Classic Tuscan Farmhouse with large fenced pool in hills near Lucca, sleeps 14

Casa Lacche is nestled in a idyllic spot near the beautiful medieval city of Lucca. Surrounded by meadows filled with wildflowers, the house has an away-from-it all feel. Sleeping 14 in comfort, with a fenced 12 metre saltwater pool, large garden, 2 living rooms and a big well-equipped kitchen, it's perfect for multi-generation holidays, or groups. Summer days pass at their own pace, in the pool, under the pergola, with long lazy lunches and dinner under the stars. Lucca is 30 minutes away. Florence just over an hour. Our nearest town, Ponte A Moriano, has a variety of great restaurants, from a bar/pizzeria to fine dining, and a gelateria which is one of the best-known in the area.

If you do need to work, or you have teens who need their devices to work, we have recently installed super-fast wifi throughout the house. All rooms are now video-call ready.

The house is on 2 floors. Upstairs there are 6 spacious bedrooms (5 doubles and a twin + bunks), and two bathrooms: a family bathroom and a shower room with toilet and basin.

Downstairs there's a generous double/twin bedroom with large modern ensuite bathroom which works well for those who find stairs a challenge.

The large traditional farmhouse kitchen is equipped with a 6-ring Smeg range, 2 dishwashers and 2 fridges. The separate utility room with washer dryer means you can keep the laundry under control and out of sight. Next to the utility room is an additional downstairs toilet.

Two living rooms with open fires provide plenty of space to relax in the evenings or out of the sun.

The garden is large, and recently landscaped. The shaded garden terrace is perfect for long lunches. In the evening, we have a cocktail on the west-facing terrace, watching the sun dip behind the distant mountains. We have dinner on the same terrace, sometimes putting something on the big Weber barbecue. For a special occasion, we can arrange a cook. Or you can buy oven-ready lasagna and other local favourites from the deli in Ponte A Poriano. For a memorable evening, book the cook to make pizza on our traditional pizza oven.

The beaches of the Versiglia coast are just over an hour away. For the more adventurous, the Garfagnana national park is nearby and provides opportunities for hiking, kayaking and canyoning, etc.

Nice house with a great view
The view is amazing! But the road to the house was very difficult. So we didn’t go out a lot. But it is not nessecery to go out because everything is in the house en the pool is lovely. If you want to go out, the location is perfect. The beach is nearby and Lucca is a lovely city. The cleaning of the house could be a little bit beter. Especially the kitchen. We had a lovely vacation!

Great family birthday get together
We had a fabulous stay for a 40th birthday. Great info provided by Lucy re: supermarkets, village shops, restaurants and the road to reach the villa. Lucy recommended Giada and Giocomo to come to the house to cook us a meal (accommodating food intolerances with no problem) and have wine tasting. Absolutely amazing food- all home grown produce and cooking from Giada and the paired wine and what we learned about it was amazing. Giocomo was so helpful and kind, giving us great pointers for places to park and visit that were lesser known to tourists. We got quite a few mosquito bites so we couldn’t sit under the shaded seating area near the pool but you can’t control the surrounding nature! The boys were very sad to leave the pool- a great size, nice and deep in the deep end and a great experience with the sun going down over the mountains into the evening. Thank you for letting us stay!

Wonderful summer holidays
We went to Lacche with eight adults and four kids and had a wonderful time there. The house is a very authentic Italian house with a huge garden and a very nice pool. We used the pizza oven twice and everyone had a lot of fun to prepare the pizza. The well equipped kitchen made cooking easy for our family. All family members were a bit sad when we had to leave. Giacomo and Giada were really nice and friendly. We all would highly recommend this house with the beautiful landscape and an area with not so much tourism and nice little villages around.

Beautiful farm house
Beautiful house as described. Perfect for big families. Only the access road is a bit difficult, we had a Renault Espace which struggled on the dirt road due to the gradient of the road, but we were lucky as no rain. House is close to Lucca which is a very nice town to visit. 1 hr from Florence airport. Well located for food shopping. Nice view of the surrounding mountains, we were lucky to see deers in the morning in the front garden. We had Fabrizio on one of the night to cook traditional dinner for the whole family which I highly recommend. Very easy check in Giacomo was there for any queries as well as Lucy. Thank you for everything.

500 year old villa to die for.
We absolutely blessed each day at this property. Yes, we had some ossues but all comes with the territory in this old of house. Every issues was quickly delt with by the owner and hosts. There were 9 of us ranging from age 9 to 67 and the house was so big we never felt on top of each other. The road in the first time is an adventure but you get used to it and becomes part of the experience. 100% recommend to those seeking to be out in the countryside with charm and luxury.

Three generation family vacation
After a two year delay due to “circumstances”, our family gathered at Lacche for an amazing 2 week holiday. From the beginning, we felt welcomed and at home. The beautiful pool was a respite in the heat and the terrace was the perfect place for quiet early mornings or festive evening meals. The gravel road to the villa was a bit of a challenge, but my Sons-in-law mastered it quickly. I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a place to retreat from the crowds and enjoy the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We were all very sad to leave and hope we can return again.

