AirBnB or other rental recs for Lucca & surrounding area?

[kathyb]

Hi, we were considering staying in the city center of Lucca during our August trip (flying in/out of Florence so bookending our trip with a few nights in Florence). Now we are considering looking for a house/villa/apt nearby with access to a pool, from which we can do our typical hub-and-spoke exploration each day (Cinque T, Pisa, etc). Since we will have two kids with us, we want access to a pool for days we want to chill.

I have found some interesting, affordable places on AirBnB - does anyone have any recs, tips, or warnings re looking for this kind of place?

thanks in advance! K

Hello, Agriturismo (holiday accommodation on a farm) may be what you're looking for.
A good source of real agriturismi (real working farms that accommodate guests as an integration to their income.
A good site for agriturismi is Agriturismo.it
Of course I'm sure that someone may be able to personally recommend somewhere where they stayed personally, but this may be a good place to look if you can't find something.

Its (sadly) been quite some time since we used them, but Deborah at Lucca Holiday Homes was great and they offer a range of properties.
