La Lucertola

We very enjoyed our 2 weeks stay at La Lucertola guest house. The view and surroundings are just perfect if you want to switch off for a while. The pool is great and the house is simple but tastefully decorated. Luisa and Colin were great hosts. They were on the site but gave their guests a lot of space to be by themselves. Lots of great food delis locally. The only flaw is the drive up - but it is totally worth the effort for the amazing view. We had restaurant at home organised by the hosts which was delicious. Do try their olive oil!

What a lovely place! We had such a great holiday. The house is in such a wonderful setting, set high amongst olive trees and overlooking Pisa. Happiness is sitting on the balcony in the evening drinking a cup of tea. The children were delighted with having a pool in their back garden. Colin and Luisa are welcoming and friendly hosts. I would definitely recommend this special place.

This place is a little slice of heaven! From the moment my family arrived we were taken in by the beautiful surroundings. Luisa and Colin were the perfect hosts. As soon as we stepped out of the car they were there to greet us and made us all feel so welcome. You just got the feeling that nothing would be too much trouble. The views are absolutely amazing and the pool area was great. We loved cooking on the wood stove and eating on the terrace, while staring at the views of Pisa and the coast behind it. The accommodation was lovely and the kitchen well stocked. Hope to return one day......

La Lucertola is a truly special place to stay - the house is situated among ancient terraced olive groves with plenty of areas to sit and relax in the shade of olive trees or in the sunshine on the terrace by the pool. Inside, the beautifully decorated house was extremely comfortable and we woke each morning to the fragrance of jasmine blossom. We enjoyed many evenings watching the fireflies from the patio, and experimenting with the woodfired pizza oven. There are lovely walks through the olive groves directly from the house. Our 5 yr old particularly enjoyed the Parco di Pinocchio (30 mins)
