About this property

Lovely Tuscan Farmhouse. Newly Restored. Private Garden. Great View on Lucca!

This lovely farmhouse - on an ancient estate - is ideally situated in the verdant hills of Torre, between Lucca (4 miles) and the coast (with the sandy beaches of Versilia, Forte dei Marmi's shops and nightlife, and Pietrasanta's art galleries). It has been restored with integrity: antique terracotta tiled floors, wooden beamed ceilings and is well furnished in a country style. On the ground floor, there is a large entrance lounge, a spacious kitchen with modern conveniences, a pantry, and a bathroom with shower. Old terracotta stairs lead up to the first floor with 2 double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom, and an elegant bathroom. Private garden with panoramic views of Lucca and the hills (guests here can simply sit back, relax and enjoy the view), garden chairs and table, umbrella, beach chairs, pergola of Isabella grapes, parking. Free WIFI. Fabulous position for walking and cycling. Trips to Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano, Chianti, Siena, Cinque Terre, Portofino. Lucca – the nearest city – really is one of Tuscany's best-kept secret. Within its majestic walls, its Roman and medieval heart is a medley of piazzas, tiny churches, art galleries and cobbled lanes; a place, in the words of Henry James, 'overflowing with everything that makes for ease, for plenty, for beauty, for interest and good example'. (The farmhouse is not suitable for disabled or reduced mobility people.) Private Tuscan cooking class and wine tasting on request.

Excellent stay
We stayed on the house for a week with the family and had a wonderful time. The house is in a quiet location and an excellent base to visit Lucca, Florence, the beach and go hiking. The old house has character and there is a nice garden (we woke up from the sound of a group of wild boars eating the hazelnuts at night!). Ilide is a very helpful and responsive host.

Quiet haven on the mountain.....
The owners of this property are charming and very helpful. They have maintained the house in a very rustic fashion but still with comfort. It is a wonderful spot to return to after a day in Lucca and all the surrounding villages. The views are wonderful and the silence is so relaxing . The gardens are lovely...would not hesitate to return

grandiose view, in the midst of olive groves
We spent wonderful days in Ilide's tastefully furnished Tuscan house. The location is wonderful as a starting point for day trips to the sea or other Tuscan cities. Ilide's tips on restaurants, horseback riding and fishing were also very helpful. Thank you for everything!

A beautifully presented property, with all modern conveniences yet true to its historic character and very tastefully furnished and decorated. Ilide was a most attentive and helpful host, providing suggestions for activities and places to visit that we would not have been aware of otherwise. We will definitely return.

Beautiful place
This is such a nice place to stay. Peaceful and rustic, a really authentic Tuscan house. Ilide and Antonio are such nice people and a great help to you. Even though it was cool and raining some it was still great. The garden is really beautiful. Lucca is really special town, and you are close to the Ligurian seaside as well. I recommend it to anyone. We can't wait to go back.

Wonderful Tuscan experience
We stayed a week in this wonderful property. It consists of an original medieval house, with a 'new' section remodeled 400 years ago. Staying here is as close as you can get to a time once forgotten, by the countryside, where the wine grows, nature abounds and locals become friends. Illide, the property owner, is very nice and attentive. Highly recommended for the romantic couple or family looking for a true Tuscan experience.

Idyllic
The house and location are both beautiful - one of the most beautiful places ive stayed. Also incredobly peaceful - the loudest noiise waa bird song. Its an old house and therefore you have to be comfortable about that - the wifi wasnt always strong and not all my adaptors fitted the plugs - you need adaptors with thin prongs not the thicker ones. But i would love to go again.

Highlight of My 3 Week Trip to Italy
My family spent 4 nights in this lovely, rustic, charming adorable mountain retreat a few miles outside of Lucca that turned out to be the gem of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed this warm home and our host couldn’t have been more accommodating without being meddlesome. The property is ideal to feel relaxed and immersed in Italian culture, and a scenic, easy drive into Lucca, which itself is amazing and very enjoyable. From Lucca, we completed several day trips. Each evening it felt wonderful to come home to our home away from away. I could’ve stayed there for another week or two and left the crowded cities, cramped hotels, over-priced resturant’s and played out touristy places for this lovely hideaway any day! A little difficult to locate (definitely need GPS on your phone or car) but great place and value! Recommend it whole heartedly.

Two weeks at Torre with my husband and friends.
The house, which I would consider more of a farmhouse than a "villa," is charming in a minimalist and tasteful way. The view from the front of the house, where there are chairs to sit and enjoy it, is beautiful and peaceful. And our hosts, Ilide and Antonio were the best! Always immediately responsive to any questions or concerns. We were all over 70 and found the steep steps. to the second floor a little problematic at first, although we adjusted. We were also a little disappointed in the remoteness of the location and the long, single lane, twisty road to get there. Lucca was fairly simple to get into, although taking day trips elsewhere meant having to ge through heavy Lucca traffic.

Country House
Upon arrival we were greeted by our lovely host Ilide who explained everything thoroughly to us regarding the property. The house is in an ideal location, with lovely views over the hillside and a short 15 minute drive from Lucca. I have given 4 stars for location only due to the small parking space at the property which is quite steep, this would have been fine for a smaller car (our car is quite large). I believe there was also some parking available in the adjacent olive grove. The property is very clean and extremely well equipped with plenty of storage in each of the bedrooms however, no hanging space. We were aware from previous reviews that the stairs were extremely steep which we found fine however, some people with mobility issues may find these difficult but as this is a very old house it is only to be expected. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the property.