Location and a farmhouse lifestyle
The house is in a stunning location. The views are amazing, and you are well placed for trips out to Florence, Pisa, north into the mountains. The house is rustic, full of character, love, charm and quirks. It offers an authentic Tuscan lifestyle. The rooms are huge with terracotta floors (a bit uneven) and huge beams in the ceiling. New windows, with shutters, keep the rooms cool. Don’t expect a fitted kitchen, you sit round the huge kitchen table to prepare and eat meals as a family, or outside on the terrace with pots of lemon trees or under cover at the side. There’s one large wardrobe on the landing shared by all the bedrooms, but you really don’t need a posh frock here. Lovely big pool with a view and an outside shower, and shaded area, just down the path from the house. We loved the wildflowers, birdsong, rustling of the aspen trees (no manicured lawns here). Horses graze nearby and one day a fox ambled past. It’s very quiet, not remote as there are other houses dotted around the hillside, but a few kilometres of difficult road/track to get to any amenities. A smaller car is better for the narrow rough track. We only drove it once a day and never in the dark, but it was worth it to live with that view.

Traumhaftes Haus mit traumhaften Blicken
Wir waren mit 6 Erwachsenen in dem schönen Haus von Lucy's Familie. Es ist wunderbar in den Bergen vor Lucca gelegen und hat traumhafte Aussichten vom Pool als auch von der Terrasse aus auf die saftig grüne Landschaft. Das Haus ist innen sehr schön eingerichtet, und an dem persönlichen Charakter der Einrichtung kann man erkennen, daß das Haus auch von Lucy und Ihrer Familie genutzt wird. Die Küche hätte etwas sauberer sein können, aber alle anderen Bereiche des Hauses waren ohne Beanstandung. Bei schlechtem Wetter kann man sich im Haus wunderbar aufhalten, Kochen, Lesen oder auch Kicker spielen. Bei schönem Wetter ist neben dem Pool und den Terrassen auch die Tischtennisplatte zu erwähnen, die bei uns für viel Spass gesorgt hat. Das Haus hat mehrere blutoothfähige Boxen, die man nutzen kann. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist, wie in anderen Bewertungen schon erwähnt, sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig. Wir hatten Rennräder mit, die wir leider wegen des schlechten Zustandes der besagten Zufahrtsstrasse erst ab der nächstmöglichen geteerten Strasse (ca. 1km entfernt) nutzen konnten. Lucca ist innerhalb von 45min zu erreichen. Dienstags ist im nächstgelegenen Ort ein Markt der hauptsächlich Stände mit Bekleidung, aber auch ein bis zwei Obst - und Gemüsestände anzubieten hat. Insgesamt ist das Haus von Lucys Familie in jedem Fall zu empfehlen.

Just lovely
Just amazing property Lucca was lovely. The road leading to the house was no joke its really off-road. I had a rubbish car and it made it but you need to have some vague confidence. Pizza night organised was really enjoyable had a smashing time. Id say the house is definitely child safe but for a really active 1 year old we found ourselves constantly having to monitor him every second he was awake. But it’s defiantly manageable really nice stay and well worth the visit.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Angereist mit der Grossfamilie durften wir eine entspannte Zeit verbringen. Kicker- und Tischtuniere und ein großartiger Pool, dazu die Nähe zu Lucca, einfach toll. Auch wenn manches in die Jahre gekommen ist, merkt man dass alles mit Liebe eingerichtet ist und die Eigentümerin selbst viel Zeit dort verbringt.

Tolles Haus in ruhiger Gegend
Wir waren als Freundesgruppe zu 14. eine Woche in dem Haus und uns hat es sehr gut gefallen! So wie bereits in den vorherigen Kommentaren beschrieben ist das ganze Haus sehr gut ausgestattet, gerade die Küche mit zwei Spülmaschinen, scharfen Messern und allem was man sonst noch braucht um angenehm für eine große Gruppe zu kochen. Wie auch schon vorher erwähnt, war für uns der Schotterweg der zum Haus führt auch eine Herausforderung, aber letztendlich machbar. Wir würden jederzeit gerne wieder zurückkommen!

Fantastische vakantie gehad in dit geweldige huis
In juli en augustus verbleven wij met een groep van 12 vrienden (waaronder 5 kinderen tussen de 11 en 13 jaar) 3 weken in het prachtige huis van Lucy. Alles was perfect. Het huis is erg sfeervol en ademt Toscane. De keuken is meer dan compleet en van alle gemakken voorzien. De slaapkamers en badkamers zijn groot en schoon en er is genoeg (kast)ruimte om je spullen op te bergen. Vele uren hebben we op het terras gezeten welke grenst aan de keuken. Het uitzicht met de zonsondergang is iedere dag anders en adembenemend. We hebben hier genoten van het ontbijt en het avondeten en de vele wijntjes en limoncello’s. De kinderen hebben zich goed vermaakt in het zwembad. De telefoons werden zelfs vergeten en dat wil wat zeggen ;) Ook voor de volwassenen was het zwembad een heerlijke plek om een dag te genieten. Het huis is erg centraal gelegen. Grote boodschappen deden wij vooral bij de Essalunga maar bij de bar (klein winkeltje) op de berg was ook genoeg (brood, pasta etc.) te krijgen. We hebben uitstapjes gemaakt naar o.a. Lucca, Pisa, Viareggio (strand), Cinque Terre en natuurlijk het prachtige Florence. Allemaal aanraders!!! Het was voor ons de eerste keer Italië en we zijn echt verliefd geworden op het land, het eten, de cultuur maar vooral de mensen. Giada was echt fantastisch!!! Zij heeft ervoor gezorgd dat we een geweldige verjaardag hebben kunnen vieren in het huis met overheerlijk Italiaans eten!!! De taart die hierbij zat…. Geweldig!!!! Komen graag terug!
