Lucca is a half hour drive away and is a hidden jewel in the Tuscan crown where you can hire bikes and cycle around the tree lined walls, climb up ancient towers and marvel at the views or enjoy a glass of wine in the the Roman 'antiteatro', Florence is a 2 hour drive away or just take the train & relax

Lovely Tuscan home

Pip et al Bristol, UK
Review Submitted: February 25, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
We stayed here August 09, sharing with another family and it was exceptional. Perfect balance of Tuscan charm with the comforts and conveniences of quality fixtures and fittings, we all felt at home. The owner was helpful, providing all the info we needed for the trip and the local agent was a kind and knowledgeable resource on arrival. A lovely home in a beautiful environment, stunning views, lovely, well maintained pool, great outside dining area. A superb find...but don't tell anyone!

Fantastic

Review Submitted: July 30, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had an amazing week at Casa Peggi for my Dad’s 60th birthday. The house is lovely and the views are unbelievable. I wish we were back there now! There were 8 adults and 2 young children in our group and there was plenty of room for us all to have our own space, along with great areas to get together for meals etc. The owner, Mike, was really helpful and quick to respond to emails and questions. I would really recommend this property.

Christmas heaven

Jeskit London
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We stayed at Casa Peggi for Christmas 2008, with two families, including three young ones. We had brilliant sunshine and crisp frosts most days, and the view across the mountains was magical. At this time of year the area is fantastic, experiencing the Italian Christmas, walks in the woods, long lunches in local restaurants and shopping and sightseeing in Lucca. Casa Peggi is a lovely house with large rooms, a cosy kitchen with open wood fire and views to die for. The English owners have been really helpful and know all the best places to go. we will definitely be booking again.
