Overall: Fabulous! It was far beyond our expectations! The property was lovely - the furnishings, the pottery, the oven, the dishwasher, the screens! the air conditioning.I would say the property had many more great qualities than we were expecting!.The pictures on the web site in no way do the property justice. If I can figure out how to send you pictures, I will do so. Enjoyed Most: It was lovely and had everything we needed. Our keyholder's chef had prepared lasagna and chicken cacciatore for us, along with a lovely appetizer and vegetables. We ate this - 6 of us - for 2 nights.It was very hot while we were there and the pool was fabulous! Enjoyed Least: I couldn't quite figure out the washing machine. Surrounding Area: Beautiful and convenient for day trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca and the ocean.We took the train to Florence for a long day - it was easy and relaxing. We highly recommend it. Nearby Events or Locales: There is a lovely working olive grove just steps from the property. They sell a local wine and olive oil. There is also within one mile a fascinating cemetery. Tips or Restaurants: Don't bring anything!. All the things they talk about needing in "the Guide to Living like a Local" are provided - beach towels, garbage bags, etc.We had maid service on 2 days. We weren't really sure what they were doing and we did not know how much to tip them. Directions: We met our keyholder in Lucca. The biggest problem was her limited English and our limited Italian. Check In Out: We loved Daniella, the keyholder. She and her husband were great!
