CASA BRUNA

Lovely country house on hillside between Lucca and Pisa close to the small hamlet of Santa Maria. Despite its private and quiet position it offers nice rural settings and the convenience of being only a 15 minutes drive from Lucca and the international airport of Pisa. It has been recently restored, retaining the original beamed ceilings and antique cotto floor tiles. It is equipped with all modern comforts and furnished in a very attractive country house style.

The property consists of two houses: the main house with a living room and with a fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen, a bathroom in the ground floor and 1 double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, 1 double bedroom, 1 twin, 1 bathroom in the upper floor; the guest house with 1 double bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 small living room and kitchen. A beautiful swimming pool (13 x 7 meters) with diving board and garden furniture is available. Large terraced gardens with lawns and flowering shrubs surround the house and beyond them the olive groves and the vineyards. A covered verandah with barbecue is ideal for al fresco eating and close to the pool there is a wood-house with bar for cold drinking. For hiking fans there are paths for a 4 to 7 hours walk up to the mountains just starting from the house, with spectacular views.
