his immaculately maintained villa in the hilltops close to the spa town of Montecatini Terme has stunning views across Val di Nievole and Montecatini. You will want to spend many evenings eating al fresco in the garden loggia. The medieval walled city of Lucca is a short journey and Florence and Pisa are both within easy striking distance. Casale Cozzile accommodates parties of up to 10 people, making it a very good choice for extended groups of family or friends who fancy experiencing an albeit too brief Tuscan idyll together. A ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom gives extra flexibility for anyone in the gathering who may have mobility issues, making this ideal for truly inclusive holidays. Waking in one of the airy, pastel-coloured bedrooms, dotted with pleasing painted furniture, with those views through the window of the countryside beyond, you are certain to feel on top of the world here. The friendly owners live in the next door property but are respectful of your privacy.
