Farmhouse Raul
If
you want to experience the real Tuscan way of life,
then take a wonderful holiday in this Tuscany Farmhouse
with swimming pool in Gafagnana near Lucca, Italy. The
farmhouse has wonderful views nestling in the Tuscan
hills near Lucca. This beautiful farmhouse evolves over
two levels and can house 5 people. The farmhouse has
been renovated to offer a comfortable stay and still
maintains its Tuscan originality with classic Tuscan
features of terracotta floors, wood-beamed ceilings,
stone archways and country antiques.
The living room and the dining room have been merged
into one big charming area. There is a fresco of the
countryside and a cozy fireplace in the living room
that also has satellite television. The kitchen is on
the same floor and is well equipped with modern amenities
with a 5-burner gas stove and marble counter tops. The
kitchen leads to a covered patio where guest can enjoy
al fresco dining at a table with seating for 10 people.
Offering lovely views of olive groves and the beautiful
Tuscan countryside, the patio is a perfect place to
enjoy a glass of the region’s best wine and relax.
There is also a single bedroom and a bathroom with a
shower on this floor.
Stairs lead to the upper level that has two bedrooms
with matrimonial beds. The bedroom has a 4-poster wrought-iron
bed that has sheer drapes lending a romantic air. The
other bedroom is decorated in the fabled Tuscan style
and is comfortable and bright having a sky light. The
upstairs bathroom has a Jacuzzi bathtub. The big balcony
has an enchanting herb garden. There is also a table
and chairs with a sun umbrella that enables guests to
watch a spectacular sunrise over the tranquil countryside
of Tuscany. Stairs lead from the balcony to the large
garden area that has an inviting large pool (9.5 x 4.5)
just a short distance from the farmhouse.
The farmhouse is located in an advantageous position
and is 50 meters from a typical Italian cafe, where
you can relax over a morning coffee and have a tete-a-tete
with the locals. The intriguing small town of Aquilea
offers wonderful trattorias and pizzarias as well as
various other shops. The holiday farmhouse is structured
in an area of Tuscany called Gafagnana that is quiet
and perfect being yet undiscovered by tourists. Rich
in arts and crafts, this lovely place has its own customs
where the artisans still favor their traditional heritage.
Following their own cuisine and ancient recipes, the
residents purchase the ingredients and various fresh
produce from markets found throughout the area. Carrara,
where the famous Italian marble is found, is also nearby.
Lucca is only 30 minutes away and as history goes had
a large water supply, so numerous wealthy and affluent
people built many stately villas which can be explored
today. Tourist areas such as Florence are less than
an hour away. The Italian coast is less than 40 minutes
away.
