Photos and Description of the Fucecchio vacation apartment rental
Family holiday self catering accomodation with garden, scenic pool. Free WiFi

LA SCUOLA holiday home is a small holiday complex in a very quiet countryside (within the Parco delle Cerbaie) overlooking a green valley. It allows you to relax, while being able, at the same time, to be in less than 1 hour in almost every tourist destination in Tuscany (Lucca, Pisa, Vinci, San Gimignano, Florence, the beach). So, in the morning you can have a massage by the pool, take a walk to the little country shops or go to the supermarkets in Fucecchio (5 kms) with your car, then visit one or more tourist attraction in Tuscany, come back to enjoy a swim our fantastic pool (12x6), relax in the large equipped garden sipping an aperitivo while the tomato sauce boils in the kitchen, then have a relaxing dinner in the garden alfresco. The 6 basic apartments in the former school building have 1, 2 or even 4 bedrooms while the brand new villa offers some more comforts and sleeps up to 6. Parking inside the property. Nice country pizzeria / restaurant at walking distance. Free Wi-Fi.

*Everyday Life*

A big plus for all our guests is that we live nearby. We will welcome you, show you around, provide maps of the area and give you a list of restaurants and enjoyable excursions. We are always on hand if you need us but we will leave you to your well deserved holiday!

We sometimes see that families arrive here with the car full of groceries and food. Please note that most of the food you buy at home is available also here. Our local supermarket is open from 8AM to 9PM every day except Sunday; and 9AM to 8 PM on every other Sunday. Another supermarket nearby is open from 8AM to 8PM and also every Sunday morning from 9AM to 12.30AM. And another smaller grocery shop, Gelsastore, is open any day of the year from 4 in the morning to 1 at night!

* Market *

A medley of colors and scents awaits you every Wednesday morning in Fucecchio in Piazza XX Settembre.

*Restaurants!*

One of the reasons to rent a holiday accommodation is that you can cook your own food and avoid eating out. You can shop at farmers' markets, try local recipes, keep your children entertained while cooking... But sometimes you just want to relax and unwind with a nice glass of wine and let others cook! Among other local area information, we will give you a list of nearby restaurants (one of them is at walking distance!) we usually go to! And we will be happy to call and reserve a table for you, if you like!

*Palio di Fucecchio (horse race)*

Every year since 1981, there is this horse race in Fucecchio. The town is divided into contrade (just like Siena!). You will spend your holidays at La Scuola Holiday Home, so in contrada Torre, whose colours are white and blue. Before 'the' day, there are dinners in each contrada, possibly al fresco, in order to spend nice time together, get to know each other and have a home style meal with some good wine. The date of the event is usually the third Sunday of May. In the morning you can attend the historical parade with its lively display of rich costumes - 1200 people! - along the streets of Fucecchio. The 3 afternoon races take place at la Buca del Palio (Via Fratelli Rosselli in Fucecchio). Palio might last until sunset! Then you can go dining at the winning contrada. For a fucecchiese, Palio is like Football World Cup for Italians! The date for 2014 is the 18th of May!

*Infiorata di Corpus Domini (flower carpets)*:

On the Sunday of Corpus Domini the streets of historic Fucecchio are covered by beautiful floral carpets. It is a quite common tradition in central Italy that originated in St. Peter's Basilica in 1265.

In Fucecchio the custom of sprinkling the streets with flowers and forest sprigs compose sacred figures, dates back to the 30es but it was only in 1990 that the Flower Festival has become a tradition.

The carpet of flowers are displayed in the old city centre, starting from and coming back to the Collegiate Church. The materials used are many varieties of seasonal flowers (poppies, brooms, carnations, roses ...) and many other type of natural material (grapes, coffee, wood chips ...).

*Padule di Fucecchio, a bird watchers' paradise*

The Padule di Fucecchio is the largest non-coastal marshland area in Italy (around 1,800 hectares!).

