Description
A 15 mins drive brings you to Lucca—a medieval gem of a town famed for its fortified city walls, historic architecture and monuments as well of course for its wine production. Its narrow streets and splendid squares are filled with intriguing shops, enticing cafes and great restaurants. Take a bicycle ride on the battlements or set aside a few hours to tour a local vineyard and taste your way to a new favourite wine. On a day trip away from your rural retreat, stroll along the sandy beaches or take a swim in the warm waters on the bustling Versillian Riviera just 25 mins away; it’s a unique Italian seaside experience with bathing establishments stretching for miles along the sandy shores from vibrant Viareggio to sophisticated Forte dei Marmi. Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montecatini Terme, the fishing villages of the Cinque Terre, the spectacular mountains of the Garfagnana and many other highlights are all within easy reach.
Please note that for the last two kilometres access to the house is on a largely unpaved, winding road, typical of the Tuscan countryside. It is not recommended for sports cars or cars with very low chassis. There is a bakery 6 minutes down the hill, and a supermarket, pharmacy and ATM cashpoint 10 minutes away in San Martino in Freddana.
We are sorry but no children under 6 are allowed at this property.

Splendid September at Villa Gufo

Our party of six (three couples - old friends who travelled from different parts of Canada to spend a holiday together) stayed at Villa Gufo for the month of September. This peaceful and well-appointed villa was ideal for us, with everyone having a spacious and comfortable bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
The indoor and outdoor spaces of the villa are well laid-out and both practically and stylishly furnished so that that we could spend time separately or together, dining outdoors or enjoying a glass of wine on the terrace, looking out across the spectacular valley during the day, and watching the twinkling lights of Lucca in the evening, with the quiet punctuated only by the call of the owl. We were conveniently located for visits to Pisa, Florence, Siena and San Gimigniano, as well as local expeditions to Pietrasanta, the Garfagnagna and Montecarlo. Lucca itself was a delight, and we visited often, exploring the maze of streets, the magnificent architecture and art, sampling the many restaurants and taking full advantage of the shopping. Service from the rental agency and the villa manager, Giuseppe, was top-notch, with much-appreciated assistance with both lost airline luggage and transportation issues when it transpired that the local taxi driver is no longer in business. Cleaning and garbage collection were reliable and efficient during our long stay. We have many happy memories of our wonderful stay at Villa Gufo, and would thoroughly recommend it. |

Locating the villa was a significant challenge, with no signage and spotty mobile reception on the approach roads making navigation difficult. The unpaved road and hairpin bends are not for the faint-hearted, but the reward for braving them was the perfect tranquility and peace of the villa and its beautiful surroundings. Our use of the pool (which had been a key deciding factor in our villa selection) was unfortunately limited by the presence of a very persistent swarm of (protected) bees, which took up permanent positions at both ends.

We would like to thank you very much for your extended and lovely comments about your stay. We are sorry for the bees, this issue has been resolved and there have been no problems subsequently with any guests enjoying the pool. We are in the countryside so inevitably we coexist with nature. The swifts swooping in to take an evening drink at the pool are a particularly spectacular sight. Concerning the road, the House Manager is usually available to meet guests before driving up the access road. The mobile signal can be patchy on that section of road but is good at its entrance for contacting the House Manager and at the property itself'.

We needed a peaceful rest and that was easily found at Villa Gufo. It is so quiet, absolutely beautiful and a well functioning home where things were very easy to find and working well.
Great pool and pool area.

The house is fantastic, it is completely secluded and quiet in the mountains. The house is perfectly equipped and furnished with love. Not a typical holiday home where everything is just thrown together. Nothing was missing. The beds are super comfortable. The pool is huge with a perfect view. The tennis court is in very good condition. There was even a vegetable patch that you were allowed to help yourself to. There is a small supermarket within 15 minutes. The centre of Lucca is about 30 minutes away. Day trips to PisaFlorence are very feasible.

Absolute paradise. We are counting the days until our return in May 2020. The views from the villa and the pool took my breath away - several times a day! The accommodations are very comforta-ble in the simple Tuscan style. Sonia and Mr Giovanni provided a wealth of information about the surrounding area - from local history and restaurant recommendations to all the directions and in-formation needed for our day trips around Tuscany. We plan to spend more time exploring Lucca this trip. My only complaint...we had to leave!
