Dream stay
My family (mother in 70s, sister/spouse, husband plus 3 kids ages 4-10) stayed at Hugh's house for a little over 2 weeks. The weather did not cooperate as it was mostly cool and grey/rainy, but we savored every moment of the property and its location near Lucca and many major sights. Getting to and from the house is a little daunting at first as locals whiz along the 1-lane roads and the path becomes gravel towards the end, but after a couple days we got the hang of it. The house itself is very welcoming and so relaxing - views to the mountains dotted with villas, farmland and vineyards sprawling below, windows and Dutch doors that let in the breeze. Three patios let you soak it in from all directions. Despite the weather we were able to eat outside a fair bit and had Hugh's recommended private chef, Fabrizio, spoil us a couple nights during our stay. (Highly recommend!!) Kitchen was very well stocked; didn't want for anything when cooking. Fell in love with Lucca - a laid back old world city in the best sense. Beautiful wandering the streets and popping into restaurants and squares. Riding on the walls a must especially for the kids. We got to feel like it was home pretty quickly. The "unsung hero" of the trip was Hugh himself, though, who allowed us to begin settling in immediately without having to figure out too much on our own. The best (local) restaurants, shops, markets - everything you could wish for out of a tour guide. Super responsive and personable. I could go on.
