The house has a floor area of 160 sq m. The ground floor comprises a large lounge and dining area, with comfortable seating and solid dark wood and wicker furniture , and a fully fitted kitchen with painted wood and marble surfaces. There is also a laundry room and downstairs wc. The central stairs lead to the first floor with 3 large king size bedrooms, with either double or twin beds ( all beds can be arranged as either double or twins). One bedroom is en suite with bath, separate shower and twin basins, wc and bidet. There is another bathroom on the first floor with shower, basin, bidet and wc. The bathrooms have been decorated similarly to A Chele with coloured stucco walls and tasteful lighting and chestnut beams, terracotta tiled floors, Carrara marble surfaces, shower walls and floors with high quality bathroom fittings.
The property is easily accessible via a short rural gravel road 300m from the nearest main road - an easy flat 15 minute drive to Lucca and 30 mins from Pisa Airport .