The Padule is one of the last refuges for many plant species (the yellow floating heart or water fringe, now very rare in Tuscany, or white and yellow pondlilies, etc.), and is a big attraction for birdwatching enthusiasts, especially during the spring migration. Over 150 species can be observed throughout the year, at least fifty of which are nesting birds. Of particular interest are the herons, which nest in colonies, and migratory birds like the stilt bird, crane and black stork. There are 9 nature trails in the marshes, most on foot, some by car.

About Ms. Tiziana Fierli

I was born in Fucecchio and I have been living here all of my life. Even if I have been working in the fashion industry for 2 decades now, I am more and more interested in the holiday rental world, so now I am also attending a course to become a professional manager in hospitality and tourism management and I started a blog about everyday life in Tuscany. You learn something new every day!

Ms. Tiziana Fierli purchased this apartment in 1998
Why Ms. Tiziana Fierli chose Fucecchio

My father bought this property in the late '90. It was in such a state! No heating, no electricity, no running water! He started to restore it (with Italian burocracy, this process can take a lot of time and even more patience!), then came with this idea: 'Why don't we rent to tourists?'. At that time (pre-internet era for me) I thought it was a terrible idea. 'Tourists in Fucecchio? This is not going to happen!'. How wrong I was!

What makes this apartment unique

It is easy to fall in love with this location! Splendid views over a tranquil valley, fantastic pool. Real possibility of reaching from nearby Empoli train station: Florence in 24 minutes, Pisa in 28 minutes and Siena in 45 minutes (stress free solution), or Lucca in under 30 minutes by car.

We had a very enjoyable stay at La Scuola. The house was perfectly situated for our party of 10. Tiziana and Walter were so accommodating and welcoming. We contacted them all the time asking for restaurant or activity recommendations. There is a wonderful book of all the surrounding cities with activities and such. We will be coming back again soon.

Il posto è delizioso,molto accurato ed immerso nel verde. La piscina ,dotata di tutti i comfort,(ombrelloni,lettini ,doccia) , offre un magnifico colpo d'occhio al turista che arriva.
Gli appartamenti , confortevoli e spaziosi e arredati con cura, permettono di trascorrere un soggiorno piacevolissimo.
E' la quarta volta che soggiorniamo alla "SCUOLA".in attesa della quinta!!
Un ringraziamento particolare a Tiziana Fierli, ineccepibile padrona di casa.

Tak for en god ferie :)

er sådan et smukt og unikt sted, super for en familietur, som vores :) 6 voksne og 3 børn. Vi havde den store lejlighed, med masser af plads. Og den grønne plæne blev der indtaget en masse lækkert mad og drikkelse. Tiziana bød os hjertelig velkommen og hjalp os, især med mulighed for at se vm fodbold, på tv, på nettet og i nogle hyggelige sportsbar i området. Tak for den super hjælp. Tak for en god ferie :)

