Charming Tuscan villa perfectly located 6km from Lucca and 18 from the beachA/C

Casa Pettirosso is a charming holiday home located in the quiet little village of San Macario in Piano,Tuscany.
My name is Giovanni, your host. I’m proud to report Casa Pettirosso has averaged 5-star
reviews for many years now. I was born and raised here and this villa has been in our family for
generations. I look forward to creating your 5-star visit.
The house itself is quite spacious and I provide all the expected amenities. No Stairs nor first floor, easily accessible for all. It’s a very beautiful and relaxing place: look at the pictures and see for yourself. Guests can enter the house from the porch where a table tennis is or from the the opposite side where an external terrace with dining table and chairs is overlooking the view. There is a spacious and bright living room with 2 sofas , sat tv , cd player, air conditioning and fan, books and guides. The kitchen , in a rustic style , is fully furnished including oven , microwave, dishwasher , toaster and coffee maker and moka , kettle, dishes and utensils ,fridge and freezer .
Casa Pettirosso is surrounded by a wide park of shady oaks, providing an ideal space for children to run and play safely.The whole area including woodland and garden is not fully fenced . In the garden under the oak trees there is a dining table with benches and a portable barbecue that allows you to cook outdoor. There is an elevated pool measuring 8mt in diameter and 1,20 mt deep at the exclusive use of the guests. The swimming pool area is equipped with deck chairs , sun beds,small table with sun umbrella . A large parking area is just in front of the house , very handy for carrying suitcases and luggage.
Casa Pettirosso is a welcoming oasis after a day of adventure!

Location, Location, Location
First, let’s start with location. It’s perfect for the eager tourist wanting to take in all that Tuscany offers.
You will be 6 km from the center of Lucca, an historic town surrounding a walled Medieval-era
village with much to see and experience. And in just 20 minutes you can be on the beautiful
Viareggio shoreline.

Florence is 50 minutes by car. Casa Pettirosso is an hour from Cinque Terre, near La Spezia, by
car.

Food, Food, Food
Now let’s talk about everyone’s favorite subject: Italian food!
Food in the area is excellent. Within walking distance from the property there is a very good
Osteria - Alimentari called 'Il Ciancino.’
Nearby is a wood oven pizzeria and a really great ice cream shop. Dianda bar is perfect for
a good morning breakfast or an evening 'aperitivo'.
Near the town church is a high-quality food grocery, a bakery and a butcher's shop. All this is
within walking distance of the property.
On the road to Lucca is the Coop Supermarket and the Lidl on the opposite side.
Plenty of Adventure Close By
While it is true we are very centrally located to tourist destinations in the region, there is plenty
to do right in our own backyard. The surrounding places are very beautiful and allow you to walk in complete tranquility away from traffic . Within 5 minutes walk from the house is an animal farm leaving their animals free during the day .For those seeking outdoor activities, the area around Bagni di
Lucca in the Lima Valley offers some of the best scenery in Italy.
You can book soft rafting trips, quad tours, canyon walks and ride a zip-line through a canyon
park. You can also swim in the fresh pools of the Lima River.
The village of San Macario lies in the bosom of fertile hills, famous for their vineyards and olive
groves. Our region’s olive oil is known for its strong and sharp flavor – be sure to try it!
I personally offer mountain village tours by Land Rover, allowing you to discover this area’s
fascinating lost corners. I will be your driver and tour guide.
I’m told often my English is excellent (I spent two years in England). Please don’t hesitate to
inquire for further information and I will get back to you promptly.
Ciao!

Wonderful stay
We loved our visit - the house is in such a tranquil spot with loads of space inside and out and the view from the terrace was gorgeous. The house is very traditional and you can tell it's been a well loved family home. The weather was very hot but because of the design of the house it stayed cool inside - we hardly needed to use the air conditioning. Il Puffatello is a short walk away and we ate there a few times (the pizzas were some of the best we've ever had). The Co-op in Lucca was about a 10 minutes drive and had everything you would need for a self catering holiday Giovanni was a great host - very relaxed and friendly but not intrusive. We loved our visit and would recommend this property to anyone who was thinking of staying in Tuscany.

