"Casa di Luca = a little paradise in Tuscany"

"Grazie mille" stands for heartfelt thanks for everything, but it is not enough for Luca and Sandra. After these 2 super - beautiful weeks we are so enthusiastic about our very tastefully furnished and very well-kept Casa, which allows a wonderful holiday from the beginning. Everything is there and it feels like you are not even away from home. It is beautifully situated between the olive groves above Vinci. An oasis for peace, relaxation, deceleration as well as being pleasantly surprised every day how the days develop after the sun rises. And if that wasn't already a lot of amenities, no, then you walk through Luca's olive trees and reach the associated wellness oasis, in the form of a large swimming pool (8x4.5 m) with a small hut and kitchen, barbecue, seating and sunbathing areas. Amazing! In the midst of this little paradise, it is easy to realise and plan your plans. Either you go for culture (e.g. Florence, Lucca, Pisa), we are in the middle of all the sights, or you go shopping and if not, then you spend a nice day up here with pure relaxation. All this would not be possible and imaginable without our hosts > "Luca and Sandra". We have travelled a lot and have seen and experienced a lot. But we had never experienced such friendly and cordial care during our holiday. My dear wife and I can only take this opportunity to thank you both, dear Sandra and Luca, and wish you all the best until we see you again. Grazie mille!!!

we can highly recommend the cottage

We had a wonderful holiday at the Casa di Luca property. The cottage was lovingly decorated. The pool area was great. The pool was large, there was a kitchen and toilet in the pool area. We were undisturbed the whole time and had a lot of peace and quiet.
The landlords Luca and Sandra were very hospitable. They helped us at any time, if necessary, with words and deeds. For a quiet and relaxed couple's holiday, Casa di Luca can be highly recommended.
