Casa Lucchese, a farmhouse apartment with pool on the hills of Lucca

A lovely 1.5 km drive through olive groves brings you to the private, gated entrance. The Apartment Casa Lucchese is part of a six units farmhouse called 'Il Borghetto' (formerly a rural, rustic farmhouse from the 14th century) in the hills below the village of San Gennaro near Lucca. The apartment is a tasteful blend of rustic, contemporary and antique furnishings. A 5 x 12 metre swimming pool with beautifully manicured lawns is shared by the apartments and is located on the terrace above the apartment with lovely views down the valley toward Lucca.

We are proud to offer a lifestyle in the heart of Tuscany that is truly unique. Picture yourself on the grounds of an historic 14th century building, rebuilt to the highest standards using only traditional Tuscan materials and methods, from handmade terra cotta tiled floors, to chestnut beams and tiled ceilings. The property also makes extensive use of hand built stone walls in keeping with the character and traditions of Tuscany.

There are two large ensuite bedrooms/bathrooms. One of the bedrooms has French doors leading out to your private sitting area. Lots of light with windows in all bedrooms and bathrooms. Great views from every room. Dedicated shared laundry room.

The location of il Borghetto in San Gennaro is superb. In the medium hills above the Lucca plain and below the historic village of San Gennaro, we offer a piece of solitude in the Tuscan hills. Views of vineyards and olive groves are offered from every vantage point on the property. The newly built property features the stones of the 14th century building that stood on this very spot. Modern inside, the apartment retains the Tuscan charm of handmade terra cotta floors and chestnut beam ceilings throughout. Dedicated shared laundry room.

It is advisable to have a car with high suspension to comfortably navigate the 500-meter country dirt road leading to the house.

Enjoy a scenic 20-minute hike up the hill to San Gennaro, where you can savour a meal at the local trattoria, Il Corno Rosso. The area is surrounded by well-marked hiking paths, maintained by the Club Alpino Italiano, offering numerous opportunities for exploration.

Quiet Country Property
We truly enjoyed our stay at this place, It was so quiet and comfortable. Martina was a great in communicating with us and in dealing with any issues that we may have. She helped to set up a wine tour for us and in directing us to different sights that we wanted to see. I would definitely recommend this place.

Ruhige Lage, etwas wenig Ausstattung
sehr entspannter Aufenthalt, bei warmem Wetter ist sicher auch der Pool sehr schön. Ein Auto ist zwingend erforderlich. Für Rennradfahrer nur ok, da man das erste Stück über Schotter schieben muss. Die Ausstattung ist leicht verbesserungsfähig, aber o.k. Wir hätten uns mehr Haken in den Bädern und Ablagen gewünscht. Insgesamt gut zum Runterkommen. Gute Restaurantempfehlungen in der Hausmappe.

cadre buccolique - chambre à coucher problématique
- excellente localisation sur les collines au nord-est de Lucca, sachant qu'il y a 1km de route non-goudronnée - excellente prise en charge par Martina - par contre, une des deux chambres de la Casa Lucchese donnait sur le passage avant. Cela présentait deux désavantages majeurs: 1) illumination nocturne faisant de la nuit le jour: il a fallu fermer les volets pour avoir de l'obscurité, ce qui a malheureusement empêché la fraicheur de la nuit de rafraichir la chambre. Dommage de ne pas pouvoir dormir les fenêtres ouvertes dans un lieu aussi buccolique. Même après une réduction de l'intensité du projecteur lumineux du haut, le dehors restait à notre goût trop illuminé. 2) la terrasse juste devant cette chambre à coucher était à notre arrivée réservée à l'appartement voisin. Imaginez avoir des voisins devant votre lit avec juste un rideau comme séparation. A la fin de la première semaine, à notre demande, il y a eu un échange de terrasse, l'appartement voisin ayant reçu la terrasse adjacente à notre living. Evidemment que cela n'était pas très pratique non plus et que cela ne résolvait pas entièrement le problème de privacité. Au total, la répartition des parties privatives était améliorable.

