A real taste of Tuscany
A real taste of Tuscany
My husband surprised me with a trip to Tuscany to celebrate a "big" birthday. We had been watching movies and travel shows on TV for a while and knew that we wanted to walk the wall in Lucca for sure. We looked at many accommodations in the area, and decided that our key decision factors would be: (1) a place that looks and feel like Tuscany, where we could relax with a glass of wine at the end of the day, (2) proximity to restaurants, (3) conveniently located to travel the area. This house was a perfect match. Enjoying Italian meats and cheeses at the table, or sitting in the sofa, was exactly what we were looking for. The architecture details of the house and the exquisite furniture and decoration made our trip a success. The underpass to town was closed the first day, so we drove to the best pizzas we ever tasted. You need to try the "crudo, mascarpone, ruccola" pizza. Just divine! For the rest of our stay, we could walk to town in no time. Be careful about reservations though. Restaurants seem to fill up as we near the weekend. It was easy to drive to Pisa, Lucca and San Gimignano. We absolutely loved all 3 destinations. We decided not to go to Florence on this trip and to go again another time. San Gimignano wins the awards for the best views. If you have dreamt of rolling hills covered with vineyards, this is the place for you. Each and every city takes you back in time. It was fantastic. One added bonus for this location was the proximity to stores. I did not intend on shopping on our trip, but when I entered the Globo store, I could not stop. I bought 3 pairs of shoes! It was paradise! We could not have been happier with our host. We asked for a few recommendations now and then and he was always prompt to send us directions, always with a smile. That makes a difference too :-)

Lovely stay. All you need in the property for a restful time and Giulio on hand if you need any further tips or advice. Would highly recommend a trip to the local pizzeria in the village. Thank you for looking after us Giulio

This was a wonderful place to call home for a month while working and vacationing in Italy. It easily accommodated my wife, 2 year-old daughter, and one grandparent for this time frame. The owner was attentive and available, and everything we needed was available in the apartment, from kitchenware to children's toys and maps of the area. It even included a gate to restrict our 2 year-old from going up the stairs and hurting herself, and a toddler bed for her to sleep in. The location is wonderful, Marginone is a small town with a grocery, pastry shop, several restaurants, and a bar and is only a 2-3 minute walk. Altopascio is close by with more shopping and restaurants, and is only 2-3 minutes by car. Also very close by is Montecarlo, which is a beautiful hilltop town with local restaurants, a few shops, and most importantly amazing views of the area and wonderful wine that is produced nearby. Further afield are Lucca, Pisa, and Florence, and all are within 30-40 minutes by car because of the close proximity of this property to the Autostrada. If you don't have a car, the local bus runs very close to the property and can take you to Altopascio, where you could make a 5-10 minute walk to the train station. From this station you can access all of Italy, of course. But most importantly, this is a lovely spot to spend time, the owner is wonderful, and there is so much to do and see close-by that you wouldn't have to leave to enjoy yourself immensely.
Beautifully furnished house with a large garden and friendly host. Great value for money! Convenient location for exploring nearby cities and enjoying local cuisine.

Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Genau wie auf den Fotos zu erkennen. Der dazugehörige Garten, mit eigener Einfahrt ist sehr groß und man findet immer ein sonniges oder schattiges Plätzchen.
Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und großzügig. Toll, dass es noch solche netten Menschen gibt, die einem nicht nur das Geld aus der Nase ziehen möchten! Insgesamt ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis super!!!
In dem Ort selber können wir die Pizzeria wärmstens empfehlen. Auch sehr günstig und total lecker!
Ansonsten ist die nähere Umgebung wahrscheinlich nicht die allerschönste in der Toskana, aber man ist mit dem Auto sehr schnell in Orten wie Pisa, Lucca, Montecatini, Florenz oder auch am Meer.
Insgesamt haben wir den Urlaub sehr genossen und können das Haus absolut empfehlen!

Très bon accueil – les propriétaires sont sympathiques, ils habitent à proximité, sont disponibles en cas de besoin et restent très discrets Jolie décoration – Jardin calme et idéal pour les enfants Bien situé (près Pise Florence jolis sites Toscans)
It’s the ideal base for anyone who wants to easily explore the most beautiful parts of Tuscany. The train station is 3 km away, and the bus stop is just 300 meters away. The highway is 3 km away. A small shopping center and restaurants are 300 meters away, and all kinds of stores are within 3 km. The solid-wood kitchen features a soft-stone sink supported by a low wall of old bricks, as was customary in the kitchens of Tuscan farmers in days gone by. The bricks were salvaged during the restoration of the farmhouse.
