A secret sweet idyllic retreat for 2 couples with private pool & air conditionin
Stay in the heart of the Tuscan countryside at COCCINELLE FARMHOUSE, a short drive from Lucca -just 7 kms or 10 mins by car- to enjoy the lush greenery of the Tuscan countryside being very close to Lucca city centre (and other major Tuscan sites) at the same time! The gate in the antique stone low wall that encloses the little estate leads you to this two-bedroom farmhouse, immersed in a hillside with stunning views of the area around Lucca. The recently restored interiors strike a balance between picturesque traditional style and sleeker contemporary lines.
A 10 metres pool is the centerpiece of the villa’s outdoor spaces, tucked into olive groves. Spend an afternoon in a chaise longue by the pool, and enjoy an al fresco dinner at the table there or outside the kitchen. For ambience, there’s a fireplace in the living room; for convenience, there’s Wi-Fi access: very fast and super reliable provided by the national phone company.
Coccinelle's interiors pair fresh white walls and furnishings with original stone walls, beamed ceilings and pops of color via cushions and flowers.
ON THE GROUND FLOOR, the living room’s focal point is the large fireplace and the huge french window overlooking the olive groves, once entrance for horses, while the dining room’s big windows open to the garden and pool. The fully equipped kitchen has modern appliances and contemporary lines in its sleek, pale-wood cabinets. A big bathroom with shower and a big laundry room equipped with iron, board and washing machine is also on the ground floor.
ON THE FIRST FLOOR, you’ll find two bedrooms (one with aking size bed and one with two twin beds) plus anbother bathroom with tub and shower.
The villa is located in a walking distance from a tipical famous grocery store selling local harvested fruit and vegetables, local cheeses and salami as well as any kind of items like a small supermarket. The villa is less than 1 km from other shops, bank, restaurants, pizzerias, ice crema shop, bar and post office in the village of SAN LEONARDO IN TREPONZIO and PIEVE DI COMPITO and just 7 kms from the city centre of Lucca. Take a day trip to the shores of Viareggio beach, about 25 mins away, or to Florence in 35 mins driving or to PISA in just 20 mins. The closest train station is in 7 kms from the villa, less than a 10 min drive.

Great base to explore a beautiful part of Tuscany
We very much enjoyed our stay here. It is a great place to come home to after a busy day of visiting Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Monte Carlo just to mention a few. The owners, who live next door, are very friendly and welcoming.

Great location for exploring Tuscany
We met Stefano who owns the villa and Filippo who manages the villa on arrival. They were both so welcoming and even had toys for our kids to play with. The villa is gorgeous and very clean, warm with everything you need.
We explored all of Tuscany and this villa was the perfect location to be based out of.
We hope to make this a regular trip and will definitely return to Stefanos villa again

Wundervoller Urlaub
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in Stefanos Haus. Er wohnt direkt nebenan und war immer sehr hilfsbereit! Die Außenanlage mit Pool war super, im Haus gab es alles was man braucht und die Klimaanlage war sehr hilfreich bei den warmen Temperaturen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und viele gute Restaurants sind im Umkreis schnell zu erreichen. Wir empfehlen diese Unterkunft gerne weiter und danken dir, Stefano für die schöne Zeit!

the Tuscan sun at the coccinelle farmhouse
The villa is historic and beautiful. The location is fantastic, the staff and owner gracious and helpful, cannot do enough for your comfort and enjoyment. A perfect location. Near Florence and Cinque Terre as well as the Ligurian Sea and beaches. An easy drive to the historic mountain townsto wonderful Chianti country. It is even easy to make a run for Rome for a few days. Maybe the best was sitting byin the pool reading a good book and enjoying a glass of delicious red and the Tuscan sun in complete solitude on the big hill overlooking Lucca

Beautiful, quiet and tranquil a dream location
We stayed here with our little boy of 5 and his grandparents, the pool was definitely a great place for the whole family to gather and cool down in the heat. The owner lives next door and he was really friendly and helpful if we need him for anything. We had comlplete privacy all day everyday it was brilliant. The quiet location was great. The house was immaculate, beautiful linen in the bedrooms and crockery all lovely. We got used to the times in which the mosquitoes were around and avoided those times outside. Lots of places very accessible by car, Lucca, Pisa, Collodi. Hotter than usual for this time of year but not uncomfortable, we kept the house cool during the day keeping the shutters closed. We would definitely return to the beautiful farmhouse

A pleasure to be Sonia's guests
My husband and I spotted the advert and Coccinelle Farmhouse looked delightful. We made enquiries and Sonia replied quickly with exactly the details we needed. As our travelling arrangements were a bit complicated she was very helpful, always giving us contact numbers and making everything run smoothly. When we arrived the property was even more attractive than we expected, and both Sonia and Cristina knew just how much to chat with us and give us space and privacy. It was fascinating to discover about the wine and Olive Oil that they produce, and it is well worth trying (shame we did not have room to take much more home!). Very helpful, friendly and efficient. We enjoyed so much that we decided to spend another week into another of their properties. A pleasure to be their guests.

