About this property
Charming country house on the hills north of Lucca with stunning view
This beautiful1700 ancient farmhouse, converted in 2020 into a charming country villa, is really an unique way to experience an unforgettable vacation in Tuscany. It is located at walking distance from a medieval hamlet, on the hillside 10 Kms north of Lucca, in a green and panoramic area. The covered Patio, the magic pool and all the terraced garden allow our guests to enjoy the immaculate landscape while completely relaxing. Not last a perfect retreat to use as a base to Tuscany, still enjoying the life of a true Tuscan mansion
GROUND FLOOR The ground floor opens onto a huge living room with fireplace, tv, sofas, with table and chairs. From the living room there is access to four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (one en-suite), all equipped with modern facilities.
CENTRAL FLOOR From a covered patio, ideal for 'al fresco' lunch and dinner, there is access to a salon with sofas, tv, fireplace and to the dining room. A door opens into the typical Tuscan and full equipped kitchen. There is a guest bathroom in this floor
FIRST FLOOR On the first floor there is a master bedroom with a bathroom en-suite
OUTSIDE Great views on the sloping hills, the ancient churches and the amazing village nearby makes the outside area and the great garden a very special and relaxing place for an holiday. In different corners of the garden there are deckchairs to enjoy the peace and beauty of this magic place.
A wonderful infinity swimming pool, with gazebo and sofas, is located in an upper position and dominates the entire property and the valley below. There is a dressing room and bathroom close to the pool.
Just out of the door there are some wonderful walks and opportunities for tours and trekking through the old medioeval narrow stone-paved streets of the village, really experiencing the true flavour of a tiny X century Tuscan hamlet.

Just Wow! This house was more than we could have hoped for and more. We were first time travelers to Italy, a family of 6 with kids that ranged from 5 years to 13. It was the perfect set-up for our family. Monica and Dario were amazing and answered any and all questions we had. They also helped organize someone to come into the home to cook us dinner. Isa was amazing and it was a highlight of our entire trip! We still have dreams of the view and sitting outside eating dinner every night. The location was perfect, up far enough to have the view, but not too far that the drive was challenging. It was the perfect home base for us. We did rent a car, which I am glad we did because we had the flexibility to explore the area. This house and the stay there will always have a special place in our hearts and hope to be back soon!

It was really a pleasure to host such a special family in our house, and to share with you some of the beauties of our region. Hope to meet you again one day! Have a nice life!
We had an amazing stay in 'La Crocetta' ! The property is even more beautiful than in photos, the pool was amazing, and the sunset views were unbeatable. We had six adults and two children stay very comfortably in the home. It is also centrally located, an easy drive to Florence, Luca, the Italian Seaside at Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, as well as Pisa. We loved our stay and hope to go back again soon!
Wonderful time, Villa was perfect for our group that spanned 8-78 years old. Pool was perfect. Monica and Dario were welcoming and helpful. Sad to leave!
Our stay at this Lucca hills country house in late May/early June was magnificent! Dario was an outstanding host and Monica the house manager was incredible. They were very helpful and replied promptly to any questions. We loved this part of Tuscany and will definitely be back. Grazie mille Dario and Monica!

Grazie Bev for your kind words! Hope to meet you one day again. All the Best! Dario
We were so excited for our stay. The pictures on the listing were gorgeous and somehow the home and views are even more breathtaking in person. I cannot recommend this home highly enough. The caretaker Monica was so kind, gracious and is an incredible cook! We cannot wait to return soon.
It is hard to describe how incredible this stay was. We stayed as a family of six adults, and the home was a great space to be together while allowing each person to have their own space. Location-wise, you are at the base of the quintessential Tuscan hamlet, San Gennaro, and then close (5 min drive) to Collodi, a bit larger and hidden mountain village. The views from the home are unbeatable as well. Dario (owner) and Monica (property manager) were two of the best hosts we have ever encountered. If you are debating whether or not to stay here, consider the decision made.

We are very happy to hear how nice your holiday was. You have been very special guests, a lovely family, very kind and respectful towards our property. We really hope to meet you one day again!
House was super clean and comfortable. Assistant Monica was incredibly helpful and kind and spoke some English. She not only gave great information but dropped off a cake for my daughters birthday. The home had all the conveniences of home along with much more. This was super conveniently located and close to Lucca and Pisa. An hour away from a few more line Florence and CinqueTerra and more. Comfortable for ten. Great little restaurant close as well. We really enjoyed our stay. Cheers
We will be back.

We are very happy to hear that you spent a nice holiday in our property. Hope to meet you one day again! Best wishes. Dario
Our family of six (five adults and a baby) just returned from a truly unforgettable 7-night stay at this extraordinary country house north of Lucca. The views are simply breathtaking...rolling hills, ancient churches, and a medieval hamlet stretch as far as the eye can see, and no photo can capture the magic of sitting by the infinity pool at sunset.The house is a beautifully restored 1700s farmhouse that blends authentic Tuscan charm with modern luxury. Every corner is immaculate and thoughtfully designed. The living spaces are spacious and inviting, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the bedrooms are elegant, comfortable, and serene. Staying here feels like inhabiting a true Tuscan mansion.Our hosts, Dario and Monica, were beyond welcoming. Their warmth, attentiveness, and helpful guidance made everything effortless and enhanced every aspect of our stay.From al fresco meals on the patio to peaceful strolls through the nearby medieval village, every moment felt magical. This property is the ultimate Tuscan retreat, perfectly combining beauty, comfort, and authenticity. We cannot recommend it highly enough and are already dreaming of our next visit.

We are vere happy to hear that you have spent such a nice holiday in our house and hope you meet you again
Een fantastisch huis op een prachtige locatie. We werden heel fijn welkom geheten en na een korte rondleiding was duidelijk dat we ons hier prima konden vermaken. De woning was brandschoon en zeer compleet. Naast voldoende slaapkamers en sanitair is bijvoorbeeld ook de keuken voorzien van alles dat je nodig hebt. De tuin is aangelegd in meerdere verdiepingen met een prachtig uitzicht op het dal en omringende heuvels/bergen. Het bijbehorende zwembad ligt op zo’n verdieping.Parkeergelegenheid is er meer dan genoeg.Supermarkten en eetgelegenheden in de nabije omgeving.Niet alleen de woning en de tuin hebben bijgedragen aan de positieve ervaring. Ook de property managers hebben dit. Zeer vriendelijke mensen waarmee heel goed gecommuniceerd kan worden in het Engels. Ze hebben dagelijks voor ons klaargestaan.

Thank you kind words. We are very happy to hear that you and your beautiful family have spent a nice holiday in our house and in our region. And let’s hope to meet one day again
My family (we were 9) had the most amazing time at this gorgeous property. The place is very special and you truly experience the magic of Tuscany. In addition of the beautiful Villa, Monica, who manages the property is a jewel, always attentive to our every need. Grazie cara Monica. And Dario is just someone you want to keep as a friend forever! I can't
thank you both enough. The only bad experience was having to leave! A pronto!!

Grazie Perla for your kind words. Monica and I have been really honored to have met some special people as you and your lovely family are! A presto! Dario
Die Villa ist wunderschön inmitten eines Olivenhains gelegen mit Weitsicht bis nach Lucca. Das Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt, mit einem grossen Garten und einem schönen Pool, und das Haus ist hochwertig und modern ausgerüstet. Dario und Monica waren sehr hilfsbereit und haben uns mit guten Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflüge versorgt.
Wir können die Villa vorbehaltslos weiter empfehlen.
