Outstanding views from very high up in the mountains

Our second visit to this excellent farmhouse which is reached via an interesting drive up a narrow track on the edge of the mountain. Cars with a small wheelbase only recommended such as a Fiat Panda. An ideal place for a family to stay with...More

About the neighbourhood

Lucca (10km) A short drive from the house is the beautiful walled medieval city of Lucca, a town you will fall in love with. The walls, constructed between 1544 and 1645, standing twelve metres high and four kilometres in length have been perfectly preserved. Behind the walls is an architectural wonder embraced within a fascinating labyrinth of narrow passageways. Via Fillungo is the main street in Lucca and is lined with excellent shops intermingled with some interesting buildings. Indoor and open air markets are held in Piazza del Carmine and the antique market is held on the 3rd Sat and Sunday of every month in and around Piazza San Giusto.

Florence (Firenze) (60km) Bursting with renaissance art and architecture, the city of Florence is a cultural delicacy for visitors. No trip to Florence would be complete without a trip to the world famous Uffizi Gallery, housing masterpieces from Botticelli, Michelangelo, Titan and Piero della Francesca, among others. Enjoy lunch in one of the many squares or take a relaxing horse drawn carriage ride around the city before heading off for some retail therapy. The centre is crowded with shops selling everything from stylish clothing to second hand books. Big fashion names will be found in via de Tournabuoni and via della Vigna Nuova. Beside the shops, Florence is rich in open-air markets. The market of San Lorenzo, situated at the centre of the city is the preferred destination of tourists.

Pisa (36km) By far the best known sight in Pisa is the famous Leaning Tower which is one of many architecturally and artistically important structures in the city. The natural and environmental heritage is particularly attractive and in the area you can visit the Natural Park of Migliarino, the Pisano Mountain or the coastline at Marina di Vecchiano, Marina di Pisa and Tirrenia. Pisa is full of wonderful and exciting places to eat out, with a wide choice of every kind of food imaginable. The many stylish locations in Pisa and the wide variety of superb mouth-watering menus, often with an emphasis on fish, make Pisa dining an enjoyable experience.

Siena (119km) One of Italy’s best preserved medieval cities, located in the heart of Tuscany, Siena is built on three hills. The city is surrounded by well preserved walls and is filled with fine examples of Gothic architecture. It is also home to one of the world’s most unique piazza’s – Piazza del Campo or il Campo as referred to locally. Twice a year on July 2 and August 16, Piazza del Campo plays host to the famous Palio horse race, a battle between the contrada (districts) of the city. If you get the chance to attend the Palio you will never forget the excitement the night before the race. The streets are bathed with soft golden light from hundreds of torches and lanterns. In the town square each contrada lays out rows and rows of 50-foot-long tables and local restaurants serve up huge bowls of pasta, gigantic platters of meat and legendary sides of vegetables. Approximately 25,000 Sienese will eat in these streets at night.

San Gimignano Take a drive through the ever changing scenery of vineyards and olive trees to reach San Gimignano. Perched on top of a hill, the city has remained intact through centuries and is famous for its numerous towers, fresco’s and other art treasures. Nearest Beaches (30 mins by car) The Versilia coastline spreads out from Viareggio to Marina Carrara and is one of the most fashionable coasts of Italy including the sophisticated resort of Forte dei Marmi where you can mingle with the Italian aristocracy. The superb golden sandy beaches nestle alongside the crystal clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea where you can enjoy a host of water sports such as snorkelling, sailing, windsurfing and fishing.

Children Apart from the pool and beaches to keep the young ones entertained there is so much to do and see that will suit any one of any age. Everyone is sure to feel that there was something for them by the end of the trip. There are museums in Florence which target children from 8 years old and have special sections for the very young – from 3 to 7. You do not need to be concerned about meals in restaurants either. Italians love children and they are welcome everywhere. If your children can handle the later nights, no Italian will think it unusual for you to take them, no matter how small they are.

Fly to Pisa International - Galileo Galilei Airport is just 30 minutes drive to the Farmhouse.

The track from the village of Sant’ Andrea di Compito to the farmhouse is approximately 400m long, very uneven and narrow and we advise all guests to hire a car no larger than a Ford Fiesta or similar. If you do require a people carrier, we suggest a vehicle with similar dimensions to a Citroen C8.
