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.

Rural Tranquility

Lesley & Bridget 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.

Tranquil farmhouse stay in gorgeous countryside

pippak Los Angeles CA USA
Review Submitted: October 17, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our stay at the beautiful, tranquil "Abbacca-là" was all that we had hoped for ... and more.

We were greeted and helped by Lella and her family with care, attention and helpfulness in every aspect of our stay. Whether it was information about things to do, a referral for a horse-riding class, her superb and utterly memorable meal, directions to restaurants and shops, or ideas about how to spend a major holiday in a closed-down country, she was our Source!

It was a joy to return from a scorching day and enter the cool stone-walled house, or dip into the fresh pool. My 6-year old daughter discovered that life on a farm can be "amazing"! And we would love to return to savor the Tuscan way of life.

Wonderful place to stay

Suzanne28 Lake Villa, IL
Review Submitted: October 10, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Lella is the best hostess you can find. We had a wonderful time. Her place is a great location to go on day trips. And Lella can help with directions. The apartments are very clean and plenty of room. She will give you a cooking lesson too. We also rented her car. If you are planning a trip to the Lucca area this is a great place to stay.

Picturesque Tuscany

Boofy Ballarat, Australia
Review Submitted: July 12, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
This comfortable farmhouse is located in glorious surroundings. The sweeping views of Tuscany are truly breathtaking; majestic mountains stretch away into the distance while close by, ponies and donkeys graze amongst olive trees. Everywhere you turn, the vistas are classical Italy. Roads wind through picture-book villages, past quiet churches and vineyards, cross tumbling rivers and pass through stands of chestnut, beech and, of course, cyprus trees. The walled city of Lucca is a short and easy drive, and Florence is a short train journey away. Cinque Terra is also within easy reach
The farmhouse itself has everything you need. It is warm, comfortable and well-appointed and feels like a home. The farmhouse hosts live on the property and made us feel very welcome. The family are friendly, helpful and their hospitality added greatly to our enjoyment of this magnificent region of Italy. We enjoyed our stay so much, and recall the week we had with great warmth.
