Tuscan house in idyllic scenic tranquility in hills between Lucca and sea WiFi

The house has all modern conveniences whilst maintaining its original Tuscan style and charm. There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms en suite on the lower floor with access directly into the garden. Upstairs there is a very light spacious sitting/dining room with a characteristic Tuscan fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with a lovely picture window looking out to the surrounding hills. Leading out of the kitchen is a terrace for al fresco eating.
There is mosquito netting.

Podere Consani is a group of old houses on the top of a small hill - it lies in an idyllic setting amongst well-tended natural gardens,(lavender, roses, lemons and herbs) that lead into the adjacent olive groves, vineyard & woodland, in the hills between Lucca and the coast. The house shares a swimming pool with another property in the garden - this is also possible to be rented if you are a bigger group (See property 75096 Casa Cherubino - sleeps 6/7).
The owners take great care to ensure guests are happy during their stay whilst respecting their privacy. They produce their own wine and olive oil.

Nature-lovers,painters and walkers alike cannot fail to enjoy the wonderful surroundings and lovely views and although Podere Consani is set in this oasis of peace, it is however only 15 minutes before the majestic walls of Lucca come into sight.
There is the possibility to have cooking lessons or have a meal cooked for you in the house.
It is also possible to have a variety of massages at the house or in the garden.

We can organize for you to rent bikes to tour the area or to be taken on a tour.

The villa was lovely, equipped well for cooking and quintessentially Tuscan. The host was super friendly, accessible,quickly replied to questions, and provided very helpful sightseeing tips for places to see. The pool was very welcome after a day of sightseeing. Parking was safe but very tight due to narrow drive and limited spaces. The location was very remote and the bumpy road up is not paved the entire way, has some switchbacks and one way spots, so you need an appropriate vehicle. No access to restaurants without a drive. Washing machine was in a basement under the villa with access to outside clothes line. The one hairdryer in the house did not work, except in the kitchen due to plug issues. The villa is tranquil but very rural. Loved the daily visit of the owners dog Nepo who adopted us. We had a good time during our week there.

Absolutely Perfect

Our stay was magical. I hate to overload a review with superlatives but it could be impossible not to. Susan was a spectacular host, sharing excellent recommendations for touring, dining, or just relaxing. The location was exactly what we had hoped. Isolated but short drives to everywhere. I would visit again and again.

Lovely Tuscan Home in Hills

Had memorable week going to wineries, having cooking lesson (set up by our host Susan), going to a rare bookshop (set up by our cooking lesson instructor) and loving the scenery. What a place to relax, with lime growing outside your door and basil to put into your tuscan pasta sauce in the same pots. Close to Lucca and very comfortable place to stay!

Week long stay at Podere Consani

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Podere Consani despite the weather not always being cooperative during our stay. The location was very quiet and had beautiful views. It was only a 12 to15 min. drive to the centre of Lucca. Susan was prompt at communication and was attentive to any needs we had on our visit. We enjoyed being able to see the olives being harvested. Grazie Susan!

Tuscan Adventure

Our visit to Podere Consani was all that we had hoped for. Just taking the winding road up to the property will put you in a different world. Surrounded by grape vines and olive trees made you realize you are now in Tuscany. Our cottage offered everything we needed to relax and experience a peaceful retreat. The beautiful pool was just out our back door to give us another way to unwind. The location also provided a very convenient homebase to wander in any direction to investigate Lucca and the surrounding areas. Our hosts, Susan and Lelio were delightful. They were always available and had wonderful suggestions on places to visit and fabulous restaurants to discover the local cuisine. Do not hesitate to take a trip to this Tuscan retreat. Ciao!

