Lucca Stone House, San Ginese, Italy

Have you always wanted to spend your holidays in Tuscany, with it's beautiful scenery and cypresses and with nothing but quiet peace all around you? If so, this could be interesting for you:
Just outside of Lucca, not being a very big town itself, there is the small village of San Ginese, which you will only be able to find with the newest GPS systems (and maybe not even with them). There is not much to see in this village (I can't even say I was very much impressed by Lucca), except for a few little restaurants that happened to be closed all at the same time when I stayed in San Ginese, a post office and, well, that's probably it. So you might think this place has got nothing to offer you. Wrong!
All you need to do to spend one of your most peaceful holidays ever in San Ginese, is to book a room in the "Lucca Stone House". 
"Lucca Stone House" is a lovely little accomodation, run by an Englishman and his Italian wife. You can choose between the rooms or the apartments. If you decide to take a room, you will have to share the bathroom with other guests, whereas the apartments have an their own bathrooms and a kitchen. 
As I have only stayed in one of the apartments so far, I can only tell you about them. If staying in one of the apartments, you need to take care of all your meals yourself, which is no problem because there is a supermarket nearby, where you can buy everything you might need. The apartment size is sufficient and the kitchen is fully equipped. There is no air conditioning, which could be a problem in the summer, especially in August, but you can't miss the chance of staying at the Lucca Stone House because of this. The house itself is really, really pretty and there is a big courtyard with a place to eat sit and some deck chairs. There is also a huge garden with a small swimming pool, which the guests are welcome to use. 

Sitting in the courtyard you might quickly find yourself in company of a one or two cats and the owners' friendly dog. The Lucca Stone House is the perfect location if you just want to relax, enjoy the scenery and the sun, read a book or two or just do nothing at all. Can you really think of anything more peaceful? 
It might also be interesting to visit the Stone House in the winter, which is possible, because the apartments can be rented all throughout the year, while the rooms are only available from April till the beginning of November. 
So please make sure you visit Lucca Stone House during your next tour throughout Italy.
