The self-contained apartment is set within the converted ground floor of our 400 year old olive farm. The opportunity to enjoy a lovely rural retreat with aspects of woodland, olive grove or for the artist in you (easel available) vistas of other hillside villages. A very popular area for cyclists yet within 15-25 minutes walk to the local hilltop village and also 3 wonderful local restaurants/bars. The farm is accessed by electric gates (a key fob provided following check-in) to offer more secure parking. Being situated in the hills we do have steps down from the parking area and on down to the apartment so we appreciate this may not be suitable for everyone. We are of course happy to help with luggage or shopping when we are on site. Touring through Italy? We are situated around 40 minutes by car from Lucca an hour from Pisa, Florence, the coast at Viareggio and for skiing in Abetone about 80 scenic minutes. The local town of Pescia is around 20 minutes by car, limited bus service is also available, and gives access to the train for links all over Italy. Pescia has two weekly markets and a great host of bars, coffee shops, restaurants and gelaterias. Our guests enjoy the use of their own private sun terrace with loungers. They are also more than welcome to walk within the olive groves and when in season to take advantage of any available fresh fruits and herbs within the gardens.
