About this property
Casa Colle - pool, garden, village location, mountain views, English spoken
Apartment in a family home with independent entrance & hall, spacious living area with fully fitted kitchen, double sofa bed, large double bedroom and bathroom with shower. Traditional beamed & terracotta ceilings throughout. There is a 4X8m pool (shared with the owner) with beautiful mountain views and sun-bathing area. Outside the apartment there is a private garden, an ancient pizza oven, private patio, BBQ and further shared garden. The main village is 300m walk away through olive groves, where you will find a baker's, two butcher's, a greengrocer's and a newsagent's. There are several restaurants and bars in the village. You can enjoy a varied holiday: relaxing by the pool in the garden & wandering through the village, visiting cultural cities & hill-top towns(being south of Lucca this is an excellent location for touring Tuscany), walking in marshlands & mountains, sunbathing on the beach. English owners always available for advice. The apartment is in a typical Italian courtyard setting where 2 families live full-time, so you can experience real Italian living (which can sometimes be noisy!) The beautiful walled town of Lucca is 20 minutes away, Pontedera is 20 minutes away with fast trains to Pisa, Florence and beyond.

About the host
Hosted by Clive and Lucy Woollard
Although I work a lot in the UK, I spend as much time as possible with my wife and 4 boys at our beautiful home in Colle di Compito, where we have had a home since 2006. Throughout 2009 we have restored, with the help of local craftsmen, the ground floor apartment to our house. We are all English, but my wife and family speak Italian fluently.
Why they chose this property
We bought this house to make a family home in our ideal location, which also makes it ideal as a holiday destination. The house is set in beautiful countryside, yet only walking distance from all amenities. With travelling regularly locality to good airports at Pisa and Florence is important. I sometimes work in Florence and the commute to the city centre is easy from the train station at Pontedera.
The village has a lovely feel and the people are very welcoming, many locals will try and speak English. All summer the locals meet at Il Campo, a playground with Tennis, Volley ball, Football and bocce (a kind of bowls), from 9:00 in the evening until the early hours, every generation is there and you would be made most welcome. There are many festivals to enjoy locally.

What makes this property unique
The English owners are resident upstairs, so any difficulties you have can be quickly resolved, ideal for those who are concerned about language problems.
The village is served by a reasonable bus route and the train station is excellent in Pontedera. It is possible to stay in the village without a car (taxi from airport about 70 euros) and still visit Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
There is excellent walking directly from the house, either in the Pisan mountains or to the marshes below including a WWF protected reservation.
