Week long stay at Podere Consani
Posted Oct. 28, 2024 on HomeAwayWe 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!

Podere Casani
Posted Jul. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayA 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
Posted May 8, 2024 on HomeAwayOur 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.

Best Ever
Posted Apr. 16, 2024 on HomeAwayWe really loved our visit. Susan is a super hostess and was very helpful in making our visit so much fun. She set up cooking lessons and a pasta dinner for us at the property. She gave us good advice for trips, and even gave us good parking advice. And so much more.

La Docé di Niente - the sweetness of doing nothing...
Posted Oct. 25, 2023 on HomeAwayOur 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
Posted Oct. 21, 2023 on HomeAwayHad 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
Posted Oct. 12, 2023 on HomeAwayLocated 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
Posted Oct. 12, 2023 on HomeAwayOur 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!

Rural Tuscany
Posted Aug. 9, 2023 on HomeAwayBrilliant location. 30mins or less to amazing beaches/coastline, lovely Lucca and many more places that we didn't have time to visit.
It's a charming property, and Sue is a wonderful host, with fantastic recommendations.
