rural house with amazing views
Firstly, I have to say that the photos of the view do not do it justice. You can see Lucca from the terrace and no matter what time of day, it is stunning. I took photos of the same view every day! The house itself is comfortable, well equipped and is perfect for a family break. It has all the things you need for a comfortable stay without losing any of the character of a rural dwelling. There are three double rooms - the two upstairs have en-suite, and the downstairs one has easy access to a shower room and toilet. The house is rurally located, which means it is lovely and quiet - usually you can only hear the sounds of nature and the occasional sounds of human life still happening elsewhere. Lucca is a 15 minute drive away and there are plenty of places to park, eat, drink and explore. A few tips for travellers: - the road to the house is narrow and windy - if the car hire company give you a big car and you are not used to narrow roads, ask them for a smaller one - the house is nestled in the middle of an area of woodland, so you will need bug repellent - as you leave Torre onto the main road, in the opposite direction from Lucca, there is a lovely bakery which does fresh bred and pastries - you must visit!

Total peace, fantastic views
We had a wonderful time at Massimo's beautiful home on the hillside. Fantastic views, absolutely gorgeous in the morning and at night. The home is impeccably clean. We were very comfortable and didn't have any complaints. We took great trips from this location, to Lucca, Cinque Terre, Volterra, Pisa, Garfagnana, Florence and Carrara. We ate at the suggested restaurants and loved them. Like others mentioned, the drive to the house is thrilling and does get easier every time you do it. Tuscany is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Don't hesitate to plan this trip. I cannot wait to return.

Amazing stay in a wonderful villa!
Planned this trip with my two siblings and my sister in law and we are so happy we chose Massimo’s Villa! Massimo is a wonderful host and went above and beyond to accommodate us on a very late arrival time due to some airline delays. We should have arrived at 3pm but due to delays and being rerouted through Rome we did not arrive until 1am. Massimo’s suggestions for restaurants and winery visits were on point and setting us up with a Chef to cook dinner for us at the Villa made for a very memorable evening. Would not hesitate to stay at this property again! 5 Stars!!!

This place is just wonderful and Massimo is THE BEST host. The place doesn't have air conditioning, but don't let that put you off. We stayed there when it was unusually hot and it was still cool enough inside to sleep. The windows are all fitted with screens, so you can have the window without worry of insects getting in. The house has everything you can possibly need. Loved it. There's not a thing we would change!

A fantastic Lucca dream vacation.
We really loved our stay at this Tuscan farmhouse, we did not want to leave. The setting was perfect, up in the hills overlooking Lucca just a few miles distant. We had various family members coming and going throughout our stay. There was plenty of privacy for all with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is wonderful shared spaces to enjoy, the views from the terrace were spectacular. We were able to enjoy afternoon aperitivo as we relaxed in the setting sun. The full kitchen allowed us to make many meals from the treasures we found while roaming the countryside. The place was very clean and well set up, we were able to meet our host Massimo and move right in. The house is located perfectly, we could leave the house and be in the city walls of Lucca within 20 minutes. Groceries, gas, and pharmacies all within 10 minutes or so. From the house we drove to Pisa in 30 minutes, Lido di Camaiore (beach) 35 minutes, Florence a little more than an hour by train or car, Siena, Pienza, Arezzo 2 hours or less by car. Being so close to Lucca we really got to know the city. It’s easy to cover on foot, and there are many very good restaurants, and a great, more relaxed vibe than the more touristy cities in Tuscany. Our host Massimo was terrific, in fact the best we have encountered. We felt like valued guests. He even helped sorting out a parking ticket for us. Recommended a private chef for a special dinner that we loved. Massimo gets our highest recommendation.

Hilltop with amazing views
We found this property on short noticed and it was pretty amazing. The view of the valley towards Lucca was spectacular. We really enjoyed the house and terrace. My only comment would be that it would be nice to have some kitchen stables available as the store is not close and who thinks they need to buy salt/pepper/olive oil. Other than that it was a great house. Winding road is not for everyone but once you do it a few times it's not too bad! Mossimo is a great and informative host.

My husband and I and another couple stayed at Massimo’s beautiful property for a week. The pictures actually don’t do it justice. Sitting on the patio with our spritzes looking at the mountains and Lucca was my favorite thing. We did day trips to Lucca, Pisa, Barga and the coast easily. We thought about visiting the Cinque Terre but were worried about crowds. Massimo suggested Porto Venere instead and it was perfect. No crowds, beautiful little village on the coast. We would definitely stay here again. Massimo is the perfect host.
