About the home
This three bedroom house in the Tuscan hills is ideally situated for activities, relaxing or a mixture of both. The village of Vico Pancellorum is located only 20 minutes from the historic spa town of Bagni di Lucca. The village is car free, as the cobbled streets are too narrow for vehicles. The house is a short walk from the car park through cobbled streets going downhill and uphill.
There is a patio that overlooks the mountains and the pool. On the balcony is a gas barbecue for quick meals or full banquets depending on your fancy. The garden is private and hosts fruit trees. There is plenty of room for children to play, explore and have wonderful adventures in a car free environment.

The Tuscany / Lucca Province region


Tuscany is very well known among tourists. Not only for cities like Florence, Pisa and Siena, but also for its rich history and the outstanding wines from this region.
Lucca is a walled city located about 45km from the house. It has great shopping, cafes, bars, restaurants and piazzas (squares). Bike riding is the best way to see Lucca, and bike hire can be found near the city gates
(porte).
The Bagni di Lucca area
In and around Vico Pancellorum there are long walks through the hills which make a fine start to the day or a lovely stroll in the evening.
There is a fabulous restaurant in the village of Vico Pancellorum itself - a must to eat at more than once - http://tinyurl.com/38ryr2e
Antique markets are held on weekends in surrounding towns as well as Lucca. Lucca antique market is held on the third Sunday of every month in Piazza San Glusto and Piazza Antelminelli.
The Lucca Summer Music Fesival is fabulous. Concerts are held in Lucca throughout July in the evening. This year’s line-up included Elton John, Joss Stone, George Michael, Norah Jones, Ricky Martin, Steely Dan to name just a few. Tickets can be booked on the internet at www.ticketone.it.
The closest beach is located about an hour and 15 minutes away from the house at Camaiore. In July and August it is usually very crowded but in other months it may be very peaceful. The Cinque Terre is five beautiful hilltop villages along the Italian coastline. It is a great place for walking and swimming. They are located around 2 hours away depending on traffic.
Abetone is a great place for skiing and snowboarding in the winter as well a summer sport in the warmer months. Coming out of Vico turn left onto the main road and continue driving until you come to Abetone - approximately 30 minutes away.
The thermal spas - Terme Bagni di Lucca is worth a visit event just to have a tour of the natural stream grottoes (caves). A number of thermal treatments are also available including massages, facial and body treatments and beauty services, all at a cost. The thermal pool is also open to the public for a cost.
The canyon of Orrido di Borti - qualified guides lead excursions through this valley, very narrow and sunken created by erosion. Look for road signs on the main road on the left coming to Vico from Bagni di Lucca.
There are some great river spots to swim and fish between Bagni di Lucca and Vico (one good spot is near Ponte Maggio). Although cold in the cooler months, it is very refreshing and a beautiful place to swim.

Guestbook for 29 Via Guna
Greetings from your beautiful home in Vico. We have so enjoyed our time here in this lovely village. My husband has gone for long walks every morning.......while I lounge by the pool w the kids. We have met lovely people here and love the local restaurant. You have done a beautiful job on the house.We look forward to returning. Joan Kelly August 2011
We had a wonderful time in the villa in Vico, and we just loved what you have done with the place and the quiet and relaxed atmosphere in the small town. We went to Buca de Baldabo restuarant several times and enjoyed the hospitality and great meals with Louisa’s superb guidance. Finn West Møller July 2011
What a lovely house in the most stunning setting. The house was full of lovely personal touches, a home from home. We enjoyed a week here and didn't want to go home. It provided an excellent base for discovering the north of Tuscany. Lucca was within easy reach for a day of sightseeing and relaxation. The villagers were welcoming and the restaurant at the bottom of the village was amazing. The day spent lounging by the pool was fantastic, even my 6 month old baby enjoyed himself! Many thanks for a lovely stay. Emily, Bobby and family June 2011
We had a brilliant time in Vico. It is such a beautiful place and a spectacular view. The restaurant had terrific food and Luisa is a delightful lady. She was very helpful with information and her food was great. We had some long walks around the bush in the area and went to the village on the next mountain. That castle was amazing at night.
You have done an amazing job with the decoration in the house it is just the best place to live with everything so cosy and aesthetically pleasing and that bathroom with the view over the hills.... just spectacular. Thanks also for all your information in the book. We went to the Puccini concert in Lucca which was a real highlight. We loved the pub in Bacni di Lucca - they did great pizzas ! Just can't thank you enough for creating such a wonderful place to share. Lyn and David Bryant Australia
We had a fantastic time at your house in Vico this past week! Your house is very beautiful and cozy - we all fell in love with it. You have done a wonderful job making it a welcoming and comfortable place to stay. we all felt at home and completely relaxed, what a great way to spend a vacation! Amy, Italy
Well we are back from Italy and although it was only 8 days we had an absolutely wonderful time!
Your house is fantastic - we adored it! Such a mixture of the old and the new, and so very comfortable! Luisa at the restaurant was so helpful, what a lovely woman she is. Not to mention the food - wow, it was delicious and we ate there often! Ellen, Dylan and Mia, New Zealand
Catherine from Italy - ‘Che vista bella!’ ‘What a beautiful view!’ Spectacular views, great kitchen, bathroom and coffee machine. The linen in the main bedrooms is very luxurious. Loved the Tuscan with an Asian twist décor. The local restaurant is tasty with many authentic dishes. I will be recommending this wonderful charming villa to all my friends. A great place to relax!
In this stunning part of Italy sits Vico Pancellorum, a charming village with winding, cobbled streets, pastel-coloured houses and a photograph at every turn. Perfect for a relaxing break, the house is spacious and very
well-appointed with tasteful furnishings. Views are breathtaking. The local family-run restaurant serves the best food; pasta is hand made daily. White truffles, rabbit and wild boar are sourced locally off the mountain and the house wine is inexpensive and very good. We explored the local towns and villages, which have excellent, good value, coffee shops and restaurants. Lucca was especially splendid with an antique fair and great shopping. The re-opened, ancient spa at Bagna di Lucca is a must. Local delicatessens are a treasure trove of gourmet delights.mWe loved it and will certainly return for another peaceful stay. Lynn and Glenn Taylor. England.
