- About The Experience
-
Dramatically situated high on a hillside, this restored farmhouse boasts panoramic views of the countryside from its patios and pool. The walled city of Lucca is a 15 minute drive down the hill, while beaches, Pisa, and Florence are all good day trips. The farmhouse has been meticulously restored with modern accents such as a private pool and spacious kitchen, but it maintains its original stone walls and walkways, wood beamed ceilings, and tile floors. The spacious interiors are well–suited for a large family or group of friends.
- Location Description
-
This beautifully furnished farmhouse is located in the scenic hills that divide Lucca from the Versilian coast. It is a tranquil location. The closest village of San Martino in Freddana offers shops, a post office, a doctor’s office, and dining. A short drive away, the Renaissance-era stone walls of the picturesque city of Lucca encompass the 14th century Duomo di San Martino, a Roman amphitheater, and a wealth of late gothic architecture. The Versilian coast (the “Versilian Riviera”) offer miles of popular sandy beaches and resorts.

Overall:
Very rustic and pleasant.
Enjoyed Most:
Overall setting and Tuscan flavor.
Enjoyed Least:
Humidity in rooms.
Surrounding Area:
Access to many major Tuscany attractions.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Village San Martino, town of Lucca--neither within walking distance.
Tips or Restaurants:
Osteria Da Divo in Siena (great food and ambience in a cave) and Vernazza in Cinque Terre (beautiful views and an excellent restaurant at the top of the rock).
Directions:
GPS did not work at Casa Felicita' but did when getting near main road ... the specific directions provided in written form were perfect. Driving the access road will require sounding horn on 180 degree turns and past a farm house.
