This farmhouse villa is an ideal base for exploring some gorgeous Tuscan cities and towns. Made up of a main house and a hayloft with its own living room and kitchen, there's plenty of space for a family or group of friends to stretch out. We think a couple of areas could do with a touch-up, especially in the hayloft, but the views over the Compitese hills from the private pool are lovely. You'll want a car for exploring, and there's no shortage of hot spots like Lucca, Pisa, and Florence nearby.

Home truths
There is space to park outside this home for free for up to two vehicles. Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to make the most of your stay.
Your host can provide a free cot and high chair here if you're travelling with little ones.
The swimming pool is open from 1st May to 15th October.
This home is spread over a main villa and a hayloft. The hayloft has a second living room and kitchen and a full bathroom, and all bedrooms are on the first and second floors of the main villa.
The fireplace in the main home is just for decoration, but the fireplace in the hayloft is functional.
We think some areas of this home could do with a refresh. In particular, the tiles in the hayloft bathroom look a little tired.
