Traditional Italian family living meets modern luxury in this beautiful cottage. Filled with antiques and dark wood furnishings giving a nod to old-world influence, there's something very wholesome about this home. We think you'll love immersing yourself in Italian culture here. Wake up to bedroom views of the golden skies dancing above the Italian landscape. Cook up a big meal and serve it at the outside table while the family scrambles to get theirs first. Stay out late relaxing on the terrace with a glass of Chianti and chat the night away while the vibrant colours of the garden fade into the darkness. The garden area will be the hub of your trip, that's for sure. We recommend hiring a car here as there's plenty to do and see within a short drive. The historic town of Lucca with its colourful buildings and ancient monuments is only twenty-six-minutes away, and the lovable Pisa with its must-see leaning tower is a thirty-eight-minute drive. No matter where you choose to go, you'll find vibrant Italian culture to soak up (and so much good food). The home itself is located in the village of Sant’Andrea di Compito – a place known for its stunning... Camellia trees dating back to the 1800s. We recommend wandering its streets and taking in the medieval charm.
