La Roccia, dating from 1743, is a beautiful, serene Tuscan farmhouse, tastefully decorated with a mix of modern and antique furniture. It is across the courtyard from our full-time home and is equally as loved and cherished, so doesn't feel like a characterless holiday home.
Downstairs there is a large eat-in kitchen with marble worktops, wooden cabinetry and a fully beamed ceiling. The kitchen has a dishwasher and a working fireplace. On the ground floor there is also a bedroom with twin beds and a separate bathroom with a large shower.
Up the spiral staircase, you'll find a double living and dining room with attractive antique furniture and an original beamed ceiling. There is also lovely double bedroom with a view over the courtyard. On this floor there is a second bathroom with a new, very large, walk in shower.
You'll have exclusive use of the lovely courtyard, with views up through the olive terraces. From the courtyard, you'll maybe see our family of resident deer. There is also a rear, private terrace.
Our home is set in nine acres of olive terraces and woodland, which you're free to explore. There is a small swimming pool, remodelled in Spring 2022, open May to September. Also a laundry room.
Our home is 18 km from the magnificent Medieval and Renaissance city of Lucca; 70 minutes from Florence / Firenze; 45 minutes from Pisa, the Versilian Riviera and the smart beach resort of Forte dei Marmi; and within two hours of Siena and southern Tuscany. A car is essential.
