Tuscan house in idyllic scenic tranquility in hills between Lucca and sea WiFi

The house has all modern conveniences whilst maintaining its original Tuscan style and charm. There are 2 bedrooms with bathrooms en suite on the lower floor with access directly into the garden. Upstairs there is a very light spacious sitting/dining room with a characteristic Tuscan fireplace. The kitchen is well equipped with a lovely picture window looking out to the surrounding hills. Leading out of the kitchen is a terrace for al fresco eating.
There is mosquito netting.

Podere Consani is a group of old houses on the top of a small hill - it lies in an idyllic setting amongst well-tended natural gardens,(lavender, roses, lemons and herbs) that lead into the adjacent olive groves, vineyard & woodland, in the hills between Lucca and the coast. The house shares a swimming pool with another property in the garden - this is also possible to be rented if you are a bigger group (See property 75096 Casa Cherubino - sleeps 6/7).
The owners take great care to ensure guests are happy during their stay whilst respecting their privacy. They produce their own wine and olive oil.

Nature-lovers,painters and walkers alike cannot fail to enjoy the wonderful surroundings and lovely views and although Podere Consani is set in this oasis of peace, it is however only 15 minutes before the majestic walls of Lucca come into sight.
There is the possibility to have cooking lessons or have a meal cooked for you in the house.
It is also possible to have a variety of massages at the house or in the garden.

We can organize for you to rent bikes to tour the area or to be taken on a tour.

Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Week long stay at Podere Consani
We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Podere Consani despite the weather not always being cooperative during our stay. The location was very quiet and had beautiful views. It was only a 12 to15 min. drive to the centre of Lucca. Susan was prompt at communication and was attentive to any needs we had on our visit. We enjoyed being able to see the olives being harvested. Grazie Susan!

A fantastic week at a great location, perfect for exploring the area around Lucca and super easy to get to from Pisa or Florence airports. We loved the house and pool and Susan and Lelio were such brilliant hosts, full of useful info on where to go, what to see and where to eat……pretty much all you need!! Highly recommended!!

Absolutely Perfect
Our stay was magical. I hate to overload a review with superlatives but it could be impossible not to. Susan was a spectacular host, sharing excellent recommendations for touring, dining, or just relaxing. The location was exactly what we had hoped. Isolated but short drives to everywhere. I would visit again and again.

La Docé di Niente - the sweetness of doing nothing...
Our stay at Podere Consani was ideal. The home is well appointed and we cooked many meals and wanted for not. We were invited to the fresh herbs from the garden and enjoyed the home grown olive oil provided in a lovely welcome basket. Our host was absolutely incredible and available for any inquiries. Also, she had provided some provisions that we did not anticipate we would be needing (extra toilet paper, and laundry detergent). The property is clean and comfortable with plenty of room. We were able to have space and time alone as well as gathering for meals, coffee and wine. Very comfortable for 3-4 people. The drive up to the property is scenic and tranquil. It was a little tricky at first but then we sorted out the gps and it became super simple. The short trip down the hill to the market, or a little further into the lovely town of Lucca makes this location perfect to get away and enjoy simplicity or venture not too far out to experience the magic of the antiquity of Italy. We will come back again. We are so grateful for Susan, her family and, of course, the wonderful animals that greeted us upon arrival and every morning for coffee.

Lovely Tuscan Home in Hills
Had memorable week going to wineries, having cooking lesson (set up by our host Susan), going to a rare bookshop (set up by our cooking lesson instructor) and loving the scenery. What a place to relax, with lime growing outside your door and basil to put into your tuscan pasta sauce in the same pots. Close to Lucca and very comfortable place to stay!

Podere Consani
Located north of the historic, scenic, walled city of Lucca, this well appointed holiday cottage was our home for a week. With our rental car, we visited the Cinque Terre, villages along the coast, and the villas/palazzos north-east of Lucca. Its central location made it very easy to enjoy these cultural day trips, after a swim in the morning. We made great use of the pool, often twice a day or even more. The first week of October was still very warm and pleasant. The cottage had everything to cook, BBQ, be indoors or outdoors. It is spacious, has two double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. We did a load of laundry following our first holiday week. Susan was welcoming, a source of local knowledge, resourceful and happy to assist with all of our queries. The two other buildings are near, yet we felt secluded underneath the porch and on sun beds shielded by hedges and shrubs. The air around the cottage is heavy with the scent of flowers and herbs that grow in the well tended garden. We had a wonderful week and recommend this holiday property wholeheartedly.

Tuscan Adventure
Our visit to Podere Consani was all that we had hoped for. Just taking the winding road up to the property will put you in a different world. Surrounded by grape vines and olive trees made you realize you are now in Tuscany. Our cottage offered everything we needed to relax and experience a peaceful retreat. The beautiful pool was just out our back door to give us another way to unwind. The location also provided a very convenient homebase to wander in any direction to investigate Lucca and the surrounding areas. Our hosts, Susan and Lelio were delightful. They were always available and had wonderful suggestions on places to visit and fabulous restaurants to discover the local cuisine. Do not hesitate to take a trip to this Tuscan retreat. Ciao!

