We had the pleasure to spend almost 3 weeks in this old house of our gentle hosts Lucia and Piero. To us it was almost perfect with it’s great view over the Tuscan rivierea and situated in the tiny, tiny village Luciano high up the hills. It was not easy to locate it but we finally succeeded by asking one of the kind habitants of Luciano. Once you know how to turn the steering wheel to manage getting around the corners of the little street which leeds to the parking space you get along very well. The kitchen became our living room during rainy days and of course in the evenings. There is a TV in every room and a huge flat screen in the living room in the cellar (which is not really necessary if you don’t speak Italian :-(( ).

What we were not happy about on arrival was the situation for storing clothes in the main bedroom under the roof. The worst was that the drawers of the big commode jammed and almost could not be opened. There was a big risk of damaging them. The left side of the cabinet strongly smelled of mothballs which did not really made it tempting to store clothes in there. We already wanted to move into another bedroom but finally managed at least to solve the problem with the not opening drawers by using an old houshold trick: rubbing all edges with a piece of dry soap. We then put each drawer in sequence of the number written on it‘s right side. Now they should run smoothly. Such things should be checked before visitors arrive.

But for all other questions and problems such as a timewise not working wireless internet access Lucia and Piero were very helpul and solved problems the quickest possible. All in all we spent really nice and relaxing holidays in this house and thank the owners Lucia and Piero for their kind hospitality.

Don’t miss the excellent „Yoghurteria and Gelateria“ which is on the right side when the streets starts going up the hill from Massarosa to Luciano. We stopped there almost every day.