Très agréable séjour dans la campagne toscane proche de Lucca
Logement confortable et au calme, où vous serez heureux de vous reposer et de profiter de la piscine à vos retours d’excursion. Nous avons passé une très belle semaine. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Petit conseil : la fin du chemin pour accéder à cette belle location est en cailloux et un peu accidentée, donc n’est pas conseillée pour les voitures trop basses. Mais ce n’était pas un problème pour nous.

Alles ist sehr großzügig gestaltet
Die Wohnung, die Villa und vor allem der Garten sind wirklich sehr schön. Alles ist sehr großzügig gestaltet. Die Lage ist sehr gut, sofern man mit dem Auto anreist und die holperige Zufahrt (mit einem VW Golf bei umsichtiger Fahrweise machbar) nicht scheut. Man gelangt schnell in die umliegenden Städte Lucca (unbedingt zu empfehlen), Pisa, Pescia und Pistoia. Vom nahen Pescia aus (dort gibt es kostenlose Parkplätze direkt am Bahnhof)gelangt man mit dem Zug einfach in die Innenstadt von Florenz.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Lucca Apartments war sehr schön
Unser Aufenthalt bei Lucca Apartments war sehr schön und angenehm. Die Wohnung war sauber und die Gastgeberin immer erreichbar. Allerdings ist die Straße zur Unterkunft etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und nur mit einem guten Auto zu empfehlen (es handelt sich um 1km Kieselweg mit Kuhlen und teilweise steilem Anstieg).

Schöner Urlaub … aber …
Wie Waren als Familie vor Ort. Das Haus und Anwesen war wie beschrieben. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentur war gut. Nadja u. Domenico geben ihr bestes u. sind auch sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Der Pool wird leider nicht täglich gereinigt, dass habe ich als Gast übernommen, damit meine Kinder immer schwimmen konnten. Außerdem stimmte der Chlorgehalt nicht. Erst zu wenig u. dann viel zu viel. Die Augen brannten. Positiv: Handtücher, Bettwäsche war steht sauber vor Ort in der ,,Wäscherei“ zu finden. Die Anlage ist sauber! Insgesamt war es ein sehr schöner Urlaub und absolut empfehlenswert! Wir kommen gerne wieder. PS: Die Zufahrt zum Anwesen ist eine Zumutung und hier sollte man Geld in die Hand nehmen, um ein einigermaßen vernünftige Straße zu bauen.

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment! The pool was great and the apartment was really nice. The road to the house is a bit of a challenge as it is mostly gravel, but you have a really nice view from the pool!

Ein wunderschönes Anwesen, mit viel Liebe zum Detail saniert. Unser Appartement war sehr schön eingerichtet, es hat an Nichts gefehlt. Jim kümmert sich um alles, hat fantastische Tipps für Unternehmungen in der Umgebung und ist sehr hilfsbereit. Er war jederzeit erreichbar. Es gibt einen Grill, Wäscheständer, Waschmaschine, ausreichend Liegen am Pool sowie Sonnenschirme und eine große Box mit allerlei Spielzeug für den Pool. Anwesen, Garten und Pool sind äußerst gepflegt und sauber. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und können diese Ferienwohnung in jedem Fall empfehlen. Mille grazie Jim!

Relax al Borghetto
Quest’anno i miei amici ed io, avevamo bisogno di una parentesi rilassante. Questa casa oltre ad essere bellissima e funzionale è posizionata in cima ad una collina contornata solamente dai suoni della natura. Il proprietario (Jim) è una persona squisita sempre disponibile. Dalla casa del borghetto si possono raggiungere in pochi minuti i servizi di prima necessità, e ristoranti con piatti tipici del luogo. Per noi è stata un’esperienza più che positiva!

A beautifully restored farmhouse on lovely grounds
Il Borghetto has been a perfect place for us to stay for a month each year for the last 4 years. It is beautifully situated in the hills near Lucca. The location is great for exploring the Lucca area, Florence, Pisa, Chianti area, and over to the Ligurian Coast. Close by are many wineries where you can enjoy the Tuscan wines. There are great restaurants nearby. A hiking trail is adjacent to the property. The apartments are well-equipped and very comfortable. Jim is an excellent host and source of information about the area. We hope to return again and again!