Beautiful Tranquil Setting
The accommodation 20 mins north of Lucca is in rural and tranquil setting with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. The property itself is well equipped, with two well sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The upstairs provides direct access to the shared pool and the properties shaded seating area. The kitchen has everything you need for your stay. It is a great location to unwind, relax and enjoy the sunshine or cook some food on the barbecue. We also loved the dogs and cats visiting us throughout our stay and the whole property has a lovely friendly vibe. The location allows for days trips in the Tuscan hills, local vineyards or to Lucca. From Lucca (as we did) you can get the train to Florence or elsewhere. Susan was great throughout our arrival and guided us to the cottage when we arrived. She was also helpful with suggestions where to visit and where we might eat. She additionally very helpfully booked a table at the local excellent Italian restaurant where you get a proper Italian experience. We really enjoyed our time at Podere Consani and would highly recommend.

Recipe for unplugging and unwinding
Podere Consani is a lovely place to unwind and recharge. It’s quiet and private even if the other guest house is occupied. Susan and family are wonderfully accommodating hosts. Always ready to suggest a restaurant, winery or things to see and do. Having fresh tomatoes from their garden and eggs for breakfast was a treat. We would highly recommend spending some time here!

the perfect farm stay for our family
The farm was an idyllic setting for a quiet week with our family. My kids loved the pool, the fruit trees and all the animals. My husband and I loved the tranquility of the property, which was the perfect antidote between our visits to cities. It's close enough to Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terra and many beaches for easy day trips if you're hoping to explore.

Magical place and client-oriented owner
We stayed off season (November) and can confirm, that the stay was pleasant even though we had a little child (2,5yo) and were concerned if the heating in the house would be sufficient. The owner set the heating sufficiently and we had a pleasant stay. The house and the whole property is magical and we recommend visit there. Note that it's an old house and although it's well maintained it happens that some equipment fails. We had a problem with toilet flushing and washing machine, but each issue was swiftly and proactively fixed by the owner and caused no issue to us, I very value this professional and client oriented approach. I would like to take opportunity to apologize the owner for accidentally braking the washing machine door handle and thank for the quick fix and no hassle. I should also note that we booked the property not only off season but also only one night prior to the arrival leaving the owner no time for preparation when I assume not much guests would be expected - even on such short notice everything was just perfect. We even got to swim in the pool by the late November :-) Thank you Susan.

Everything we hoped for!
The size and quality of the internal and external spaces at this property were ideal for a relaxing holiday, from the spacious and well-appointed living areas to the areas around the swimming pool. The immediate surroundings are beautiful, in the Tuscan hills with loads of fruit trees, olive groves and vineyards in all directions. Within 30 minutes you can be in the majestic Apuan Alps to the north, the coast to the west or lovely Lucca, a short 15 - 20 minute drive away. Susan was super friendly and provided a wealth of information throughout the booking process, during our stay and through to our departure. We will do everything we can to make a return trip to this property!

Couldn't have been better
We thank our lucky stars that we decided to stay at Podere Consani. We hoped that it would be quietly rural, pleasant and scenic, and it was all these things but so much more. Our hostess, Suzy, was immensely kind and helpful. She and her husband have a large family and friends who give the place a lot of life but manage to be completely unobtrusive. The estate is large, including a big swimming pool, an equestrian ring, the main house and two smaller houses that serve as the guest cottages. We were in the smaller one and it was more than amply big, lovely, comfortable and filled with the kitchen utensils and other items we needed to make for an easy stay. We could have stayed by the pool, swimming and drinking in the beauty, but fortunately Suzy, gave us wonderful advice about day trips which made our stay more interesting. Listen to her when she advises you to go to the Cinque Terre, you won't be sorry! In fact, listen to her ideas on all fronts. And take a bathing suit! Suzy is originally English but has lived in Italy with her family for a long time and really knows what's worth seeing and doing. We will remember this welcoming and beautiful place and have pictures in our minds of eating out on the porch, or viewing the lights of Lucca from the vinyard. Thank you, Suzy and family!

Tuscan charm with the benefit of great hosts
It’s been a busy busy year so we were looking forward to a break, and although we had a good idea of the area, nothing prepared us for Podere Consani. It overlooks hills and vales, surrounded by olive trees, and the cottage was enclosed in a wonderful sensory experience. Susan welcomed us warmly and after settling in was on hand to outline places we might like to explore. We were also warmly welcomed by her dogs, and they soon settled into our daily lives. We loved Luca, there was something new to discover each time we popped in either for breakfast or lunch. It is also a handy place to visit Pisa and Florence by train from. Another little hill town to explore is Bragga with its narrow streets and stunning views. When not out and about we enjoyed the space and tranquility of the cottage, it was well laid out, the kitchen area leading out to a terrace.and included the use of a pool. Susan was available if we had any questions about our accommodation but the cottage had everything we needed. We would most definitely recommend Podere Consani to anyone who is looking for charm, with views,the opportunity to learn more about Tuscany within a family setting. Thank you so much we will be looking forward to our next visit.