Pohozhe, kirillica ne podderzhivaetsja. Pishu translitom.
Vdevjaterom ezdili. 5 vzroslyh (30-40 let), 4 rebenka (ot 3.5 do 13 let). Dobiralis' na svoih mashinah iz Kaliningrada.
Hozjaeva, Tiziana i Walter - ochen' gostepriimnye ljudi. Nesmotrja na nashe opozdanie (priehali pochti noch'ju), vstretili nas i razmestili.
Territorija villy ochen' prostorna. Nebol'shaja luzhajka s derev'jami vozle vhoda v dom, na kotoroj stoit udobnaja sadovaja mebel'. Dostatochno bol'shoj i udobnyj bassejn s chistoj vodoj. Udobnoe krytoe barbekju. Bol'shoj park s luzhajkami.
Edu gotovili sami. V mestnyh supermarketah (5-10 km ot mesta) ogromnyj vybor (po sravneniju s Moskvoj) kachestvennyh produktov po cenam v 2-5 raz nizhe, chem v Rossii. Mjaso i moreprodukty na grile, tajuwaja vo rtu ital'janskaja vetchina (proshutto) raznyh sortov, otlichnaja pasta, Kapreze, Parmezan, v obwem - gastronomicheskij bespredel :) Popravilsja na 3 kg :)
Posetili Pizu, Florenciju, Lukku. Do vseh jetih prekrasnejshih mest ot 30 do 50 km. Vo Florencii problemy s parkovkami, tak chto rekomenduju parkovat'sja podal'she ot centra (v 1-1.5 km) i tuda dobirat'sja peshkom. Po puti tozhe krasivo. V Pize zaparkovalis' bez problem v polukilometre ot bashni. V Lukke - tozhe problem ne bylo. Vezde v jetih mestah ochen' krasivo. Chuvstvuetsja podlinnaja Italija (Toskanskaja ee chast'). Zadachi hodit' po muzejam u nas ne bylo, pojetomu v osnovnom prosto guljali i poluchili massu udovol'stvija. Ceny v restoranah v samyh centrah jetih turisticheskih mest - ot 10 evro za kompleksnyj obed s vinom do 30 - jeto esli priverednichat'.
Vse ostal'noe vremja my otdyhali na ville (vsego bylo 8 dnej). Deti igrajut u bassejna, vzroslye nespeshno popivajut prosekko (igristoe vino, tipa shampanskogo, no pomjagche), frizante (ewe bolee mjagkoe gazirovannoe vino, 7.5 gradusov), prosto vina; muzhiki - pochti besplatnoe pivo iz Italii i Germanii. Limonche, Aperol i t. d. Dlja opisanija ital'janskoj edy i vypivki est' mnogo specializirovannyh sajtov.
Ponachalu nam pokazalos', chto iz-za nalichija sosedej nam ne hvatit mesta na luzhajke i u bassejna. Nichego podobnogo - sosedej my pochti ne videli, mesta hvatalo vsem s lihvoj.
V obwem - otlichnyj otdyh. U nas est' bogatyj opyt poezdok po vsemu miru. Tut - ochen' kruto. Luchshe ehat' na paru nedel'.

La Scuola oli hieno paikka lomailla erityisesti lasten kanssa. Vanhasta koulusta lomahuoneistoiksi entisöity 'Holiday Home' on omassa rauhassaan portin takana ja alueella on turvallista tilaa telmiä - jos altaassa uimiselta ehtii.
Iltaisin ulkosalla syöminen oli juhlaa. Paikallisten markettien ja keskiviikon markkinoiden ruokatarjonta on mahtavaa ja nähtävyys jo sinänsä.
Huoneistomme oli erittäin siisti, ja täytti hienosti sen vähäisen tarpeen mitä sisätiloilta odotimme.
Sijainti on erinomainen Toscanaan tutustumiseen: muutaman kymmenen ajokilometrin säteellä Lucca, San Gimignano, Volterra, San Miniato, Firenze, Pisa ja Välimeri, jne, ja muutaman kilometrin päässä itse Fucecchio - omaa elämäänsä elelevä mukava pikkukaupunki, jossa ei ole turistitungosta.
Ja lopuksi yksi tärkeimmistä asioista La Scuolassa: vuokraemäntä Tiziana on uskomaton asiakaspalvelija! Tiziana teki kaikkensa lomalaisten viihtymiseksi ja toiveiden/kysymysten täyttämiseksi. Esimerkkinä vaikkapa tämä: puhuimme viineistä ja harmittelin - siis en kysynyt -, että en ole löytänyt Villa Cafaggion Riservaa lähikaupunkien kaupoista. Sain seuraavana päivänä tekstiviestin Tizianalta, että ko. viinin lähin jälleenmyyjä on Montaionessa osoitteessa se ja se.. Hän oli soittanut viinitilalle ja selvittänyt asian!
So Thank You once again Tiziana!
Best regards, kokkonenkukkonen -:)