Not suitable for guests, who prefer a comfort accommodation.
The positives: - the beautiful view - the experience of a traditional land Tuscany house - close to Lucca and beautiful beaches The negatives: - the most annoying thing was the reconstruction noise from the neighbour house, appearing from early hours (ca from 7:30) - during the night we were disturbed by woodworms noise - the ground floor of the house is wet, even in July (it improved after one week of open windows...on our leaving day) - both ground floor and first floor rooms are quite dark, which is not visible from house photos (the pics of the premises were made with lights on) - steep stairs to the first floor Summary: The house is not suitable for guests, who prefer a comfort accommodation during a Tuscany holiday. A quite bad "cost - benefit ratio", according to our experience from another house that we rented next week of our Tuscany stay. We required a discount for the inconveniences (reconstruction) and it was provided only in the amount of "costs for gas for heating" (despite we did not heat at all).

Lucca comic's 2024
Abbiamo soggiornato in questa casa per 5 giorni durante il Lucca Comic's. Abitazione molto bella e ben curata. La casa è dotata di tutti i confort tranne che il forno. C'è stato qualche problema con la wifi, ma la proprietaria, tra l'altro persona gentilissima e molto disponibile, non ci ha fatto pagare le spese del gas per compensare con l'accaduto. La posizione è leggermente isolata ma facilmente raggiungibile. Consigliata.

Charmante maison proche de la nature et de la ville
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette magnifique maison à la fois rustique et élégante parfaitement conforme à l'annonce et aux photos. Le contact avec la propriétaire était excellent. Les lits sont confortables ainsi que les rangements. Les moustiquaires de fenêtre permettent d'être tout à fait serein lorsqu'il fait chaud. La table de cuisine est très conviviale. Le calme, la vue sur les collines et le jardin très soigné sont parfaitement ressourçant pour des vacances. L'emplacement est parfait pour profiter à la fois des villes (Lucca, Pistoia, Pise et Florence à 1h de route), du parc naturel des Alpes Alpuanes ou de la mer... Si vous aimez la nature, l'élégance et la simplicité, nous vous recommandons cette maison et son cadre enchanteur, ce qui est de mon point de vue difficile à trouver sur le marché de la location...

Bella casa toscana immersa nel verde degli oliveti, in cima a una collina panoramica da cui si vede Lucca. L’interno è accogliente e curato, e fuori c’è uno splendido giardino dove è possibile godersi il soggiorno in piena tranquillità.

Ferienhaus bei Lucca
Im Sommer ist das Haus bestimmt sehr schön, aber im Herbst ist es sehr kühl und dunkel. Die Ausstattung ist sehr spartanisch, Teppiche auf dem Steinfussboden wären von Vorteil. Die Treppe ins Obergeschoss ist sehr schlecht, sehr unterschiedlich hohe und defekte Stufen. Wir nutzen ein Ferienhaus aber nur zum Schlafen und als Ausgangspunkt für unsere Touren, da ist das nicht ganz so schlimm.

Haus in der Toscana
Leider entspricht die Beschreibung in keiner Weise den Vorort angetroffenen Gegebenheiten. So steht in der Beschreibung "soeben mit größter Sorgfalt restauriert". Angetroffen haben wir nur eine mehr oder weniger erhaltene alte Bausubstanz. Das Haus ist muffig und feucht. Gleiches gilt für die "gute Einrichtung" im Landhausstil, die sehr abgewohnt und gebrechlich aussieht.Die "große Eingangshalle" hat maximal 16 qm,in welcher sich das Wohnzimmer befindet. Eine "geräumige Küche im Landhausstil mit allen modernen Annehmlichkeiten" : da der Esstisch und die Stühle in der Küche stehen bleibt nicht mehr viel Platz. Der Rest der Küche hat keine Arbeitsfläche. Die Annehmlichkeiten einer"modernen Küche" bestehen aus billiger Mikrowelle,Gasherd und Spülmaschine sowie Kühlschrank in der Speisekammer(auch gleichzeitig Toilette und Dusche). Eine Terracottatreppe führt in den 1. Stock. Diese Treppe ist lebensgefährlich. Die Stufen haben eine Höhe von ca. 30 cm. Die Treppe ist sehr schmal, dunkel und steil wie eine Hühnerleiter. Die Schlafzimmer sind ebenfalls sehr dunkel, feucht und muffig. Auch hier sind die Betten mehr als abgewohnt. Ausserdem sind keinerlei Kleiderschränke vorhanden. Das"elegante Badezimmer " befindet sich in einem desolaten Zustand. "Im privaten Garten entspannt die Aussicht genießen": da der Garten auch Parkplatz ist genieße ich die Aussicht auf meinen PKW. Es ist empfehlenswert diesen Parkplatz nur mit einem geländegängigen Fahrzeug zu befahren. Gartensitzmöbel, Sonnenschirm,Liegestühle, Grill sind in einem desolaten Zustand oder nicht vorhanden. Ein großes Lob noch an den Fotograf, der hier mit Weitwinkelobjektiv , Weichzeichner und Halogenbeleuchtung Meisterwerke der Fotografie geschaffen hat. Durch die Beschreibung und die Fotografien wurden wir mehr oder weniger in die Irre geführt und haben uns bei der Ansicht des Hauses sofort entschlossen dieses Haus nicht zu bewohnen.Nach deutschem Standard ist dieses Haus nicht vermietbar. Trotzdem wurde uns der volle Mietpreis abverlangt. Großzügiger Weise wurde verzichtet auf: 300 Euro Kaution, 120 Euro Bettwäsche, 90 Euro Endreinigung. Da wir garnicht erst eingezogen sind. In keiner Weise empfehlenswert. Nur für Abenteurer, die ins 16. Jahrhundert reisen möchten.
