Very private villa, pool, 12 km to Lucca, walk to restaurant, amazing views

Friends of Tuscany Ltd." manage all aspects of your villa booking with tailored information to get the most from your holiday. We can help to arrange a shopping delivery service, home made meal on arrival, wine tours, children’s activities, wild swimming spots, festivals, events, and restaurant recommendations based on our personal knowledge of the area built up over 30 years.

Casa dell' Acqua is a beautifully restored traditional farmhouse villa, which is wonderfully situated in a large olive grove on a hill overlooking the plain towards Lucca. There is a restaurant within walking distance, 200m (please note this restaurant opens with reservations only so guests must book).

The house can sleep 8 adults and a baby.

This is a special house which offers the opportunities of organised walking, art classes, home cooked meal delivery service and cooking lessons.

The house has lovely features with all modern facilities. It has been only recently restored and has a large olive grove around it. There is a colourful garden and terraces, on one of which an out of ground pool has been erected, great for cooling off or playing in. Casa dell'Aqua is a good sized country house with 4 bedrooms, 2 large doubles, 1 twin bedroom, and 1 bedroom with a small double ( 3/4 ) bed.

There is a large bright living room with a dining area and stone open fireplace, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen with table, and a utility room. There is a very comfortable, cool atmosphere about the old house, with many features including chestnut beams and terracotta ceilings, and lovely tiled floors.

There is good free internet and an electric car parking port which is paid at source.

Casa Dell' Acqua is so called due to the ancient well in the garden. It is situated on a famous hill known as 'La Bracolleria', which is host to seven small villages, olive groves, vineyards and farms. The Lucca hills are known for the quality of their wine and particularly olives and olive oil. There are fantastic views over the plain to Lucca, and over the Apuane Mountains to the North. One of the best inexpensive Tuscan-retreats.

The famous art city of Lucca is only a few kilometres away, and the lovely villages of the Media Valley and the dramatic mountain scenery of the Garfagnana are also nearby. There are many restaurants in the locality. There are also important churches and villages which can be visited on foot.

Bike rental available on request.

We can help arrange mountain biking, hill walking, horse riding, gorge walking and cooking classes which are all available locally.

Pool is open from May to October but this can be negotiated.

The owner will ask for a €200 refundable damages deposit.

Beautiful Setting
This property has everything you need for a comfortsble stay. Its beautifully placed and a great jumping off spot for exploring Tuscany. The hosts were just lovely and couldn't do enough to help us. I highly recommend it and we will go back. Our delight was sitting on the terraces at night and watching the fire flies. Lots of wildlife to enjoy in and around the gardens and olive grove.

The way to see Tuscany
It was so wonderful to be up in the hills of Tuscany and enjoying the outdoors. The house was so charming and historic We were able to walk up to an excellent restaurant in another historic building. As well, it was so close to Lucca and the train station. My husband has been all over the world and he said it was his best trip he’s ever taken! Thank you for the experience! Sue Mahoney

Very Special Villa
The villa was precious and the view was amazing. However, getting there was quite scary! And the amenities were scarce. But the owners were delightful and gave us a bottle of wine and delicious cookies! I don't think I'd stay there again because of the scary drive.

Beautiful View, Cozy Villa
A clean, comfortable villa with a fantastic view. Enzo, Host, was very helpful in getting our group settled. He even went way out of his way to pick up part of the party from the station in Pisa. We used the very functional kitchen, the beds were comfortable and enjoyed the quaintness of the Villa. Only challenge was the road up the mountain - took some careful getting used to!!

Perfect Tuscan Villa
We loved our stay. It was just how we dreamed of staying in a Tuscan villa. The villa was absolutely beautiful and the views were breathtaking. Our hosts were very helpful and responsive if we had any questions. We were able to drive to Lucca, Florence, Pisa, the train to go to Cinque Terra and explore the local area, The location was fantastic. The countryside is just so beautiful. We would highly recommend the villa as a memorable place to enjoy Tuscany. Thank you again to our hosts for offering your beautiful villa.

Tuscany
We loved our villa stay. Beautiful views, lovely pool. We would only wish for air conditioning. They provided fans but it was very hot in the late afternoons and nights. The 4km drive up the mountain was daunting every time, as it is a one lane riad with 2way traffic and lots of blind curves. Be warned! The owners were very helpful and readily available to answer questions, etc. Enzo even took me grocery shopping and gave me helpful hints. We had a fabulous dinner at the restaurant a5 min. walk up the road. Don’t miss Erasmus Restaurant nearby but you must make reservations! Thanks to all who made our stay magical!

The House in the Tuscan Hills
We were a group of 5 sisters who experienced a delightful week staying in Casa Dell’Acqua, a charming home in Lucca, Italy. The home was very comfortable. It exuded all the charm one might imagine when thinking about Tuscany. At night we could see the lights of the city below, a truly beautiful sight. During the day the scent of lavender, mint, herbs and a variety of different plantings filled the air. The drive up the hill was not as scary as we thought it might be. Once we got use to it and followed some of the other drivers’ methods of alerting their presence…beeping the horn prior to rounding the curve, we became very confident with the road. Mr. Enzo was very helpful acquainting us with the property. The walled city of Lucca was easy to get to as well as the markets and other Tuscan sights! We are home now with our photos and memories to remind us that this glorious vacation did in fact happen!

Wunderschönes Haus
Wir hatten eine gute Zeit in dem Haus. Das Wetter war insgesamt verregnet, weshalb wir viele Ausflüge in Museen unternommen haben, an den wenigen sonnigen Tagen haben wir aber das wunderschöne Außengelände mit tollen Pflanzen und Terrassen über den Weinhängen sehr genossen und uns gut erholt gefühlt. Das Haus ist insgesamt sehr großzügig und geräumig und bietet Platz für 8 Erwachsene. Die Gastgeber waren sehr nett und die Kommunikation angenehm und unkompliziert. Vielen Dank! Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt.

Magnifique maison, magnifique séjour !
Les photos, pour moi, ne rendent pas justice au charme de cette très belle maison de famille. Avec en plus une très jolie vue de la vallée et un superbe jardin odorant et fleuri dont nous avons bien profité. Les hôtes qui n’habitent pas loin sont très gentils, présents sans être envahissants et avec de délicates attentions. Merci pour ce séjour à la fois reposant (à la maison) et enrichissant (la région).

Sehr schönes Haus und liebe Eigentümer
Wir hatten zwei sehr schöne Wochen im Haus. Enzo war für uns immer ansprechbar. Zu empfehlen ist die Trattoria La Tosca in der Nähe mit sehr guter lokaler Küche, unschlagbaren Preisen und einem sehr netten Chef. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen waren die Hunde in der Nachbaeschaft, die ausgiebig in der Nacht bellten. Der Garten ist wunderbar mit Feigen und Trauben und viele Ölbäumen.
