Farmhouse Villa outside the walls of Lucca

If you are looking for a comfortable home base from which to explore the timeless beauty of Tuscany, look no further! We offer spacious accommodations in the beautiful Italian countryside community of Gattaiola, surrounded by vineyards and just minutes from the medieval walled city of Lucca. This year while staying at the villa, we had day trips to Carrara, Sestri Levante, Cortona, Orvieto, Assisi, Deruta, and Cinque Terre and Florence and Pisa. The villa is centrally located providing ease of travel by bus, car or train.

Originally an active farm, this rustic, three-story villa on approximately 12 hillside acres is furnished with Italian antiques and features a country kitchen (complete with original brick-fire oven) as well as six bedrooms, a dining/living area and two recently remodeled bathrooms. Simple in style and design, the farm villa can easily accommodate groups of up to 10 guests, with plenty of parking and spacious grounds for outdoor activities.

Centrally located in the heart of Tuscany. the villa offers convenient travel access to popular destinations such as Florence, Pisa, The Cinque Terre and the coastal resort of Viareggio.

For winter travelers, the Italian ski chalets of Abetone are within roughly an hour's drive. Other convenient activities include biking through the hills to Pisa, hiking in the Alpuan Alps, and sightseeing in Lucca and its outlying villages.

Bicycle groups, motorcycle groups, running groups, church groups, families, couples with children would thoroughly enjoy the spacious countryside and 3 story house.

Those fully vaccinated are welcome!

Ein Haus mit Charme und guter Ausstattung

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt in dem charmanten Haus, das eine gute, ruhige Lage hat. Es ist nicht weit zu Stränden bei Viareggio, nach Pisa und natürlich nach Lucca. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet und die Zimmer sind liebevoll mit schönen antiken Möbeln eingerichtet. Mit 8 Personen hatten wir ausreichend Platz.

A fabulous home away from home...

Located on a hill in Gattaiola, this classic and comfortable Italian "home away from home" was perfectly located for my taste, far enough away from the traffic noise of nearby Lucca but close enough to the town center to be sure not to miss out on the many events going on there each day. We were a group of friends, 3 couples, who happily met up for a few weeks to explore this region. This villa has many sizable bedrooms, each sporting large windows that look out onto the countryside. The high ceilings, with timber beams, expanded the space dramatically. The antique furniture throughout is beautiful and authentic. The beds are large comfy. The bathrooms are modern. Very classy! Additionally, our host went to great lengths to assemble an informative binder of the many distinctly different and wonderful day trips visitors can take in the surrounding areas. This was extremely useful / helpful, providing more information than I would have discovered online. I am forever grateful for her effort. Though we often ate out at fantastic local restaurants, it was especially nice to be able to cook and feast, around the large family table, in the kitchen with our friends after a full day in the countryside. We had a wonderful 2+ weeks! I highly recommend booking this villa for an extended stay in Italy.

Wonderful stay in Lucca countryside!

Gattaiola was an absolutely magical place for our stay in the Lucca countryside. The house was warm, inviting, spacious, and cozy. Walks in the countryside were very therapeutic. The large kitchen was perfect for our extended family to gather after a long day touring, to chat, cook, and enjoy each other's company. Only 10 minutes from grocery stores and restaurants in Lucca, where we spent an enjoyable 2 days looking around. Easy drive to other destinations in or near Tuscany--we went to Florence, Pisa, Siena, and Cinque Terre from this house as our base of operations. It was difficult to leave, and we want to go back on holiday to this wonderful farmhouse!

Best Family Vacation Ever!

We are home about a week now and I want to write and tell you a bit about our trip to Italy, including our stay in this marvelous farmhouse villa. It was WONDERFUL. We had a few days in NYC, a few days in Venice, and a day on each end for travel, which was lovely all-in-all. But the two weeks in Lucca were just lovely, and beyond our dreams. We jumped right in and felt right at home. We ate at the Osteria di Meati three times I think. I am a vegetarian and immediately fell in love with Mistra di farro…could not get enough! We found a great place to park outside the wall of Lucca, which gave us a quick entrance to the city and gave us a chance to get acquainted with the train station which we used a few times (once to Florence and once to Siena). We were 10 people for a few days, but mostly had 5 in residence at the villa. The location worked out well for the areas we had planned to visit and for the red Fiat we had rented. I had stayed in Florence on a previous trip, but could not believe how crowed it was this time. San Gimignano was very crowded also. Lucca was just perfect! I love the size and pace of the city, and will love to return some day. We noticed how green the countryside was of course, coming from drought-ridden SoCal. And, we loved how fresh the food was. Seven of us went to Chef Paolo Monti's Cooking School for one class, and it was fabulous, and a real high point of the trip. My son is a pretty serious cyclist and brought his bicycle. He was able to do (4) 40+mile rides, including one over the hill to Pisa. He was in heaven! His son loved the flora and fauna of the villa…found slugs, and insects of every conceivable make and model, and practiced his catch-and-release policy. It was a great family trip and I thank you so much for making your Italian home available to us. It was a dream! So, thanks again for everything! It was lovely being there and sooooo tough to leave.

Fantastic Italian Get Away!

We could not have been more pleased. We arrived at this impeccably clean country villa with all the local charm one would seek in Italy. This country villa offers the best of country living close to the charming city of Lucca, less than an hours drive to Florence. The owners and caretaker were kind and helpful. The home is suitable for a large family or smaller unit with two floors, a bathroom on each floor. Thank you for the perfect blend of relax and rejuvenation.

Great location!

Oh what a great 16 days we had. This place was perfect. It has a nice kitchen and a large table for holding the crowds. It has an outside second story deck which has an incredible view. We spent a few early evening just enjoying the sites from the deck. The location is very quiet, up on the hill. Only 5 minute drive to Lucca and the Auto Strada. Easy day trips to so many places, from Florence to Cinque Terra. We had no problem filling up 16 days, could have stayed longer. Coming home everyday to a nice place, fixing a great meal, just relaxing. Highly recommend this place, on my list to come back to.
