About this property

La Merlaia, private pool villa. Walk to restaurant

Spacious house with characteristic décor and private pool only 3.5 km from Lucca, Tuscany. Walking distance to restaurant and supermarket. WIFI.

Here you will find the very sought-after combination of a detached house with its private pool, surrounded by a fenced parklike garden and walking distance to a couple of restaurants and a supermarket. The city of Lucca is only 3.5 km from the house. The road where the house is situated rises among the hills towards Pieve Santo Stefano, where you can visit one of the vineyards or buy olive oil produced in the area. The area is also suitable for hiking tours overlooking vineyards, olive groves and cypresses in typical Tuscan countryside.

Surrounded by lush nature, the house is secluded in a corner of the park close to the entrance. Just in front, there is a wonderful terrace covered with wisteria. Here below you can eat your meals and enjoy the scents and colors. On the other side of the house, more in the shade, there is another outdoor area with table and chairs.

A bit away from the house, in the middle of the child-friendly park and in front of the ancient manor house, where the helpful owner lives, there is a 5 x 10 mt swimming pool with a varying depth from 1.50 mt to 2.30 mt. Around the pool there are sun loungers and parasols. The pool private and is not shared with the owner. Children in or around the pool must be under adult supervision at all times.

The house is very spacious and is divided into two floors. It consists of:
Entrance from the terrace into a large open space room divided into living room with sofa bed, tv and fireplace and a dining room with long table. A toilet. A large kitchen which is bright and well-equipped (oven, gas stove, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, micro, toaster, kettle, washing machine). Here you can cook your meals together, using delicious Tuscan ingredients. The nearest supermarket has many local products like for example homemade pasta but also very fresh vegetables.

On the first floor there is a bedroom with a double bed, a twin bedroom, a bathroom, a passage room with a stylish single bed, another double bedroom with attached bathroom.
Very special and personal decor with attention to details, a nice mix of modern and ancient Tuscan style. It feels more a real home than a rental home. The owner asks guests not to smoke indoors.
Ironing equipment, internet wifi.

Lovely setting. Most relaxing
Family group. Very relaxed time. An old house which needs some better lights, but full of character!

Dejligt hus og flink værtinde.
Dejligt stort hus, fuldt ekviperet og skøn privat pool. Værtinden meget hjælpsom og imødekommende, hun taler glimrende engelsk, så ingen misforståelser . Desværre en del myg i haven, pga den frodige beplantning, som måske skulle studses lidt, så det ville være lettere at komme omkring og få plads til, at parkere bilen ok. Ellers har vi haft en dejlig ferie og nydt det skønne hus, pool og egnen.

Hyggelig indrettet hus tæt på Lucca
Hyggeligt personligt indrettet hus med dejlig pool. Meget venlig udlejer, som svarede på mine henvendelser med det samme og som bød på vin/vand ved ankomst. Alle køkkenfaciliteter til rådighed, så gode muligheder for at lave mad. Dejligt huset lå så tæt på Lucca, en hyggelig by med mange spisesteder og små butikker. Der er en tæt bevoksning omkring spise arealerne ude hvilket, om sommeren gør, at der er rigtig mange myg. Det vil være et stort plus, hvis der kom myggenet i alle vinduer og bevoksningen blev klippet lidt til.

Der Pool ist ein absoluter Traum!
Die Unterkunft ist wirklich ein Traum! Wir waren mit zwei Kleinkinder dort (beide 2 Jahre alt) und es gab sogar zwei neue Reisebetten in den Schlafzimmer, sowie einen Hochstuhl, was wirklich perfekt war. Generell war das Haus wirklich mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Zwischem dem Haus und dem Pool ist eine riesige Wiese, auf der die Kinder toll spielen konnten und der Pool ist ein absoluter Traum! Wir haben den Urlaub absolut genossen und werden auf alle Fälle wiederkommen. Hausbesitzer, ist super lieb, war immer erreichbar und hat uns sogar selbstgemachtes Eis vorbeigebracht! Es gab wirklich nichts zu bemängeln, wir können das Haus absolut empfehlen! Vielen dank für den tollen Urlaub. Katha

Skønt sted
Afstanden til Lucca by er lidt længere end oplyst og kræver bil. Går man tager det lidt over en time og man går på vej hvor bilerne suser forbi. Stedet er smukt - man bor dog ikke i det gule hus, som er vist på billederne, men i et mindre hvidt hus, som ikke ligger lige ud til poolen. Ejerne af stedet bor der og er i det store gule hus. Ejerne og deres gæster bruger også den portindgang som vi skulle bruge, selvom andet blev oplyst. Det gjorde dog ikke det store for os. Huset man bor i er gammelt og æstetisk smukt, men havde en lugt at være lidt gammelt. Vi savnede nogle behagelige møbler at kunne sidde i ude foran det hus man boede i. Og vi savnede en grill (og udendørs pizzaovn). Der er ingen Air condition i huset. Vi fik udleverede fans da vi spurgte efter dem. Vi havde nogle meget varme nætter trods fan. Der ligger gode restauranter i nærheden/få kilometer derfra.
