Serena, private pool & WiFi. Walk to restaurant.

A stone house in a very typical Tuscan setting. Small private pool.
Walking distance to a restaurant/bar/pizzeria 400 meters and a small grocery store 450 meters.

Serena seems like a detached house but it is built together with another house on one side. You have several Italian neighbors and can experience their everyday lives. The house is part of a "corte", which means a characteristic building form where the houses once were extended as the family grew.

The house is surrounded by a 800 m2 fully fenced garden with large grass areas. Here you will find the small private swimming pool. It has diameter of 5 mt. and a depth of 1.20 mt. and it is not sunken, making it suitable for children. Children in or around the pool must be under adult supervision at all times.

In the garden, you have nice views over the hills and next to the pool there is a furnished wooden gazebo, perfect for fresco meals.

Serena is located in the small village of San Ginese, among the hills dividing the provinces of Lucca and Pisa. An unexploited area where time seems to stand still, where you can experience small villages, where the locals sit on the bar and play cards and where you can find some apparently basic restaurants that serves delicious local food.

The house is divided into three floors. The style is rustic with wooden-beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. The decor is homelike and Tuscan.
Entrance from a small furnished veranda, living room with double sofa bed, fireplace and satellite tv, a bathroom with shower. From here a couple of steps lead down to a characteristic and colorful country kitchen (gas cooker, oven, fridge with freezer, microwave, toaster, American coffee machine, kettle, Espresso machine). From the kitchen there is access to the garden where there is a washing machine, a sink and a grill.

On the first floor there is a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower. A room with a double sofa bed suitable for children due to the low ceiling. From this floor a spiral staircase leads up to the attic with sloping roof and a double bed. From this room there is access to a small high railed balcony where you can enjoy the views over the surrounding landscape.
Internet wifi.

Excellent Experience
Daniela and Francesco warmly welcomed us into the charming house Francesco renovated a few years ago. The enclosed garden is lovely, the pool and gazebo very enjoyable, and the house is perfect. Excellent kitchen with gas stove, two very well appointed bedrooms plus one small one for kids, and two very nice bathrooms with showers. Attention is given to every detail. We loved our stay and plan to return for longer next year. Grazie Daniela and Francesco.

Séjour pas assez reposant
Maison bien situé proche des sites de visite. Bien équipé, très propre, typique italienne avec beaucoup de cachet. Et un petit plus bien agréable, la cheminée. Par contre la literie de la chambre parentale est très mauvaise. Et pour nous lors de notre séjour le plus gros problème fut le chien du voisinage qui aboie sans cesse des le matin très tôt voir même la première nuit, qui pour nous la première soirée a était la pire car au mois d’octobre les températures sont fraîches et le soir de notre arrivé le chauffage et l’eau chaude n’ont pas fonctionné donc pas de douche possible et nous avons eu très froid. Tout a était rétabli le lendemain vers 11h 😡. Aucun geste commercial des propriétaires au contraire suppléments pour le chien de 26 euros pour 4 nuits et 80 euros de chauffage pour 3 jours car sur 4 jours , 1 jour sans chauffage ni eau chaude. Pour accéder à la propriété il faut avoir un véhicule pas trop large ni trop long.

Leider nicht alles gut
Wir waren Mitte September in dem Feriendomizil. Leider konnten die Herrschaften beim Checkin kein Englisch und wir konnten uns kaum unterhalten. Auch das Wlan funktionierte nicht (man hat dort auch kein Handynetz), so dass man sich per Übersetzung hätte austauschen können. Am Wlan wurde dann die nächsten Tage gewerkelt bis es nach Tag 3 funktioniert hat. Des Weiteren ist der Kühlschrank schon sehr alt und schafft es kaum, einen vollen Kühlschrank zu kühlen. Bei uns hat es ebenfalls 3 Tage gedauert bis er eine gute Temperatur hinbekommen hat. Die Ausstattung war hervorragend. Es gibt alles was man braucht. Leider waren die Betten in keinem guten Zustand mehr. Wenn wir zu 2. im Ehebett geschlafen haben lagen wir fast auf dem Boden. Mein Mann ist dann auf die Couch ausgewischen, allerdings war diese Steinhart. Außerdem war das Haus für unseren Geschmack ein wenig zu dunkel. Die Zimmer waren trotz vorhandener Lampen nie wirklich erleuchtet. Zu guter Letzt muss man deutlich sagen, dass wir unseren Aufenthalt leider nicht genießen konnten, da zu viele Moskitos vor Ort waren. Wir hatten bereits an Tag 2 über 50 Stück (man wurde nicht nur in der Nacht gestochen) am ganzen Körper, so dass wir uns auch gezwungen sahen das Feriendomizil zu wechseln. Die Agentur hatte noch ihre Hilfe angeboten allerdings stand kein angemessenes Angebot zur Verfügung. Natürlich kann der Eigentümer für die Mosiktos nichts und es könnte auch an der Jahreszeit gelegen haben, aber man muss sich bewusst machen, dass auch Autan und die ganzen anderen Insektenabwehrmittel nicht geholfen haben. Im Haus selbst sind fast überall Mosiktonetze eingebaut. Leider nicht im Schlafzimmer, so dass wir auch immer mit geschlossenem Fenster schlafen mussten. Das war ebenfalls nicht sehr angenehm. Alles in allem gibt es einige Kritikpunkte bei dem der Eigentümer nachjustieren muss oder es getan hat (Wlan, Kühlschrank, Licht und Betten), wenn das alles passt muss man sich nur noch die Frage stellen, ob man zerstochen werden will oder nicht. Wenn es einem nichts ausmacht (dachte ich vorher auch) dann ist es eine schöne und ruhige Unterkunft mit viel Privatsphäre.

Sehr freundlich, alles gut organisiert. Auto erforderlich.
Sowohl der Kontakt mit der Agentur, als auch der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin vor Ort waren sehr freundlich und zur vollsten Zufriedenheit. Ein Auto ist notwendig um zum Supermarkt oder in Restaurants zu gelangen, allerdings keine weiten Strecken zum fahren Haus sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Hinweise: - es gibt keine Klimanlange. Bei hohen Temperaturen sehr warme Nächte. - sehr viele Stechmücken. Also viel Schutzmittel mitnehmen. Die Hinweise sind allerdings in keinster Weise negativ gewertet, da der Punkt mit der Klimaanlage vorher angegeben wurde und für die Stechmücken niemand etwas dafür kann ;-)

Una bella vacanza in toscana
Bella casa immersa nella campagna toscana con tutto il necessario x cucinare, spazi esterni e piscina molto piacevole. Proprietari gentillissimi, molto disponibili e Che ci hanno anche portate le uove fresche e la verdura del loro orto ❤️ adorabile. La casa è confortevole, una zanzariera nella prima camera e l aria condizionata al primo e secondo piano la renderebbe perfetta 😉. In torno alla piscina, attenti ai tafani Che sono attrati da l acqua della piscina. A parte un bar/pizzeria e un negozietto non c è niente in torno, dunque ci vuole assolutamente l auto, attenti di non avere un auto troppo larga xche I passaggi Tra le case x arrivare è abbastanza stretto. Ma almeno c è la guaranzia della tranquilita😉. Bella vacanza per noi
