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.

This stay was idyllic and everything that was promised. Privacy, serenity and beautiful surroundings. Loads to do in the area and off the beaten track enough to have a sanctuary from tourism. Susan was the hostess with the mostess. Always there for suggestions, but never intruding. Her family are quintessential Italian and we loved hearing her grandchildren calling each other across the garden, hearing the neigh of the horses and next doors donkey in the distance. If you like some solitude with your surroundings this is the place for you. We will be back.

Wundervoll!

It was a wonderful holiday, thank you very much!Both the sea and the numerous tourist hotspots are easy to reach by car, but the house itself is located in the quiet hinterland.The landlady is a soul of a person, you always felt welcome and in good hands.And finally: the property brings back the atmosphere of all those Hollywood films which, if we're honest, also draw us to Tuscany.So we would love to come back!Es war ein wundervoller Urlaub, vielen Dank!Sowohl das Meer als auch die zahlreichen touristischen Hotspots sind mit dem Auto gut zu erreichen, das Haus liegt aber selbst im ruhigen Hinterland.Die Vermieterin ist eine Seele von Mensch, man fühlte sich immer willkommen und gut aufgehoben.Und schließlich: das Anwesen bringt die Stimmung all der ganzen Hollywoodfilme wieder nah, welche uns, wenn wir ehrlich sind, auch in die Toskana ziehen.Also, wir kommen gerne wieder!

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!

Urlaub mitten in der Natur

Ein sehr schöner Ort, der sich seine Ursprünglichkeit bewahrt hat. Die Gastgeberin Susan und ihre Familie sind immer zur Stelle mit Tipps rund um den Aufenthalt und legen viel Wert darauf dass sich die Gäste wohl fühlen. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub, von schönen Tagen am Meer (Fahrzeit ca. 40 Min.), Kultur in Florenz und dem nicht weniger schönen Lucca und auch erholsamen Tagen im und ums Haus.

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.

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!

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!

Entspannung inmitten der Natur

Wir hatten eine traumhafte Woche in diesem niedlichen Häuschen inmitten idyllischer toskanischer Landschaft. Unsere zwei Kinder im Teenageralter hatten großen Spaß im Pool. Susan ist eine unglaublich herzliche und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Diese Unterkunft ist ideal für Urlauber die die Nähe zur Natur genießen und fernab jeglichen Trubels enspannen wollen. Trotzdem liegen die Städte Lucca, Pisa und auch Florenz ganz nah.

Vacances en terre et mer

Magnifique lieu de villégiature dans une magnifique nature. Ce lieu est magique, on s'y sent tout de suite très bien. Nous avons savouré chaque instant dans la maison La Capanna, entourée d'un magnifique jardin et d'une grande piscine, juste génial! La maison est très bien équipée et propre. Susan est d'une grande générosité, et nous avons pu profiter des ses bons conseils pour visiter des lieux typiques de la région. Le bord de mer n'est pas si loin, et il faut compter environ 20 minutes en voiture pour se rendre à Lucca. Le domaine est splendide, calme et il y fait bon vivre. Nous recommandons fortement ce lieu pour passer des moments de détentes et apprécier la dolce vita en toute simplicité.

Traumhaftes toskanisches Haus mit allerliebsten Gastgebern

Ich habe mich gleich bei der Ankunft in das Häuschen verliebt mit seinen Holzbalken, Holztüren, dem Steinboden... Es duftet nach Lavendel und wer auch noch Tiere mag, der ist hier genau richtig. Gastgeberin Susan sowie der Rest der Familie sind wirklich so lieb und hilfsbereit. Für Kinder gibt es viele Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten neben dem Pool (Trampolin, Tischtennis, Schaukel, Seilbahn). Lucca erreicht man in 25 Minuten und auch ein Ausflug ans Meer ist möglich.

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.

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.

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.