Beautiful spot, tranquil but close to everything
We had a great week. The property is spacious and the garden extensive with olive trees and areas of shade for the heat of the day. We especially enjoyed the distant views from the terrace, swimming in the pool (larger than it looks) and playing table tennis. The house and kitchen is old-fashioned, but comfortable. Great location, close to glorious Lucca, and not much more than half-an-hour to the sea (We enjoyed Marina di Vecchiano) and interesting towns like Bagni di Lucca on the way to the mountains. Food was best in Lucca, plenty to choose from there, and great to wander round the shady walls before lunch. Giovanni was very welcoming and speaks excellent English.

Great stay near Lucca on a Tuscan hill
We had a wonderful week with our family. Giovanni is a very friendly and helpful host. The house is surrounded by so much beautiful nature. Having breakfast on the terrace with a stunning view over the Tuscan hills is like paradise. Still on walking distance you can find a bakery for a morning coffee, a pizzeria and other shops and it is only 10 minutes driving to Lucca center. The garden is enormous with endless possibilities both sun and shadow. If it gets too hot the swimming pool helps you out. We visited nice villages like Pietrasanta and Barga. Also the beach is near. It was unforgettable!

Perfectly private getaway in the Italian landscape, with pool
Very nice place to stay, just a few minutes drive from beautiful Lucca. An atmospheric former family home with a large garden. Big plus is the pool, especially in the warm Italian summer. We had a very good stay with our family of five. Giovanni is a friendly and helpful host.

Casa Pettirosso
Vacanza stupenda. La struttura è molto caratteristica. La casa è grande e comoda ed è immersa nel verde, pur essendo vicina a Lucca e per nulla isolata. Noi siamo una famiglia numerosa e siamo stati molto bene. Dalla casa abbiamo raggiunto facilmente anche altre zone della Toscana. Il proprietario, il signor Giovanni, è una persona molto gentile e disponibile. La casa è provvista di tutti gli elettrodomestici e accessori.

Mooie ligging
Wij hebben een fijne vakantie in het huis doorgebracht. Het huis heeft een mooie ligging en ligt iets hoger waardoor je een mooi uitzicht hebt. Ook de ruimte om het huis is groot en als je geluk hebt zie je herten en zwijnen in het veld beneden lopen. Het zwembad is ook zeer aangenaam als de temperatuur stijgt en je lekker wilt afkoelen. De gastheer Giovanni is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad.

Relaxing Tuscany
We spent 10 nights at this authentic house with a great private pool. We experienced a very kind welcoming by the host Giovanni and appreciated the location of the property very close to Lucca (10 mins), near by Pisa (25 mins) and in reach of Florence (60 mins). Also the free beach of Marina di Vecchiano was only a 25 mins drive. For us this was just perfect as we enjoy a mixture of going sightseeing and relaxing days spent at the beach/pool.

Das Haus, der Garten und der Pool entsprechen den Bildern. Der Pool ist wirklich groß und auch die Räumlichkeiten (drei Zimmer, ein Esszimmer, ein Wohnzimmer, die Küche, eine Toilette und ein Bad sowie ein Tischtennis-Raum. Das Grundstück ist sehr weitläufig, was besonders unseren Hund gefreut hat. Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und hilft gerne bei Problemen, die aber im Bezug auf die Unterkunft nicht eingetreten sind. Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen.

Wundervoller Urlaub in dieser tollen Umgebung!
Wir hatten in dieser Villa 2 Wochen wunderschönen Urlaub genießen können - Vielen Dank Giovanni !! Das Haus ist echt groß/geräumig, so dass wir zu viert (mit 2 großen Jugendlichen) mehr als genug Platz und jeder seinen Freiraum hatte. Die Tischtennisplatte im Vorraum ist natürlich super. Der Pool mit ca 10m Durchmesser sehr angenehm zum abkühlen mit schöner Liegewiese. Die Terrasse lädt zum Frühstück und Abendessen ein und das Grundstück ist super groß! Die Lage ist absolut ruhig, da leicht oberhalb des keinen Ortes - Glühwürmchen bevölkern abends den Garten :-) Nach Lucca 15 Min / zum Strand bei Viareggio knapp 30 Min / Bäcker 1-2km entfernt. Man braucht bei der ruhigen Lage halt ein Auto Giovanni ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, die Kommunikation war sehr gut und angenehm. Der Bruder des Vermieters wohnt in einem Haus ebenfalls auf dem (sehr großen) Grundstück Wer Erholung und Ruhe sucht, aber doch gut nach Lucca, Pisa oder zum Strand will, wird sich hier wohlfühlen!
