Further details for this vacation farmhouse rental in Lucca, Italy
The Pool & Estate: Grassed paths from both patios lead up to the 12x6m infinity swimming pool with stunning views across the plain of Lucca to the Pisan mountains, distant Pisa and (on a clear day) the mountains of Elba (some 100 miles distant). The facilities include a children's paddling pool, terracotta patio, paved sun terrace and grassed shaded terrace with sun-loungers, bench, wooden tables and chairs. The pool is protected by fencing (1.2m high), hedges, walls and gates. La Casa Padronale is also protected by a fence. Enjoy some 25 acres of woodlands, olive grove and disused vineyard, with traditional terracing and pathways. La Fienile is approached by a un-metalled driveway (approx 800m) past a seasonal waterfall, first through woodlands and then olive groves. Cars with very low clearance are inadvisable, but hire cars generally have no difficulty. N.B. The house is a Tuscan farmhouse, not an urban hotel. It is normal in the area occasionally to experience water and power shortages.
San Macario in Monte : A village with a distinctive bell-tower in a stunningly beautiful part of north-west Tuscany, beneath the Apuan Alps and close to the Garfagnana National Park. Village shops include a grocery store, several bakeries and two butchers, one of whom is Andrea Cortopassi, widely-regarded for the quality of his generally locally-reared meat. Two large supermarkets (Co-op and Pam) are within a further 5 minutes drive. San Macario is 10 minutes drive from Lucca and less than 20 miles from Pisa (its famous tower and airport visible in the distance). Direct flights to Pisa from the US (New York - Delta), UK, Ireland and many other European airports. Florence Airport is also easily within an hour. Olive groves (within the exclusive Lucca DOP), vineyards (Colline Lucchese DOC) and woodlands surround scattered farmhouses and villas alike. It is anticipated that the village will shortly become an official Nature Reserve.
Golf: La Fienile is especially suited to golfers. The house is owned by the editor/photographer of the acclaimed Pocket Guide to Golf Courses series, written with NZ tour pro and course designer Greg Turner (one of the few to have beaten Tiger Woods). We are extremely well-connected within the Italian golf world, and can arrange tailor-made golf or golf and culture holidays, from a self-catering basis right through to a tour hosted by Greg Turner or other golf playing/course design/photography professionals, as suits the interests of the party. We organise golf+culture tours of Tuscany: there are 7 courses within 1 hour of La Fienile, including Versilia (revised by JM Olzabal) on the coast, the famous Ugolino (Italian Open venue) outside Florence and the stunning setting of Poggio dei Medici, north of Florence. Our disused vineyard is used as a practice fairway and by the two teaching professionals on our staff. Discover the underestimated charm of Italian golf, and see the culture of Tuscany - all in one go!
Other Activities: Art/culture tours; Olive picking; Wine tasting; Cookery art and film courses
