Casa Luciana

Just minutes away from the town of Lappato, Casa Luciana is one of the most advisable properties for families with children who want to enjoy a relaxing stay in the Tuscan countryside. In the large, well groomed garden there is a conveniently furnished pergola with a wood oven and barbeque which make it the perfect setting for nice al fresco dinners. At the back of the house there is a large patio overlooking the property’s swimming pool area, which is completely fenced and therefore is also ideal for children’s safety. The pool is surrounded by trees and lawns and, in a shady position, there is a table tennis. The interior of the house has been furnished in a very comfortable way and all bedrooms are air-conditioned. In the basement a sauna and steam bath have been installed for the guests to relax. The helpful owners are available for any assistance and suggestions. During low season it is also possible to rent only a part of the house, accommodating up to 6 guests.

Villa Policies

• A refundable security deposit of €500 will be required in cash or traveler’s checks upon arrival at the villa
• ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE TIMES - Clients must arrive between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and leave before 10 a.m. on the day of departure.
• SWIMMING POOLS - Swimming pools are not open all year. If your rental period is outside the period May 30th to October 3rd, please check with us that the pool can be opened. Swimming pools are not enclosed with fences and there are no lifeguards. Clients’ use of the swimming pool is at their own risk.
• HEATING - Heating costs are not included in the price and must be paid directly on the spot to the owner or his/her representative before departing. Please note that heating in Italy, when not subject to restrictions by the local Government, is more expensive compared to other countries. If you look for a property in low season, make sure to ask for an estimate of the heating cost. You may be asked a supplementary deposit for heating expenses.
• WATER AND ELECTRICITY - Please note that most of the properties that we offer are not the typical purpose-built Mediterranean holiday villas. Most are converted farmhouses or former manor houses, full of character and history. Water shortages do occur; please use it sparingly during the summer months. At the same time, Italy is probably one of the few countries in the world where the government has introduced a system of electricity limitators to contain the national consumption. This means you must be careful when using more than one appliance at once because the limitator will shut the electricity off.
• INTERNET CONNECTION - Many of our properties have an internet connection. From our experience, when a connection is interrupted due to technical reasons beyond our control, it is unfortunately very difficult, despite our efforts, to receive immediate assistance from some of the internet providers operating in Italy. We therefore strongly suggest that those who need to access their emails should bring their own BlackBerry, or a similar portable device. Please note that in any case we cannot accept responsibility for lack of these services.

Getting There Transfers are available LOW SLUNG CARS - VANS - MINIBUSES - Most of our houses are located in the countryside. Some of them can be accessed only by unsealed roads and driveways. We therefore advise people intending to take a sports or low-slung car on holiday, to check with us first whether the access to the property allows for such a car. We advise against the use of vans and minibuses. Please always check with us, at the time of booking, if you are planning to use this type of vehicle when staying at one of our properties.
