Great location for anybody looking to explore Tuscany and beyond into this part of Italy. Lucca is beautiful and only 10 mins down the road by car, Pisa just 30-40 mins away and Florence an hour. Viareggio and the beaches are 50 mins. The house itself is in a very quiet, peaceful location close to some of the most stunning villas in Italy - and with a number of decent pizzerias within a few mins walk. There is an excellent supermarket 3 mins by car. Tea Rose house is comfortable enough; three decent sized bedrooms with good beds. Wifi was good. The kitchen was a little basic, but perfectly practical. The lack of stand up shower was a slight frustration, but there is a shower head for use in the bath. The owners are lovely - very welcoming. The addition of plums and cucumbers form the garden was welcome and it was great to know people were on hand should any issues arise - not that they did. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others, and we will certainly be back to Lucca again!

Adding a shower curtain and wall mounted shower would be a bonus. Including wine glasses in the kitchen would also be good.