Charming homey farmhouse in an excellent location
We spent a week here at the beginning of December. The bedrooms are cosy and nice and each one has windows with lovely views of the countryside. The walls outside our room was covered in rosemary and jasmine which must smell amazing in the summer.
The farmhouse also has a large, well-equipped kitchen-diner and a comfortable sitting / dining room with a charming fireplace that adds a charming homey feeling. It really is just 10 minutes away from Lucca town, yet surrounded by beautiful gardens. Nearby shops stock everything you'll need, and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance. Several bus services pass within a couple of minutes' walk, and we found the buses to be regular and reliable.
The owner has left notes around the house to help you deal with plumbing, electricity etc. We followed the instructions and had no problems. I am glad we met Mrs Sonia and we will definitely be renting again from her for your trip next winter.

Perfect stay
This place is flat out wonderful! Not only it is clean and neat and lovingly cared for, but look around you! Every little detail is done to perfection. In short, it's just what you want a tuscan villa in a 17st century Tuscan hillside hamlet to look like. The pictures on here do not do this place justice. Having a car is great so you can explore all the famous hill towns as well as Lucca town centre and its wine country, all of which are easy day trips. Lucca town centre is at less than 15 mins drive! We espe-cially enjoyed Lucca and Montecarlo. The nearby village is nice to see and provides you with an excellent supermarket and amazing little groceris and easy access to roads leading everywhere. Sonia is on the premises every day to guide you around the area, providing very helpful information on parking, tours, restaurants, etc. She totally understands customer service and obviously enjoys being the co-proprietor of this lovely place. She might even give you a whiff of his own homegrown and heavenly olive oil. On the sad day when we left the villa, I promised Sonia I would write him a glowing review and recommend it to everyone. And indeed I do! Thank you Sonia for a memorable week in Tuscany!

The house was beautiful
The house was beautiful and had all the amenities you would need for a week stay. Stefan was very helpful and welcoming and was on hand when needed. It would be useful to rent a car, as the house is further out of Lucca although there is a bus stop (5 mins walk away) with a direct route so we never had an issue. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would recommend to anyone!

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus
Das Haus ist top ausgestattet, sehr sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Klimaanlage in den Schlafzimmern ist sehr angenehm an heißen Tagen. Der großzügige Garten mit Pool ist ein Traum! Es ist ruhig gelegen, allerdings gibt es auch keine Restaurants oder Lebensmittelgeschäfte in unmittelbarer Nähe.
Stefano ist ein sehr herzlicher Gastgeber und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Besonders gefreut hat uns, dass uns jeden Tag 2 sehr zutrauliche Katzen besucht haben.

If you're looking for a great get away place this would be the place for you.
There is a shop not far away if you go by car and a few nice places to eat, would definitely recommend La Cantina di Alfredo. The house was clean and cozy. If it would have been a bit warmer the pool would have been great to swim in, but waking up with a cup of coffee next to the pool was also a great way to start your day. Looking forward to coming back someday!

Very beautiful house for relaxed vacation
The house is located in a beautiful tuscan surrounding, with many trees, calm but not too far away from the next food store. It has a really neat look and feel and is perfect for four people and very (very) clean. The owner's cat sometimes says hello, especially if food is involved. The pool site is surrounded by plants, which is perfect, if you are looking for a place to chill and relax. Thanks for a really pleasant stay.
A second umbrella at the pool would be perfect. Also, if people want to spend more time at the table outside during the day, a pavillion might be useful. But this is just a suggestion to make it even better.

Schönes Rustico in traumhafter Lage
Perfekt für Familie mit zwei Kindern. Pool und Gartendusche mit Warmwasser sind ein Traum! Die kühlen Nächte im Juni machen die Klimaanlage unnötig. Nachts hört man nur die Turmglocken in der Ferne und wird morgens von den Vögeln sanft geweckt. Was will man mehr?

A Villa and people beyond words
We have returned home from a fantastic 2 weeks in Tuscany wishing that we had spent two weeks in Tuscany! The Farmhouse Coccinelle (what a funny name!) was the perfect pla-ce for our family of 4 (all adults) to relax, unwind, and enjoy the beauty of the house. Thanks to the loving care that Sonia put into this property, we hated to leave! Upon our ar-rival, we received a great orientation about the area and the rich history of the home. We were also given cell phones and a preprogrammed GPS (very helpful!) to use for the week that we requested in advance to Mrs Cristina. Thanks to Cristina, we had a deli-cious meal delivered to the villa to enjoy our first night. This was money well spent as we were tired from our long trip. We took day trips to Lucca (very close), Florence, Pisa and Cinque Terre. Sonia has all of the directions for these destinations at the villa. We enjoy-ed all of the day trips, but hated to leave the beautiful villa. After we returned from our day trips, the kids headed straight for the pool with a garden and setting that is beyond words. When we travel, we really enjoy getting to know the people who live in the area and seeing how they live. We enjoyed using our limited Italian to talk to the neighbors...they were very friendly and kind...one even brought us fresh figs from her garden...yum! Another group invited me to sit down with them as I was returning from my morning run. A highlight of the trip was the barbeque party at the villa. Cristina fired up bbq and taught us how to make the best meat that we have ever had. It was fun to chat with her about life in Italy...a night that we will always remember. Finally, we all slept like babies at the villa...it is quiet! The only sounds you hear in the morning are birds and roosters...wonderful! The beds were extremely comfortable with fresh linen sheets. We loved our visit...
Very Grateful Mark and Stephanie, your guests in November 2018

