Photos and Description of the Lucca vacation apartment rental Farmhouse - Either one unit sleeps 6/8 or two units one with 2 bedrooms bathroom

The farmhouse is situated on the side of a hill in the hamlet of Aquilea. It has panoramic views of the valley and the national park in the distance. The views can only be described as stunning! The farm is an organic small holding with free range animals, olive groves, vegetables and fruit. They produce some of the electricity and hot water from solar panels. The house has been recently fully restore to a very high standard and can be rented out as one or as two separate units. Unit one has a kitchen/diner, bathroom and bedroom. Unit two has kitchen/diner, lounge, bathroom and two bedrooms. Outside is a area, for each unit, for those ' Al fresco ' meals. There is also a round, above the ground pool, to relax in. The owner speaks excellent English and will cook those real Tuscany dinners for 20 Euro per head. For an extra 25 Euro per head you could have a cookery lesson. The dinners and the cookery lesson are severed and done in the owner's part of the house.

Reviews for this vacation apartment rental in Lucca, Italy

Lucca vacation apartment rental rating 55/5
Rural Tranquility
BiddyG  Bristol UK
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
A wonderfully located agriturismo just a short drive north of Lucca. Simply decorated and adequately appointed but sufficient to make self-catering easy. The hosts are genuinely welcoming and speak good english but were happy to let me try out my GCSE italian without laughing out loud.
A good location for many activities. I was able to visit Siena, Florence and the Cinque Terre easily. But if you wanted to be outdoors-y I'm sure there would be plenty to keep you busy. there is a riding school just up the road I believe.
The road to the village has some serious hairpin bends, but once you get used to them, they are not so scary. But look out for the dog in the middle of the road in Aquilea.
Two large but well behaved dogs amble about the property and are totally loveable.
Lella and her family are wonderful hosts. They are helpful and obliging and are delighted to show you the joys of living in rural Italy. I was lucky enough to be invited to share the Mayday festa complete with roast piglet cooked in the traditional wood fired oven. Fantastic.
I hope to return soon along with some friends to take some cooking lessons and enjoy the local wine and the fabulous views across the valley.

65 yr old outdoor enthusiast adds praise
Kathy, [Sharon's friend]  San Diego, California, USA
Review Submitted: April 16, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
I was here with Sharon from Rochester and wanted to agree with all she said. Lella couldn't have been more gracious or helpful. I loved the little car we hired from her at a most resonable rate. The area exceded my expectations. I'd go back in a minute, and many times if I had an unlimited source of funds. Great place for an outdoor type of person. So beautiful! And to reiterate the previous reviews, great food. Don't miss the oportunity to have Lella cook you a meal. I loved how remote it was and loved walking the countryside. [Local wine was top notch as well.] Thanks again for all the time you took advising us on day trips Lella. ' Wish I could come back for fall harvest.

Family vacation
BethJ  New York, NY
Review Submitted: April 9, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My family (me, my husband Michael, our 2 daughters and their husbands and our 17 month old granddaughter) stayed in this charming farmhouse March 23 - 30, 2008. We had a wonderful vacation! The views are spectacular and Lella is an excellent hostess. We greatly appreciated the delicious dinner she cooked the evening of our arrival. Our little granddaughter was thrilled to see the friendly "neigh neigh's" (horses) and "bock bock's" (chickens) as well as the huge friendly dogs. We walked a lot and drove to Lucca, Florence, Pisa, and several small towns. Please note that this property is suitable for tourists without a car because Lella has a car available to rent at a reasonable fee. However, it is not suitable for those who cannot drive because shopping is close enough by car, but too far to walk.
Thanks Lella! We look forward to seeing you and your family again.
Best wishes,
Beth

Home away from home!
SharonP  Rochester, Minnesota USA
Review Submitted: April 1, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My friends and I (all in our 60's) stayed at this Eco-friendly farmhouse in March and had a wonderful time. Lella and her husband were the most warm and helpful host...always available to help us with questions and travel tips. The farmhouse was very clean and provided everything we needed to feel very much at home. The location is perfect for exploring interesting cities and sights by car or travel by train or bus. We really appreciated being able to use their car for our excursions and travel while staying there...very reasonable price and spared us the hassle of car rental.
We especially enjoyed the meal Lella made for us using many of the "fruits of their labor"...like olives,olive oil (the best I've ever tasted) and bean soup made from beans unique to the Lucca area. (Lella was kind enough to give me some of the beans to try in my own summer garden!)
I give this place a huge five star rating and hope you will consider it for your stay in the beautiful hills of Tuscany.
Thanks for everything Lella...I feel like we were staying with family! A grateful guest, Sharon

Our lovely first time in Tuscany
chels.and.alex  Miami, FL, USA
Review Submitted: March 29, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
My boyfriend and I had an amazing first time in
Tuscany, largely thanks to Lella and family. The
dinner she made on our first night was fabulous,
and the family made us feel welcome. The
countryside is, of course, beautiful. It is also
amazing that Lella and family live such an eco-
friendly lifestyle, using solar power etc. Thanks for
an amazing trip Lella (our Italian mamma) We can't
wait to return =)
