About this property

Podere Alte, private pool countryhouse, view, WiFi

Characteristic, Tuscan country house divided into three apartments, located among the hills north of Lucca. Stunning views, large patio and private swimmingpool. Perfect for a family vacation. WIFI.

Here and there you see small stone houses and stately cypresses lining the roads. Just as you imagine when you close your eyes and think about Tuscany. Here you can relax in the peaceful countryside, but you are still not far from Lucca and in a central position to visit the sea or the rest of Tuscany.

The property consists of two buildings facing south which have been restored and converted into four separate apartments. Three of them are Podere Alte and the fourth is used by the hospitable owners.In front of the buildings there is a private garden with flat grass areas and furnished outdoor area with possibility to barbecue.Perfect for fresco meals all together enjoying the fantastic view.

The swimming pool (12 x 6 meter with a depth of 1.40) is located just below the property in a beautiful position overlooking the valley. The pool is completely private since the owners don't use it. Around the pool there are sun loungers. Children in or around the pool must be under adult supervision at all times.

I can only recommend this property
This place was absolutely ideal for our family group of 8 adults and 5 kids (aged 7-16). The three spacious apartments provided ample space and privacy for each family and couple, while large common areas and stunning garden allowed us to enjoy dinners and time together. The garden is breathtakingly beautiful and well maintained. We enjoyed the gorgeous views to the valley, scent of flowers, singing of birds, fresh breeze and ripe cherries from the tree by the pool. The kids had endless fun at the pool and discovering fireflies and the frog living in the fountain near entrance. Parking space fitted 4 cars without issues and the location was ideal for day trips to the surrounding cities, villages and beaches. Our stay exceeded our (already high) expectations in every way. Special mention to Silvia, the owner who was extremely lovely, helpful and kind. I can only recommend this property and would love to stay here again with either familyfriends.

Ik zou zo weer teruggaan.
Mei 2024, 8 volwassenen, 5 kinderen. Zeer mooie dubbele woning met buitenruimte, je moet even een stuk de berg op maar wat ons betreft is het de reis meer dan waard. Centraal gelegen tov Lucca, Florence, Pisa en de kust. Een heel bijzonder mooi uitzicht oneindig ver. Zeer aardige eigenaresse en goede host.

Fantastisk
Fantastisk, vi har alle nydt uge 29, 2022. Da temperaturen i hele ugen lå mellem 33 og 38 grader, har vi ikke benyttet ferieboligen ret meget, men i stedet den fantastiske pool. Skøn beliggenhed og dejlig udsigt. Kokken Sabrina arrangerede en fantastisk aften med super lækker mad. Vil bestemt ikke afvise et genbesøg :-) Alt i alt en ubeskrivelig uge :-) Anna

Vi hade en underbar vecka
Vi hade en underbar vecka i Podere alte. Huset passade oss som är en stor familj. Från huset hade vi en fantastisk utsikt över Luccafalen. Allt har fungerat bra med bokning och kontakt med Danitalia. Värdinnan på plats var också väldigt trevlig och tillmötesgående. Eva

Auftanken vor herrlicher Kulisse
Als größere Freundesgruppe haben wir nach einem schönen, abgeschiedenen Ort gesucht, an dem wir uns vom Alltag erholen können. Das Haus hat diese Erwartungen übertroffen. Es ist sauber, das Gelände ist groß und die Umgebung wunderschön. Besonders haben wir die Aussicht ins Tal in der Nacht genossen. Die Abwicklung und Organisation war sehr unkompliziert. Vielen Dank an unsere Gastgeber!

Amazing apartments and pool just a few details could further improve
We had a lovely family stay: the views over Lucca, the birds on the wooded hillsides behind, the extraordinary secluded stone pool with steps down for kids, and the picture-postcard drive through Matraia and down to the excellent Esselunga supermarket are hard to beat. We also recommend getting Tamara from Lucca Cooking Classes over for a cooking class in your kitchen, and a meal for all (as well as Le Colonne in the village) The house in furnished in an old family style and our only suggestions would be for clearer written instructions (the owner is responsive but lives in Lucca), more glasses and silverware and a clearer checkout process.