Three visits to Coccinelle Farmhouse
For three glorious vacations (October 2016, October 2017 & October 2018), my family and I trave-led to Italy and stayed in this delightful home. Coccinelle Farmhouse has all the charm of the Tu-scan countryside: sunshine on your face, open fields to roam and culinary experiences to share. The villa gave our family (3 generations) plenty of room to congregate and enough places for a little privacy. All three years I traveled with my bicycle, wandering through many of the villages that sur-round Lucca and never did get to see all the places I wanted to. The house is situated between the flatlands of the coastal waters and the hilly region of Lucca; an excellent location for the true cyclist. My family and I were particularly pleased with our host, Sonia who shared with us the Italian way besides providing an immaculate home. From harvesting olives to a performance of a Puccini ope-ra to a local blacksmith making tools, they gave us an insider’s look at this beautiful country. We learned how to make pizza in a stone oven, tasted wine only the locals know about and stepped on-to the Ponte del Diavolo (Devil’s Bridge). So bring your book if you need some down time by the pool, bring your appetite to eat all the delicious offerings, bring your intellect to study the arts and don’t forget your sense of adventure to discover all that Italy that is known for. This is THE place!-

Tolles kleines Haus in dörflicher Lage
Wir sind mit 2 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern dort gewesen. Für das Haus die optimale Belegungszahl. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Vor allem der liebevoll angelegte Garten mit dem Pool, den Sitzgelegenheiten und der Grillecke. Der Blick in die Landschaft ist schön. Ein kleiner Minimarket ist zu Fuß zu erreichen, ein größerer in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto und nach Lucca fährt man ca. 20 Min.. In einem Gartenhaus findet man allerlei Nützliches zum Spielen und Dinge für den Pool, z.B. Luftmatratzen. Hervorheben möchte ich den Eigentümer: Stefano. Er wohnt nebenan und ist eine Seele von Mensch. Man kann ihn alles fragen, er nimmt sich Zeit und bleibt immer höflich zurückhaltend. Kann ich das Haus empfehlen? Ja, kann ich und ich wünsche jedem viel Spaß, der dort seine Zeit verbringt.

Schöne Ferien
Die Unterkunft ist wie auf den Fotos zu sehen. Das Haus ist sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Begrüßung von Christina und Stefano war gut. Garten und Pool sind gepflegt. die Lage ist außerhalb an einer recht befahrenen Landstraße. Zu berücksichtigen bei der Buchung sind die Extrakosten wie Endreinigung von 80 Euro sowie die Nebenkosten für Strom.

A delightful country retreat
The house is quite charming and well equipped although the bathrooms could benefit from a little modernisation and the second bedroom is definitely for children only. Stefano (The Owner) is at hand to deal with any problems as he lives next door - in fact you share a drive and we saw him every day. Cristina was there to welcome us and give us a pretty comprehensive introduction to the property and the area.
It is fair to say that the situation of the property is very rural. There is a small bar a couple of minutes away and a well stocked local mini-market just around the corner, however there are no restaurants within easy walking distance and even if you did fancy a half hour brisk walk, the roads are quite busy and not particularly walker-friendly (no verges so you are walking on the road), but there are a number of restaurants within a ten or fifteen minute drive. Be sure to bring plenty of insect repellent - the mosquitoes are voracious both during the day and night.
All in all a delightful little cottage, very away from it all and in the midst of some stunning countryside.

Charming, peaceful and welcoming farmhouse in beautiful Tuscany
I just want to say thank you so much to Christina, Christina and Stephano for helping us have such a wonderful stay in Lucca, Tuscany. The whole holiday was well planned and organised, with frequent and helpful communication before we arrived. Christina also recommended an excellent taxi company to transfer my family from Florence airport to the villa, and kindly bought us some grosseries as we were arriving on the Saturday evening. The villa was just as we hoped, clean, well presented and with a traditionally Italian feel in places. The gardens and pool area were lovely and well maintained, we spent several days just relaxing there. There was a great mini market 5 minutes walk down the road and Lucca was a 20 minute taxi/car ride away. We would highly recommend staying here again, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at the farmhouse and would certainly book again. Thank you.
