Tuscan Fairytale Family Villa close to Beaches and Lucca

Wir haben mit unseren Töchtern (14J, 18J) knapp 14 Tage in dieser wunderschönen Villa verbracht. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich die Küche, Esszimmer, Wohnzimmer, Bad und Speisekammer. Im 1. OG die drei Schlafzimmer und ein weiteres Bad. Alles sehr liebevoll (toskanischer Stil mit vielen Antiquitäten) und reichhaltig (auch die Küche) ausgestattet. Die Besitzer, ein älteres Ehepaar, wohnen im 2. OG und sind supernett (zwar nur wenig Englisch, aber kein Problem dank (Hidden by Airbnb) ). Privatsphäre ist garantiert. Das Besondere daran ist allerdings die Außenanlage. Ein großer gepflegter Garten mit Olivenhainen, Zitronen- und Feigenbäume und der große private Pool. Genau das, was wir gesucht haben zum Entspannen und Runterkommen. Das Meer ist ca. 25 Minuten entfernt, auch nach Lucca ist es nicht weit.

Leuke plek ik zal in de toekomst weer eens terug gaan! Vriendelijke host en super leuke omgeving. We lagen elke dag aan het leuke zwembad.

Everything went perfectly well. Thank you very much.

Belle maison ancienne, beaucoup de charme . Très beau jardin très bien entretenu. Grande piscine bien sécurisée dans un cadre magnifique, bien équipé avec parasols et transats très confortables . Nous avons apprécié la terrasse extérieure pour manger bien protégée du soleil . Voiture indispensable.
Quelques points négatifs : la literie, le débit des douches pas très important et une magnifique ligne haute tension qui passe sur la propriété.

We really enjoyed our week at the Villa Bicocche, the weather was perfect for us, around the mid-20's with most days sunny with just onetwo cloudy and one day with a nit of rain. But we could eat outside every meal thanks to the covered veranda on one side and gazebo on the other. The pool really made the holiday, with several days spent lazing on the sun loungers reading books, and dipping in the pool. The children really enjoyed the pool inflatable toys as well. Mosquito's weren't too bad, but on the last dayso we became more aware of them so taking insect repellent and bite cream is a good idea. If you have young children there is a pond ( with a fence around with gaps in) so that does need keeping an eye on. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, and felt like an authentic Italian family home. Found a lovely local restaurant ( Antico Frantoio ) which was great value, very hospitable and perfect for a family meal with young children.

A wonderful stay - incredibly maintained villa. Beautiful gardens, pool, terrace and lounge area. Great area from which to do day trips. Classic interiors. Beds are pretty old but you get used to them and considering how incredible the rest of the experience is, it was fine. Wake up with roosters from a nearby house, beautiful sunlight and pastries at the town nearby. Soak in the pool and eat at the delicious restaurant up the hill.

A nice villa with an amazing Swimmingpool. The owners(?), mario and giuliana were also really nice and live on the 3rd floor, but have an extra entrance. Everything was clean and welcoming.

Ein wunderschöner Ort zum entspannen und relaxen. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, die Besitzer sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Poolanlage und der Garten mit den Olivenbäumen für unsere Kinder ein Traum zum spielen. Der Sitzplatz zum Wohnbereich lädt zu gemütlichen Abenden ein. Schade ist, dass man nicht wirklich eine grosse Aussicht hat und auf dem Grundstück der Strommasten steht. Dennoch würden wir dieses Feriendomizil jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Myself, husband and 4 friends just returned from an excellent holiday with everything we needed within short distance, beach, eating places, supermarkets and large weekly market. The pool area was immaculate and everything we needed for our comforts in the house was there ie reliable wifi, air-con, sat tv channels, towels and sheets. we would recommend this villa and would go back. Thank your Mrs Sonia for your great support and for providing such an amazing Villa

Great place to stay, pool superb, owners very helpful when needed, very relaxing, nearby town of Camioire lovely, recommend Lorenzo's coffee shop, best cakes ever, good supermarket, well done Lucca Apartments and Villas.

Dear Mrs Sonia, many thanks for all of your hospitality. We all agreed you made the trip very special for us. From the wine you had waiting on our arrival to Mario with the olive oil on the last day and, in between, the pastries, the maps, the dinner suggestions, the pizzas and the roasted chickens. We truly enjoyed the week we spent in your beautiful villa.

The property was very old world charm, impeccably decorated and very clean.

The garden and grounds were beautifully maintained and the swimming pool was wonderful. The whole of the property was delightful, as were the owners Mario and his wife , who though on site kept themselves to themselves and allowed us to enjoy ourselves uninterrupted.

The property is well situated for day trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca , all of which were fabulous. And locally the ancient

town of Camaiore had everything we needed.

The only down side of the holiday was the noise from the barking dogs in properties nearby,but once you accept that and enjoy the bird song there was no problem.

The high light of the holiday was an open air concert in nearby Viareggio featuring Andrea Botcelli at the Puccini festival . A perfect end to a lovely Italian holiday.

We spent a wonderful week in Sonia's Bicocche Farmhouse. It's in a beautiful area of Tuscany only a short way from Lucca and from the Beaches of lido Di Camaiore, Forte dei Marmi, Viareggio and the breathtaking Cinque Terre with other places such as Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Volterra as well as the villages of the Chianti region all within an hourso's drive. Whilst the villa is in a quiet, unspoilt rural area, access to major roads is quick and easy which all adds to the ease with which you can explore this part of Tuscany. The villa is spacious and intimate. It is well equipped and has a real sense of character about it. It lies in lovely grounds with pool garden surrounded by the quietness that everyone needs to recover after a busy year. The outlook is across meadows and olive groves which we loved. We particularly enjoyed watching hoopoes feeding on the grass and redstarts nest building in the trees! It’s lovely to have a car to have daily trips (or at least to drive to the train station in 10-15 mins) while Camaiore and the close by Montemagno, the villages in which the villa lies, are lovely villages with several facilities and the nearest shops/supermarkets and restaurants if you want to eat out are within 5 mins driving. There is a bus at the top of the road for Lucca, but once again a car is far more convenient. In summary, the description you read of the property is accurate. It is clean and has the real sense of an old stone house. Sonia and Cristina were extremely welcoming and helpful and we would certainly recommend the property to friends and family. It would be very hard to find anything negative to say about it. We certainly anticipate returning at some time ourselves to continue our exploration and appreciation of this fascinating part of Tuscany. Thanks Sonia for your impressive customer care. You have been wonderful.

Thank you to Sonia, Mario and Juliana for making us feel so welcome and making our stay absolutely incredible! The Villa was even more amazing than the pictures show, it totally took our breath away! We spent the first 10mins whilst being showed around just saying WOW! It was like a high end boutique hotel, with stunning views, and hosts ready to answer any questions and help in every way. The villa is a short dive into the centre of Lucca and from the beach, which is full of wonderful restaurants. We spent a day walking the city walls, exploring the cathedral and its cript and taking the views of the city from the top of the bell tower. We also took a train to Florence for the day, trains were easy to catch and very very cheap in comparison to the UK! And the city was beautiful an absolute must see! The icing on the cake was the special breakfast Juliana prepared for us on our final morning. It really finished our stay perfectly and was so thoughtful. I could not have wished for a better weekend away celebrating my Boyfriends birthday! An area really worth visiting, especially if you book this flat! I can't wait to arrange coming back in the summer months! Thanks again!
