This fairy tale cottage offers front row seats to a freshwater stream that runs directly from the Monte Pisano mountains. Inside, it’s a homespun delight with antique furnishings that have been in your host’s family for centuries. You’ll split your time between the cosy living space, reclining on the sofa with a glass of robust red, and the enchanting garden – plate up Tuscan favourites at the dining table or sip a coffee beside the trickling brook. We had a particular soft spot for the bedrooms – we loved the nature theme in combination with the original ceiling beams to create a fresh but warm atmosphere. The Walled City of Lucca is an eighteen-minute drive from your abode. Spend sunny afternoons exploring the Renaissance ramparts and the Cattedrale di San Martino. Or why not add leaning towers to your itinerary? Pisa is only a twenty-five-minute drive away.
