Great Location and VIEW!
PROS- great location, wonderful views of valley and Pisa; definitely rustic Italian; comfortable beds and pillows; excellent appliances; great outdoor eating area and pool area; great spot to do day trips all around Lucca, coast and Florence; lovely greenery all around the property; our host did us a solid by doing a light grocery shop for us as we had been travelling for 22 hours straight! sweet little veggie garden you are allowed to share in and the town of Lucca is fabulous! CONS- the drive to the property can be a challenge - smaller car ok; NO AC for those killer summer heat ways- could definitely use a few more large fans; wishing the pool was better maintained during our stay; could use access to pool towels- none provided; wished the main front hedges were trimmed lower so you could have a view while eating outside. I miss Lucca and that view!

Wonderful adventure in Italy
I have stayed in Italy many times, but this was clearly my favorite experience. The accommodations are perfect and stocked with all the essentials. The owners were lovely on our first night when provided a wonderful meal as my wife had fallen earlier and broke her wrist and leg. We were tired and sad. They cheered us all up. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends. Make sure you take their recommendation on a 4 wheel vehicle. The hull is quite steep but worth the trip the view… amazing

This is an exceptionally wonderful property!
This is an exceptional property and we had the most fabulous holiday! The house is spacious, cool and airy and has the most wonderful views over the plain to Pisa and to the Mediterranean beyond - we even saw Corsica! I will never forget the hours spent looking out over the views from the terrace in front of the house and from the pool which is just fantastic! Thank you to Luisa and Colin - great hosts - on hand but never invasive - we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Luisa Riddiford

Host profile image
Colin and I live in a separate house on the property and love living here! We always try our absolute best to ensure that everything is as it should be for you when you arrive and indeed during your holiday. We are always respectful of your privacy and we want all our guests of all ages to feel free, happy and relaxed. It isn't easy to write about yourself, so here are a few comments from previous guests: 'Luisa and Colin are the perfect hosts and I would like to thank them for allowing us to spend a little time sharing their little piece of Tuscan heaven.' 'The owners live on site and provide a friendly information facility and comprehensive support.' 'Thanks to Luisa and Colin for their hospitality. 'The hospitality and friendliness of the hosts was superb...wee things like this can make a holiday. Always there if needed but never intrusive.'

Luisa taught English in a school near Pisa in 1986 and fell in love with the area. We returned, many times. We made lifelong friends and began to feel that this could be a new home and a new life. After 12 years of living and working in London, we decided to take the plunge, change direction and embrace the challenge of creating a new life. We wanted to be closer to nature, direct our own affairs and to live in a beautiful place with a decent climate.

Why they chose this property

We found 'La Lucertola' as a semi ruin, completely overgrown and crying out for some love and attention. We first fell in love with the incredible view and the prospect of living in the country but close to Pisa and the sea. We found it - this is a fantastic location.

This place gives us inspiration and the energy to live a good and authentic life. We are happy to share this beauty and joy with our guests who over 20 years of operation wholeheartedly testify to the magic of this very special location. The houses are spacious, comfortable and well proportioned. One would happily live in them all year round - they are much more than a simple rental property - they are proper houses with a true sense of home.

What makes this property unique

The view is unique, breathtaking and truly inspiring. We can see The Leaning Tower, the Mediterranean coast and the islands of Capraia and Corsica. We overlook olive grove, forest, field and village. Overhead are birds of prey and the night sounds of owls.
