Al Mennucci was originally an old hayloft which has recently been converted into a delightful cottage. It is located in a superb position, high in the hills, 15 kms to the south-east of Lucca, and surrounded by olive groves and pine trees. There are fantastic views over the countryside and the plain of Montecatini in the distance. Just 9 kms from the nearest motorway exit, it is also a perfect base for exploring the main Tuscan towns. Both the house and the pretty garden are exceptionally well-maintained by the owners, and the interiors are equipped with all modem facilities. The swimming pool, situated to one side of the house, is in a perfect position to enjoy the beautiful views. Close to the pool area, there is a stone- built barbecue and pizza oven, an outdoor shower and an outdoor dining area. Near the driveway, about 20 metres from the house, there is small guesthouse with a double bedroom and bathroom. The property is ideal for those looking for peace and tranquillity. The one kilometre unsealed road is not suitable for very low sports cars.
