The house is situated high in the mountains. Go there over small streets. Beautiful environment. Peacefull and silent stay. Also a place from where you can visit a lot of other places. Altough other places seems not far, it’s always longer driving because of all the circles around the mountains. To come somewhere take more time. Overall a beautiful and good place with friendly owners.

Very nice, spacious and charming cityhouse. We were very welcomed by one og the hosts and given an introduction to the house and the environment including suggestions to beaches and restaurants. Questions before and during the stay were promptly replied by the host. Wonderful Lucca and the sandy beaches at Via Reggio are around a half an hour drive away. Casa Afra is a great place to stay for a vacation

We stayed for a week in this lovely, spacious house not far from Lucca. The views are spectacular and the house has lots of sitting out space - a table where you can eat outside in all weathers, a rocking chair with a view down the valley, another table in the sun, a hammock and loungers, not to mention a ping pong table for the more active. There is also a very friendly visiting cat. Finding the house was challenging, as you have to negotiate many switchback bends and then find the single track road on which it sits, but once there we felt completely at home. Flight delays meant that we arrived late and in the dark, and we were pleasantly surprised to find a delicious courgette cake (speciality of the region) and a packet of coffee, as well as a bottle of the owners' delicious olive oil. Our week flew by and we spent time in Lucca (markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays), as well as visiting Florence by train from Lucca and the local sights. We had a fabulous meal at Valentino's Restaurant up the hill, which is an easy walk away and offers gargantuan portions of delicious local food. We wished we could have stayed longer and highly recommend Nonna Afra for a peaceful holiday.
