We, family of 3 with teenage son, stayed at the house of Giada and Luca from 29.10.’19 till 05.10.’19 and can highly recommend this house when visiting Tuscany and wanting to have both a cultural and leisure holiday.
It’s pretty close to the sea e.g. beach resort Forte dei Marmi, and quite central when you want to visit places like Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Livorno, La Spezia and Cinque Terre.
Don’t forget to visit the village next door, Pietrasante, center of sculpting where you find a lot of restaurants as
well. We, unfortunately, only discovered this village the day of our departure. So much for our preparations.
The first things you notice when entering the house is that’s been renovated and decorated with love and principle. Drawer handles, match the bars of the stairs etc. This is besides the cleanliness/tidiness that jumps to eye when you
arrive.
The house is well equipped and has everything that’s needed to enjoy your stay, incl. good WiFi for the youngsters. We particularly liked the big, living, kitchen as being the entrance and for us center of the house, with its marble
floor, counters and sink, big table, stereo, television etc. Something we would love to have ourselves at home but that on a side note.
The checking in and out is easy and convenient. Parking your car isn’t a problem as there is a free parking lot only a minute walk from the house.
Although we come from what we feel is a clean country, Switzerland, we were amazed by the garbage separation and daily collection of it by a small electric truck. Something a lot of countries could take as an example.
All in all a nice stay, in a nice house, owned and looked after by nice people, in a nice and beautiful area of Italy. So much more to see and do, that we are almost forced to visit again.
Last but not least, thanks to Daniela for her help and flexibility upon arrival and departure.
