La Limonaia

La Limonaia was originally the winter resting place for pots of lemon trees to protect them from frost and cold winds from December through to March each year. It has now been lovingly restored as a small comfortable home for up to 4 guests in the southern hills of Lucca, in a well know olive producing area known as the Compitese. The estate itself, also comprising owner’s villa, is surrounded by beautiful terraced olive groves and wonderful views across the hills and countryside.

Ground Floor
The main entrance is through large barn doors leading to a staircase to a gallery and open-plan well equipped kitchen with fireplace and tables and chairs for family dining. To one corner are armchairs and satellite TV.There is one double room and one small single bedded room and shower-room.

Gallery
There is one double bedroom overlooking open-plan ground area with a small lounge/desk area with telephone, computer, printer and internet facilities. There is an air-conditioning unit installed on this open gallery floor, which keeps the whole house cool throughout the Tuscan summer months.

The villa is an ideal base from which to discover the many delights of Tuscany. The medieval walled town of LUCCA is a 10 minute drive away – the small city is very easy to get around and discover for yourself or the owners can arrange guided tours. The Leaning Tower of PISA (30 minutes away) has recently opened to the public – it is stunningly set in an open lawned piazza which also houses the Cathedral, Baptistery and Campo Santo Cemetery. A 40 minute drive will take you to the little port and town of LERICI overlooked by a cliff top castle from where boats leave every hour to PORTOVENERE and the World Heritage site of the CINQUE TERRE - five dramatically cliff clinging villages.

Renaissance FLORENCE is just an hour away, either by train or car – the owners can arrange guided visits as well as organise pre-booked tickets to the Uffizi or the Accademia. SIENA is an hour and a half away with possible stops on the way to SAN GIMIGNANO and MONTERIGGIONI, as is CHIANTI where you can arrange a wine-tasting at one of the many vineyards. For those interested in art and sculpture there are the impressive marble quarries of CARRARA as well as the sculpture town of PIETRASANTA. FORTE DEI MARMI is a lively beach stop with some great shopping as you join the masses in the early evening stroll through the town. There are many wonderful restaurants to try in the area and the owners can assist in pointing you in the right direction and making reservations.