Podere Consani

Located north of the historic, scenic, walled city of Lucca, this well appointed holiday cottage was our home for a week. With our rental car, we visited the Cinque Terre, villages along the coast, and the villas/palazzos north-east of Lucca. Its central location made it very easy to enjoy these cultural day trips, after a swim in the morning. We made great use of the pool, often twice a day or even more. The first week of October was still very warm and pleasant. The cottage had everything to cook, BBQ, be indoors or outdoors. It is spacious, has two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. We did a load of laundry following our first holiday week. Susan was welcoming, a source of local knowledge, resourceful and happy to assist with all of our queries. The two other buildings are near, yet we felt secluded underneath the porch and on sun beds shielded by hedges and shrubs. The air around the cottage is heavy with the scent of flowers and herbs that grow in the well tended garden. We had a wonderful week and recommend this holiday property wholeheartedly.

La Docé di Niente - the sweetness of doing nothing...

Our stay at Podere Consani was ideal. The home is well appointed and we cooked many meals and wanted for not. We were invited to the fresh herbs from the garden and enjoyed the home grown olive oil provided in a lovely welcome basket. Our host was absolutely incredible and available for any inquiries. Also, she had provided some provisions that we did not anticipate we would be needing (extra toilet paper, and laundry detergent). The property is clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We were able to have space and time alone as well as gathering for meals, coffee and wine. Very comfortable for 3-4 people. The drive up to the property is scenic and tranquil. It was a little tricky at first but then we sorted out the gps and it became super simple. The short trip down the hill to the market, or a little further into the lovely town of Lucca makes this location perfect to get away and enjoy simplicity or venture not too far out to experience the magic of the antiquity of Italy. We will come back again. We are so grateful for Susan, her family and, of course, the wonderful animals that greeted us upon arrival and every morning for coffee.

This stay was idyllic and everything that was promised. Privacy, serenity and beautiful surroundings. Loads to do in the area and off the beaten track enough to have a sanctuary from tourism. Susan was the hostess with the mostess. Always there for suggestions, but never intruding. Her family are quintessential Italian and we loved hearing her grandchildren calling each other across the garden, hearing the neigh of the horses and next doors donkey in the distance. If you like some solitude with your surroundings this is the place for you. We will be back.

the perfect farm stay for our family

The farm was an idyllic setting for a quiet week with our family. My kids loved the pool, the fruit trees and all the animals. My husband and I loved the tranquility of the property, which was the perfect antidote between our visits to cities. It's close enough to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terra and many beaches for easy day trips if you're hoping to explore.

Amazing Location, Hosts, and Property!

We stayed here for 7 days in September with our 18 month old daughter and had the best time! Susan and her family are incredible hosts and provided us with all the information we needed for a fabulous stay. The villa was charming, comfortable and the perfect home base for our adventures. The pool was gorgeous, we ate every night outside, and loved going to visit the horses and goats with our daughter. We LOVED Lucca and would highly recommend this area if you are thinking of coming to Tuscany. It is close to Florence, Cinque Terre and the town of Lucca itself is lovely. This was our first time to Tuscany and we definitely hope to be back. We loved our stay at Podere Consani!

magnificent holiday

The four of us including our Dog spent a great time on the Podere Consani: the sweet, spacious cottage is situated in typical Tuscany countryside with all comfort you need, a fantastic pool, a very friendly host familiy and a lot to see in close proximity (Lucca, Viareggio, Pisa, Barga e.g. ) Perfect to create your own mixture of activity and recreation for an individual Italian experience. Susan’s recommendations were very informative and helpful. Thanks a lot for everything. No doubt, we need to come back.

Gorgeous holiday in Tuscany!

We had a fabulous time staying at La Capanna. It was our second time in Tuscany, having stayed in a hotel in Florence before. I have to say that this was so much better as we had all the benefits of the beautiful Tuscan countryside and we could visit all the towns and cities when we wanted. Our hosts were so welcoming and helpful without being on top of us which was perfect! The house was just right and felt like a real home rather than a rental with outlooks onto the beautifully maintained gardens and woodland. The views down the valley into Lucca were spectacular. We really enjoyed all the local produce, especially the wine and olive oil from our hosts. Having explored everywhere in the daytime, it was lovely to come home to a log fire, it was all very cosy! We will be back. Thank you.
