It was our first Italian excursion and booking accommodation was a lottery but we struck lucky with this. In a perfect location for days out in Florence, Pisa and the extraordinary Lucca, this beautiful mountain top home was ideal for our family holiday.
The village of Casoli is tranquil and relaxed. Marina's bar and restaurant in the old school house in the centre of the village provides excellent food and wines in rustic surroundings and a chance to interact with locals and other vacationers.
Everything you need, food, wines, restaurants, supermarkets are all available in the nearby town of Bagni di Lucca.
One word of warning, this mountainside property is not for small children who want to run free as there are some steep drops. Also, no wifi which is a blessing but would have been useful for maps, local searches and check-ins. Marina's has wifi but its not great.
Outstanding.
