I own a charming fully renovated semi-attached Casa Colonica with large garden in the lovely countryside of Lucca, the only city in the world with a walkable intact circle of ancient walls surrounding the town centre. You'll love it: huge rooms, old chestnut beams, high ceilings, old fireplace and stone sink, decorated with a charming mix of antiques and contemporary pieces.
Here is a brief description, just ask for further details:
1) First Floor: 100 sqm.
Elegant 40 sqm large living room with high cathedral beamed ceilings and old original fireplace;
1 40 sqm bedroom with fireplace;
1 16 sqm double bedroom with queen size bed;
1 large bathroom with white ceramic tiles, bath tub ad separate shower.
Hard wood floors, 2 fireplaces, pellet stove.
2) Ground Floor: 100 sqm.
40 sqm fully equipped kitchen and living area with beamed ceilings and door which leads directly out on to private terrace space and garden;
middle sitting room;
one room currently used as a office/studio
one bathroom with blue ceramic tiles with large shower
one room currently used as a large walk-in closet
English Sky Satellite 37'' flat screen Tv, IPod dock station, Wi-fi Internet connection, DVD player.
The beds are really comfortable, down quilts and Frette and Flou linens are provided.
Wonderful South-facing Terrace, about 950 sqm garden and private parking.
In case of SIMULTANEOUS exchange, the whole house will be at your disposal, except the walk-in closet.
In case of NON-SIMULTANEOUS exchange the whole 1st floor + the 40 sqm kitchen downstairs, terrace and garden will be yours (140 sqm totally). I'll keep for my self a part of downstairs, but due to the structure of the house, you'll enjoy total privacy and separate entrance.
My name is Cynthia, I am a 62 year old American chiropractor and a passionate traveller who enjoys art, theatre and dance. The world is large and I want to experience it all!
I have been living in Italy for more than 20 years and I'm still in love with the beauty of this Country. My dog Spike, a very well-educated Pomerian who I'd like to take in the exchange with me, and my red cat Orlando share this house with me. He is a sweet and shy cat. He requires very little care and will be a discreet roommate.
I'd like to travel for at least 2/4 weeks at a time to oversea destinations, alone or together with a couple of dear friends.
