Notes from the host
Podere Alte
Characteristic, Tuscan country house divided into three apartments, located among the hills north of Lucca. Stunning views, large patio and private swimmingpool. Perfect for a family vacation. WiFi.
This building, dating back to the 16th century is located in a fantastic position among the hills north of Lucca, overlooking the whole valley and the surrounding countryside, characterized by vineyards and olive groves. Here and there you see small stone houses and stately cypresses lining the roads. Just as you imagine when you close your eyes and think about Tuscany. Here you can relax in the peaceful countryside, but you are still not far from Lucca and in a central position to visit the sea or the rest of Tuscany.
The property consists of two buildings facing south which have been restored and converted into 3 separate apartments.
In front of the buildings there is a private garden with flat grass areas and furnished outdoor area with possibility to barbecue. Perfect for fresco meals all together enjoying the fantastic view.
