About this property

Idyllic Tuscan hillside farmhouse

Authentic totally private Tuscan hillside farmhouse. Secluded rural setting with panoramic views of stunning countryside. Located just 40 minutes drive from Pisa and Florence, and 10 minutes drive from the beautiful market town of Pescia with its variety of restaurants, supermarkets and attractions. Just 5 minutes away is a stunning public access outdoor hotel pool with all amenities.

A beautiful home from home, several hundred years old, with all the facilities needed for a wonderful relaxing and comfortable stay for couples, families and groups.

The space

La Querce, translating into ‘The Oaks’ is a idyllic Tuscan farmhouse hideaway, named after the hill on which is stands some 800 feet above sea level in the stunning foothills of Northern Tuscany.

La Querce has accommodation for up to 6 (or 8 people including a sofa bed). It is arranged as 2 double bedrooms, a master with ensuite shower, a second double bedroom and a twin room - which as a walk through is ideally suited for children. There is also a double sofa bed in the living room.

Downstairs is a second bathroom, kitchen/diner and living room. Dual access from the front of the house leads on to the main eating (dining table for 8 under vines), lemon sun terraces with its sun loungers, and coffee terrace - all with commanding views south over the valley floor beneath out into northern Tuscany, and to the north deeper into the valley, with many of the medieval hilltop villages ‘Dieci Castelli’ in view.

The farmhouse is fully equipped, including dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, Wi-fi/Bluetooth surround-sound music and satellite Wi-fi (metered). 3G and 4G mobile reception is generally available around the house.

In front and to the side of the farmhouse are terraced olive groves, and to the rear a significant area of untouched woodland, making a fabulous area for walking and exploring outdoors. Parking for a number of cars. Beyond La Querce, many leisure activities suitable for all ages exist (including swimming at a country club, drive time approx 20mins), whilst the stunning Italian coastline at Viareggio is under a 60 minute drive to the West.

La Querce makes a perfect base to rest and explore Tuscany, whether you are seeking a seemingly remote hideaway or a base for exploration of stunning Northern Italy.

Relaxing stay in La Querce

Beautiful rustic home with fantastic views. It’s well equipped and Stuart was really helpful. We enjoyed the peace, the hilltop villages and took a train trip to Florence and drives to Viareggio, San Gimignano and Volterra. Great local food and restaurants.

Peaceful Getaway

My husband and I were recently traveling through Italy with another couple for 2 weeks. We stayed at La Querce for 4 nights which was the absolute perfect place to relax and unwind after 4 crazy, action packed days in Rome. Prior to our arrival, Tom (the host) was unbelievably helpful and responsive, providing us with detailed directions to the property, restaurant suggestions, instructions for our stay, and ideas for touring around the area. The property itself is beautiful, set into the side of a hill with breathtaking views high above Pescia. Although the villa is hundreds of years old, it had all of the necessities (i.e, gas cooking range, great bedding, good plumbing, washer / dryer) that a modern house would have. Out favorite parts were the outdoor patios - one with a long table perfect for al fresco dining and the other with 2 lounge chairs to soak up the sun. We enjoyed the patios at night as well with a glass (or 2) of great wine, gazing at the stars and watching the fireflies float around us. It was truly idyllic. Stuart, the house manger was there to greet us when we arrived and was extremely helpful throughout our stay. He was able to accommodate a couple of last minute requests and checked in daily to make sure we had everything that we needed. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience and hope to return one day in the not too distant future!

Es war für uns, gefühlt der schönste Platz auf Erden.

Sehr schön gelegen, dieses 500 Jahre alte Bauernhaus hat Charme und viel Leben in sich. Gut gepflegt, es war alles da was man zum Leben braucht, Luxus für die Seele. Man muss es erlebt haben, es sieht besser aus als auf den Bildern obwohl die schon viel Aussagen.

Sehr schönes und ursprüngliches altes Bauernhaus, das sehr gut ausgestattet ist.

Idealer Ort um sich zu entschleunigen und entspannen (digital detox). Aber auch alle sonstigen Aktivitäten und Sehenswürdigkeiten der Toskana sind mit dem Auto sehr schnell erreichbar, da das Haus trotz seiner Abgeschiedenheit sehr zentral liegt. In Lucca ist man in ca. 25 min. und nach Viareggio zum Strand (Kontrastprogramm zum abgeschiedenen Haus) ist man in ca. 40 min. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch Stuart ist sehr herzliche und hervorragend. Irreführend für den schnellen Bucher war nur, dass das Haus mit Pool angezeigt wird, obwohl das Haus keinen Pool hat. Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen und würden wieder hingehen.

Lovely House

The house was lovely and rustic, the only downside for us was that there was only one fan and a fan in each room would of been great as it was very hot , The areas around the house was lovely and the walk at the back of house was great. I would recommend the house to friends but would ask for more fans as no air con. Thanks again . Karen

Ankommen in einem Zuhause

Dies ist kein Ferienhaus im klassischen Sinne - hier hat sich jemand geschmackvoll für sich selbst vollständig eingerichtet und ein historisches Häschen mit historischen Materialien vollständig saniert. Es ist der richtige Ort, um abgeschieden von der Welt (und on Corona...) die Aussicht, die Ruhe zu genießen. Leichte Wanderungen praktisch direkt hinter dem Haus. Städte wie Lucca, die Strände und alpine Touren in erreichbarer Nähe. eine schöne Sommerfrische. Man ist auf dem Land im Süden: Wenn man sich richtig verhält, hat man die Mücken im Griff. Und die Sonne geht früh hinter dem Haus unter.

Getaway from the tourist crowd

We stayed here for a month. Weather aside, which we were told was extremely unusually rainy, we had a fantastic time. The house is incredible and the area is so beautiful. It doesn’t feel touristy at all which you will really appreciate of you visit Siena or Florence where all the tour groups go. Our Italian is pretty limited but everyone was so nice. Loved staying here and the property owner and manager are awesome.

Great property

This is a beautiful house, lovingly thought through, fresh lemons growing on the terrace, owls calling and stars at night and every comfort, from beds to cooking equipment and sun loungers. Some fine walks above the house to the hilltop villages, walks in high pasture a little beyond and an interesting history of paper making in the valleys around . Many thanks to Tom for efficiency and warmth.

Ett fantastiskt läge i sluttningen med 100 % charm!

Perfect place for a real Italian retreat. Lovely suroundings, quiet and still easy to visit charming cities and enjoy tasty food and nice Italian wine. We were 5 persons and had a lovely week. We made walks to nearby old village. Florens, Lucca and Pisa are close by car. The house however brings you most joy of all - so much charm that you want to stay for ever. A fantastic panoramic view while having our breakfast. Helpful owner gave us lots of useful suggestions what to do, Thanks. We will come back! / Tomas from Sweden
