La Lucertola is a wonderful place!! The view is amazing. The house is very cozy, comfortable and well equipped. Luisa and Colin are very kind and helpful. The location is great, very close to Pisa, Lucca and the sea. It was a great experience. We recommend this place very much!
Once we got to the top of the road and we got out of the car we were presented with the most spectacular view of Pisa and beyond. The iconic Learning Tower and Cathedral could clearly be seen on the horizon, acting as a rubber stamp that we had arrived at somewhere special. Our villa – 1 of 2 - was set in several acres of olive groves with a swimming pool, which was essential. The villa was well equipped with all the facilities we needed, washing machine, BBQ, outside table and chairs and a balcony to once again admire the view. Colin and Louisa – the owners – are an incredible couple and were always available to advise on what to do and where to go. The 2 home chef nights went down a storm, the 2nd ending in a sing-a-long in Colin’s recording studio. We spent 2 weeks here and traveled around Tuscany, Pisa, Lucca, Florence and it flew by. We really enjoyed every minute, the Villa and Colin and Luisa played a big part in achieving this and of course the Wine helped.
The place is just beautiful and our children loved the pool area. We loved the view of the area and calmness of the place. It is a fantastic location if you are planning to visit Pisa and/or Lucca. We had a great time! Thank you.
This was only our second villa stay, the first being the week previous in Provence, and despite our noviceness we were glad we chose this property as it lived up to all our expectations. We arrived late afternoon, and having read past reviews we were expecting the challenging driveway; it is a challenge but proved no problem for us whatsoever, you just need to go steady. On arrival we were greeted by Becky, Luisa's cousin as they were on holiday, and she gave us a guided tour. This villa is in a stunning location, near to the sea, Pisa, Lucca and Florence (a bit further away) so if you want to do stuff there is loads to see and do. If you want a quiet relaxing holiday go to the supermarket and get the weeks provisions in and you could stay there all week and do nothing. The views are spectacular to say the least, and having cooked a meal on the wood fired barbeque you can sit back and watch the sun wane whilst looking down over the leaning tower of Pisa, interspersed with the occasional ring of the local bells in the village. Perfect.
The views were stunning – you can even see the leaning tower of Pisa. The pool was very refreshing. The restaurant at home meal cooked up at the villa was fabulous too. Probably one of my top two or three meals of the trip. And for sure my top wine of the trip too. The rose was spot on. Great location to get to Lucca or Pisa or the beaches. But also a great location to take a break from your vacation and just hang by the pool and read and relax. Such a picturesque location and great accommodation. See you next time!
The views are fantastic, the swimming pool is very nice, we enjoyed making our own pizzas with the pizza oven. There is a big hill to get up but we managed to get up in an 8 seater van and it's well worth it for the views. The garden flowers are really nice and the house is spacious, we spent most of our time outside the house as they have an outdoor canopy with dining table and chairs and sunchairs. I highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Tuscany as you get a different experience to just staying in a city. Hire car is essential.
