Just wow! What a beautiful stone cottage in the mountains near Bagni di Lucca. Built over 3 floors, it has large spacious rooms and all furnished with tasteful art, sculpture, photography and period furniture. And so many books! An absolutely beautiful aesthetic space in a tranquil situation with mountain views. The perfect place to relax and recover from everyday life, a true escape. The kitchen is in the large, cool basement, leading onto the mountainside terrace; it is really well stocked. The bathroom (top floor, along with the bedrooms) is spacious and in Mediterranean / North African style with a wet room (cold showers perfect in hot weather!) There's a great study if you want/need to work (we didn't!) The cottage is a great springboard for Florence and all its fantastic museums - just an hour and a half to the car park where you hop on the tram into the city centre. Also Pisa (Leaning Tower) and Lucca (walled town) are nearby. The hosts (who live next door) are brilliant - friendly and welcoming, and they understand the perfect balance between being helpful / available and discreet. This beautiful place will certainly become our much loved home from home!

True Tuscan experience. We wanted a small town and a local feel along with time away from the big tourist cities…we got that! Kevan was very responsive and his place is filled with things you did not even know you needed. We felt at home there!

Spacious and confortable, Kevan was on hand if anything was needed. Felt right at home. Once you're used to the road to the village, you realise it's a great hub to visit Tuscany from.

We had a very relaxing stay in this old farm house which is full of character with amazing views across the valley to the mountains beyond. The property is situated high in the mountains, it requires a car drive and driver to negotiate the winding road to the car park which is about 50 Mts from the house down a made road. The house is comfortable with a great kitchen for cooking in. The bedroom we had was cosy with an on-suite bathroom. The decor is basic but pleasant. The views are wonderful.We stayed the beginning of October and the evening's were cool and the house will benefit from the new stove about to be fitted on cooler night. We enjoyed the time we had there and may go back but at a different time of year.
