The Witches Of Monte Matanna

If you have diverse interests, Tuscany is a holiday destination that really tends to provide. It is an immensely cultured place, full of art, architecture, history, traditions and music, the food is delicious, the scenery is stunning, the attractions are various and fun, and there are endless outdoor pursuits to enjoy. If your interests lie in taking in the great outdoors, getting some exercise and taking in great views as well as all things a little darker and spookier, then there is one particular Tuscan location that you are bound to enjoy. Monte (or Mount) Matanna, a mountain in the Apuan Alps, in the province of Lucca, offers some rather starkly different activities: hiking and witch hunting. Just find a villa with pool in Lucca and combine the two interests in one trip.

Those who find a villa in Lucca will quickly discover that this part of the region is one with a long list of wineries that boast both incredible wines and wonderful tastings/tours to choose from all throughout the stunning surrounding landscape. Wine-lovers considering booking one of our Tuscany villas, therefore, will have lots of options when it comes to finding places to learn about, sample, savour, and buy some truly remarkable vintages during their vacation in Lucca.

While there are, indeed, lots of brilliant wineries to choose from, one of the top-rated examples has to Fattoria Al Dotto, which has been run by the Del Dotto family for many, many generations. Made of three ancient farms that have since been combined into one rather extraordinary wine estate, Fattoria Al Dotto extends over 62 acres of fertile farmland where you can find vineyards, olive groves, corn fields, and fields of cannellini beans. The vineyards are positioned on the gentle hills surrounding the centre of the farm, where there is a spectacular south-southwest exposure, and in close proximity to the Serchio river. Through this area, the Scirocco winds coming in from Livorno to the south and the summer Maestrale winds coming in from the north-west blow and result in a particular micro climate that is ideal for good maturation of the grapes. All in all, the vineyards here boast perfect conditions to produce some truly remarkable wines.

The pretty and historic centre of Lucca is a lovely place to wander and explore if you have found a villa with pool in Lucca and are getting to know the area but, as you stroll around, you may soon find yourself quickly working up an appetite. If you are in need of refuelling while discovering the ancient and picturesque core of the city, then we highly recommend a visit to the charming Osteria Tosca, particularly if you happen to be headed to the nearby Puccini Museum that is a mere stone's throw away from the restaurant.

Osteria Tosca is located right in the centre of Lucca, in the Piazza Cittadella, next to the statue of beloved composer and lauded Lucchese son, Giacomo Puccini, who was born in a house only a few yards away. Cosy and inviting, the restaurant has a small garden area and an intimate interior and serves up the best of the tasty and wholesome home cooking from Lucca. Grab a seat inside in the pretty and romantic interior or relax at a table outside and take in the lovely surroundings and people-watch as typical scenes of Tuscan life unfold before you. Once you have settled in, you can then sit back, unwind, and enjoy a pleasant lunch or a relaxing evening tasting the menu of delicious local classics, paired with some great local wines, all at extremely fair prices.

Museums, galleries, palaces, restaurants, wineries: these are probably the locations that first come to mind when picturing spending time in Tuscany. However, that beautiful and iconic landscape that Tuscany is famous for needs to be ventured out into and explored. Driving around or heading to outdoor activities like kayaking, zip lining, horse riding, and more are one way to experience it but an excellent way to see the landscape at its most beautiful is by going hiking. One particularly lovely place to go hiking is Pania della Croce.

This mountain in the Apuan Alps is the highest peak in the Panie Group, located not far from the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea and boasts views over Monviso, Monte Amiata, Corsica and the coastline on very clear days. For those who have found a holiday rental in Lucca or a villa rental on the Tuscan Coast, and who are looking to take in the majestic natural beauty of Tuscany, it is the perfect spot for a hike.

La Fabbrica Di San Martino: Is This The Prettiest Vineyard In Tuscany?

La Fabbrica di San Martino is a beautiful vineyard nestled among the lush rolling hills just north-west of Lucca around 5km from the city centre, in an area called the Colline Lucchesi (Lucca Hills), which is a DOC wine region in Tuscany. At the centre of the estate is an 18th century villa and surrounding it are grounds that stretch over 20 hectares and encompass vineyards, olive groves, a forest, gardens and more. The estate, itself, is a stunning place to explore and spend time but it is also home to a vineyard and winery that produce celebrated wines. If you have found a luxury villa in Lucca and are looking for the perfect setting for some wine-tasting, it is an excellent option. Come and sit back and relax, take in the wonderful views, sip some wine, try some local delicacies, and meet the friendly staff members and the cute furry pals that live on the estate.

A distinctive feature of many medieval towns that you will come across while staying in one of our Tuscany Villas are remnants or great sections of the ancient walls that once protected these towns. In Lucca, for example, there are still large stretches of these old walls around and throughout the town that not only add to the romantic historic atmosphere but also boast charming walkways, great views, and even more. For those who book a villa in Lucca and particularly those who might be considering travelling during the autumn months, time should definitely be set aside to wander about and explore this incredible feature of this beautiful town.

The apartment was everything we had hoped for. It was spacious, stylish and had excellent facilities. The entrance was rather uninviting but after climbing the forty or so steps up to the apartment, you are rewarded with a gem of a find for your stay in Lucca. There are several shops nearby, including a bakers, a butchers, greengrocers and general store. There are many restaurants to choose from and we enjoyed those recommended by the apartment owners.

We loved our time in Lucca and especially loved the apartment. It is newly decorated so it was modern, clean with excellent kitchen and bathroom facilities. I think the apartment had the best location in town overlooking restaurants and shops in the amphitheatre below. Bruno the owner was so helpful and really made us feel welcome and provided us with map and he gave us advice on where and what to do in Lucca. Photo below of us looking out of apartment window.

Anfiteatro 62 was in the ideal location in Lucca right in the centre, so we could walk to everything including public transport. The main bedroom, bathroom and living area were well appointed with nice natural light. The living area had plenty of space for four people with nice touches. The attic bedroom and bathroom were a bit cramped due to the low ceiling. I would not recommend this area for anyone tall as it would be quite annoying. Bruno the owner was very helpful giving us a range of suggestions for cafes and excursions.
