We wanted a villa with a private pool in a great location and it didn’t fail our expectations, in fact it was nicer than expected. The pool and villa are very secluded and very spacious. The hosts, Paola and Luca and their son Matteo, did everything for a comfortable stay , they were very helpful and gave many recommendations for places to go.
We visited Pisa, which was 20 minutes away. We went to Florence by train (long trip though, probably best driving to a nearer city close to Florence and then get the train). We also visited the Cinque Terre on the coast (worth a visit) that was an hour away by car and then we took the train. Everything was very straight forward.
But most impressive was the town of Lucca, beautiful, enchanting and vibrant. We loved spending our evenings there.
So all in all, you will definitely not be disappointed.
