These apartments in Tuscany are within a farmhouse and are available on a short stay basis as well. They lie just 15 minutes from Lucca and 20 minutes from the Versilian Coast, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside, where it is still possible to live in contact with nature immersed in the cultural, social and gastronomic traditions of this land.
One of the bonuses of these holiday rentals with pool near Lucca is the opportunity to taste traditional Lucchese dishes. The business, which is family run, produces honey, fruit and vegetables and extends over 12 hectares of land. Some of this is woodland, in which you can go for walks and in the autumn collect chestnuts and porcini mushrooms.
In a recent restoration, in keeping with the antique characteristics of the farm, three apartments have been created for guests and one for the owners. They live on the farm, as they have done for four generations. The guest apartments are Il Barbagianni, once the stables and hay barn; Il Gallo, where the farmhands used to live; and La Filanda where, until the early 1900s, silk was spun.
The guests at A Casa del Tosi (brought to you by knowital.com) experience a homely atmosphere and can spend their holidays in complete relaxation by the pool or walking or mountain biking, immersed in the open spaces this beautiful part of Tuscany has to offer.
