Nestled in the ancient village of Santa Maria del Giudice, just a fifteen-minute drive from Pisa and Lucca, this delightful home is the perfect escape. It sits on a cobbled corner beside the village's majestic church tower and promises romance with its rose-tinted facade. Step through the elaborate arched doorway and discover an exquisitely renovated, light-filled interior. Lofty ceilings, exposed timber beams and a free-flowing layout create an ambience of tranquillity, tied together by a calming pistachio hue. We love the open-plan living space, with its blend of ornate vintage and mid-century modern decor. Past the bedroom, concealed by a pair of bookshelves, the tile-clad kitchen exudes authentic charm and beckons you to dabble in the art of Italian cuisine. Outside, a furnished street-facing terrace offers a front-row seat to village life – the perfect place to sip your morning espresso before a day of adventure.

Home truths
Some guests felt that the kitchen wasn't very well equipped here. If you're planning to cook, we'd recommend bringing a few basic essentials with you. That said, the kitchen is on the small side, so it's not the best for cooking large meals.
The bedroom is only separated with a curtain from the rest of the living area.
The bathroom here is also quite small.
Some guests said that parking here was challenging, even for compact vehicles.

About Lucca
Lucca is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Surrounded by fortified walls, its core is a warren of pretty piazzas, traditional Tuscan trattorias, and beautifully preserved churches.
