Notes
- I do require a 400 € cash "Damage deposit" on arrival. Which be refunded before departure. The pool is in fact an ancient wash basin with running fresh water that comes out from the roots of chestnut trees. You can't really swim in it, but it is lovely for children or to cool off in the hot summer days. It is as well a romantic peaceful place, where you can have a drink at sunset, or a picnic. Towels and sheets are include in the price. Final cleaning is included in the price. If you stay more then one week, on Saturday we will have the house cleaned for you and we will give you new sheets and towels.

Location
The house lies between Lucca and the sea side. It's just 10 min. drive from the medeaval town of Lucca, close as well to less known towns as Camaiore and Pietrasanta. Of course Florence (60 min) and Pisa (40min) can be visited.. The sandy beach of Versilia takes 20 min.by car. The Puccini Summer Festival is 15 min. drive. The whole area is interesting historically and from a natural point of view. If you love walking, the Alpi Apuane are half an hour far, and you can see them in the distance from the living room. The outlet In Barberino del Mugello for unforgettable shopping is only 1and half hour far!
